Marc Jacobs and DKNY significantly cut down their guest list for fashion week, and Marc Jacobs even went so far as to - gasp! - cancel the after party.
No after party? That's reason enough to realize fashion weeks are greatly being affected by the economy.
DKNY cut its guest list from the usual 1,000 down to just 400. Four hundred people. That's it.
Marc Jacobs's list, normally 2,000, was cut to 700. Robert Duffy, Jacobs' business partner, also told papers there will only be "one or two celebrities." One or two celebrities at the Marc Jacobs show? At New York Fashion Week? That just seems so ... wrong. And did we mention no after party?
Okay, we understand the importance of cutting costs, but we can still mourn.
In addition, several publications are cutting back on sending editors to overseas fashion weeks. This year's fashion weeks all seem like they'll be a bit warped.
