Fashion Week 2009
Get ready New Yorkers, Bryant Park is going to be holding another Fashion Week starting this Friday. But some designers like Vera Wang and Betsey Johnson are skipping out on it maybe because it costs between $28,000 and $58,000 to rent one of three spaces in Bryant Park. Still, when you factor in the cost of models, DJs, make-up and hair, the price to put on a single show can balloon beyond $500,000. The economy is hard right now. SOURCE
