Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week packed the Tents at Bryant Park with over 60 designers, who showcased their 2010 Spring Collections from September 10 to September 17, 2009. The iconic tents at Bryant Park were metaphorically packed too, as this season’s trunk and travel theme highlights the future move of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week to Lincoln Center and its integral role in the world-wide fashion industry.
