To that end, New York Fashion Week LIVE (http://newyorkfashionweeklive.com), (#1 of all media outlets for overall user engagement last season) has added new features to offer a more streamlined way to watch and interact during the live streams from both Mercedes-Benz and MADE, beginning February 6, 2014.
Interactive, and Linked To London, Milan And Paris
New "Chat," "Watch Live" and Instagram sections make for a more interactive experience during the live streams.
And a "Switch City" function allows viewers to watch London, Milan and Paris, following New York.
Fashion Week 2.0?
Says spokesperson Pablo Avion: "The public is ready for 'Fashion Week 2.0'; we're all just waiting to see what form it will take. Although IMG recently announced its desire to make actual event attendance more exclusive (and Vera Wang and others have announced actual or possible defections from Lincoln Center), more so than ever, people want to see the shows online.
"They want to bring fashion week into their lives, homes and conversations. And with MADE now streaming from Milk Studios, people are enjoying more options, and the ability to interact with the events and one another."
About New York Fashion Week LIVE and Fashion Week Online

What Makes It Unique

- Plus fashion app reviews, interviews and articles on the intersection of fashion and music.
