The lobby of the 120-year-old historic New York Plaza Hotel transformed into a glamorous fashion show runway.
The faces of famous singers, actors, and sports stars were visible everywhere.
New York Fashion Week, recognized as one of the world's top four fashion shows, was held over six days.
The most prominent feature this year was practicality.
Amid uncertain economic conditions, consumers have started seeking clothes that they can wear easily at any time rather than merely flamboyant garments, leading many brands to present simple and comfortable designs.
In fact, while luxury spending has slowed in the wake of the Middle East conflict, sales of practical and proven fashion companies have increased. Many observers noted that this trend was clearly evident at this event, which previewed spring and summer fashion for next year.
Korean designers also shone at this year's New York Fashion Week.
Designer Sohn Jung-wan, who has been the only domestic designer to participate every season to promote Korean fashion, drew attention at her 29th New York stage with original designs and vibrant colors.

There was also a Korean company that prepared a special gift for Korean War veterans living in the United States.
Meaning to remember the honor and sacrifice of the veterans through contemporary clothing, they crafted jackets that modernly reinterpret the US military uniforms from the time of the war and delivered them ahead of the fashion show.
