Clash over cobblestones: Paris resists shift in scheduled dates

In an unexpected turn of events, the fashion world has been shaken by a series of changes to the calendar of major fashion weeks. The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) has reached an agreement with London, Milan, and New York regarding the start dates of their fashion weeks, causing a stir and raising concerns among the fashion capitals.

The agreement, which gave London Fashion Week an extra day to showcase its menswear creations, has had a domino effect on the schedules of other fashion weeks. The change in dates of the New York fashion week directly affected the schedule of Paris Fashion Week, causing it to be delayed.

The dispute between the fashion weeks is centered around the New York fashion week potentially overshadowing the others. Diane Von Furstenberg moved the New York runway in the calendar, starting it on the second Thursday of September. This decision could potentially overshadow Milan and Paris in the new 2012 and 2013 fashion calendar.

The disagreement between Paris, Milan, and London is related to the order of their fashion weeks in the calendar. For several decades, Paris Fashion Week was scheduled to follow Milan, a practice that has been well-established in the fashion industry. However, the change in dates has disrupted this long-standing tradition.

The issue arose between Milan and London due to their disagreement about being overshadowed by the New York runway. Despite the agreement being reached between the CFDA and the other fashion weeks, Paris does not accept it. Paris gave a negative response to the CFDA, as they were not present in any of the discussions.

The decision to change the Paris Fashion Week in 2012 and 2013 was made without Paris being involved in the negotiations; however, the search results do not specify who exactly made this decision or explicitly explain why Paris was excluded from the discussions.

This controversy has raised questions about the fairness and transparency of the decision-making process. As the fashion industry grapples with these changes, it remains to be seen how the fashion weeks will be affected in the coming years and whether a resolution can be reached to satisfy all parties involved.
