There are lots of Fashion Weeks across the world, but the most important four remain, New York, London, Milan and Paris.
I was searching for FW dates online and I realized there's no one site that seemed to have all the information for the 'big 4' so I've decided to share the dates here with everyone. I've also included links for further information.
Fashion Week kicks off in NYC - possibly the most commercial of the 'big 4' and then it's a mad dash across the pond to London - home of the edgy, then it's Milan next - home of the classic cut, style and fabrics and winds up in Paris the mother of them all.
If you're in any of these cities see if you can get to the venues...while I don't think it's open to the general public, you can get a job as a dresser backstage or work as a member of the crew (if you have the requisite skills of course.)
p.s If you have a blackberry and might be attending LFW there's an incredibly useful London Fashion Week app from Viigo, download here
"This bespoke application, developed by Viigo for the British Fashion Council, allows you to create your own personalised schedule. Receive live updates when shows are running late and access all our official content whenever you need it, wherever you are. The application also provides BlackBerry users inside access to our designer information and biographies, LFW news and photo galleries, along with recommendations of the hottest restaurants, bars, clubs and hotels in town!!"
I just downloaded it and it's wonderful. I wish the other cities would follow suit and do same.

Thanks these dates are good to know. I like models so I must appreciate fashion week.

@serious bok: i entirely share your sentiment. you can go over to bryant park and pet the models in their natural habitat :-)
