Wang Pulls out of Fashion Week

So I was shocked yesterday when I read that Vera Wang was pulling out of New York fashion week, the largest fashion show in the world. She basically said it was too expensive and not worth it in these hard economic times and I think I have to agree with her to an extent. I think it isn't worth it for well known designers because they don't need the exposure. They can have little boutique shows and everyone will know about it and be banging down her office door to come because she is a name. But for people that are just starting out they need the exposure and the press of fashion week to make a splash and get buyers for their line. So I think fashion week still serves a vital purpose and I would hate to see it go away. I would just like to see it get cheaper so that there is a better chance of an unknown getting into the show and getting discovered.
