New York fashion week is considered as the event for the industry previews, its open the journalists, medias and celebrities. To attend the event you must have the pre-show invitations.

Milan Fashion Week - is one of the strongest of the fashion weeks, with catwalks from legendary designers such as Gucci, Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Fendi -- the list is as long as it is impressive. Although many of the shows happen under the umbrella of the Italian Chamber of Fashion, many more do not.

Paris Fashion Week - considered as the "mother" of all fashion weeks. And though, technically, Paris was the last city to adopt a fashion week (the first, surprisingly, was New York), Paris is, after all, the birthplace of fashion, and of the "haute couture" salon shows that became fashion week.

The Instant fashion/ See-it-buy-it

The fashion designers are trying to cope up against current system where fast fashion companies like Zara and H&M knock off the runway trend with little tweaks and they put it into market within the month of runway show. Now designers are trying to give an option where you can buy the runways styles instantly after the show ends.

Rebecca Minkoff was the first New York designer to show in-season last February and a few companies showed “see-now-by-now” capsules. But the movement picked up steam in the fall when several big names, including Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, Tom Ford, Michael Kors and Burberry, got behind it in a big way. Designers offered everything from a handful of items to a capsule to a full-blown collection shown in-season. Whether instant fashion was a gimmick or salvation for a severely challenged industry was debated all year.

The consensus was that instant fashion requires huge organizational abilities and financial muscle, and if the concept really takes off, it is likely to be mainly for larger, more widely distributed brands, like Hilfiger, Lauren, Burberry, Tom Ford and Minkoff. Their shows this past September turned into major events, with the goal of generating excitement via social media (or traditional media) in the hopes of driving consumers to stores or online to buy.
