<p>Moving from the tents at Bryant Park over to Lincoln Center is more than just a minor adjustment, it&#8217;s a whole new show. Gone are the images of huge black <nobr>Mercedes-Benz</nobr> tents with groves of fans in front, in are the days of a fresh statuesque emblem for NYFW.</p>
<p>According to <a target="_blank" href="http://www.wwd.com/fashion-news/fashion-weeks-new-look-3055008?module=featured_3055008" target="_blank"><em>WWD</em></a>, &#8220;The Lincoln Center shows will feature four main venues: The Theatre, The Stage, The Studio and The Box Presentation Space. The Theatre venue, with an <nobr>all-black</nobr> interior, will have seating for 969 people and the option for a straight or <nobr>U-shaped</nobr> runway. The Stage venue, in white with gray carpeting, can seat 740, with stadiumlike bench seats. The Studio will be the smallest runway venue, for 369 people in its gray environment, and The Box space is designated for presentations and events, with an ability to accommodate 125 people.&#8221;</p>
<p>The huge facade between The Met Opera House and the Koch Theatre was constructed by design firm Diller Scofidio + Renfro. Their rendered image above gives us a glimpse of what NYFW will look like from here on out.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A&nbsp;big congratulations to&nbsp;Erik for&nbsp;being the&nbsp;winner of&nbsp;our NYFW EBay contest! His winning bid will go directly to&nbsp;charity and&nbsp;in&nbsp;return he got treated like fashion royalty with a&nbsp;makeover from wardrobe stylist Blair, a&nbsp;visit to&nbsp;<strong>Ricardo Rojas</strong>, and&nbsp;a&nbsp;trip to&nbsp;the&nbsp;tents for&nbsp;<strong>Prabal Gurung</strong>&#39;s runway show. Erik also received access to&nbsp;our exclusive launch party where he mingled and&nbsp;chatted it up with <strong>Zoe Saldana</strong>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1057" src="http://blog.myfdb.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/ZoeErik.bmp" title="ZoeErik" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We asked Erik to&nbsp;share some the&nbsp;day&#39;s highlights with us:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&quot;I&nbsp;was dressed by&nbsp;my&nbsp;personal stylist Blair, who put together the&nbsp;perfect outfit, then I&nbsp;was off to&nbsp;the&nbsp;Ricardo Rojas salon where I&nbsp;was pampered with a&nbsp;relaxing oxygen facial. Then I&nbsp;arrived in&nbsp;style at&nbsp;the&nbsp;Prabal Gurung Fashion show, which was absolutely amazing! The&nbsp;MyFDB launch party was completely off the&nbsp;hook!! I&nbsp;was introduced to&nbsp;many vibrant personalities from the&nbsp;world [of] fashion.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Meeting Zoe Saldana was definitely the&nbsp;highlight of&nbsp;my&nbsp;night!! Zoe was just as&nbsp;charming and&nbsp;lovely as&nbsp;I&nbsp;had expected! I&nbsp;felt totally relaxed as&nbsp;we talked and&nbsp;took pictures together!&quot;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Thanks for&nbsp;sharing Erik and&nbsp;we&#39;re so glad you had an&nbsp;awesome time! For&nbsp;those that didn&#39;t win we&#39;ll have more contests coming up; so stay tuned for&nbsp;your chance to&nbsp;win some amazing swag.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-969" height="453" src="http://blog.myfdb.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/AdaraRichardo.jpg" title="AdaraRichardo" width="604" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Our New York Fashion Week contest was such a&nbsp;hit and&nbsp;we thank everyone that entered, but there could only be one online winner and&nbsp;that was the&nbsp;lovely Adara! We&#39;re so glad she won and&nbsp;her energy radiated throughout her fashion adventures from the&nbsp;<strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.prabalgurung.com/">Prabal Gurung </a></strong>runway show to&nbsp;meeting her inspiration <strong>Zoe Saldana</strong>. MyFDB got Adara ready for&nbsp;the&nbsp;day&#39;s events by&nbsp;hooking her up with renowned stylist Blair, who helped her put together an&nbsp;<nobr>A-list</nobr> look and&nbsp;then whisked her over to&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="http://www.ricardorojashair.com/">Ricardo Rojas studio</a> for&nbsp;hair (and&nbsp;we mean HAIR) and&nbsp;makeup.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The&nbsp;beautiful Adara was sweet enough to&nbsp;share her personal experience with us and&nbsp;of&nbsp;course we had to&nbsp;pass it along to&nbsp;all of&nbsp;our readers:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&quot;Prabal&#39;s show was so fun, it was my&nbsp;first fashion show ever! His clothes are absolutely beautiful and&nbsp;wearable. My&nbsp;favorites were this cream strapless dress with ostrich feather detail and&nbsp;a&nbsp;black and&nbsp;red, one shouldered dress with this incredible pleating along the&nbsp;bust. It&#39;s amazing how much he&#39;s done in&nbsp;just a&nbsp;year or&nbsp;so, and&nbsp;you could tell how anticipated his collection was. There were so many buyers there and&nbsp;Anna Wintour herself came to&nbsp;watch, which is pretty exciting.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-973" height="453" src="http://blog.myfdb.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/AdaraZoe.jpg" title="AdaraZoe" width="604" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Meeting Zoe was incredible! I&#39;m not really the&nbsp;type of&nbsp;person to&nbsp;freak out over celebrities, but I&nbsp;have admired her and&nbsp;her career since I&nbsp;was 12, so to&nbsp;meet her in&nbsp;person was totally surreal. We drove over to&nbsp;her hotel around 8 and&nbsp;I&nbsp;was shaking the&nbsp;whole time. My&nbsp;friend Ezra was with me and&nbsp;he kept talking but I&nbsp;didn&#39;t hear half of&nbsp;what he was saying. Kevin, Ezra and&nbsp;I&nbsp;waited in&nbsp;the&nbsp;lobby for&nbsp;her to&nbsp;come down and&nbsp;I&nbsp;was so nervous and&nbsp;excited. Zoe was the&nbsp;nicest person, everything I&nbsp;expected her to&nbsp;be and&nbsp;more. She has so much personality and&nbsp;is so bouncy and&nbsp;excited. When she talked about Prabal you could tell how proud of&nbsp;him she was, as&nbsp;well as&nbsp;Keith (who was also so nice) [MyFDB&#39;s CEO] and&nbsp;how well MyFDB is doing. She said that when he started it was just him and&nbsp;two computers in&nbsp;the&nbsp;basement and&nbsp;now here he was at&nbsp;fashion week having this huge launch. The&nbsp;thing that I&nbsp;will hold closest to&nbsp;me is a&nbsp;piece of&nbsp;advice Zoe gave me as&nbsp;a&nbsp;young <nobr>actor-model</nobr>, and&nbsp;that was to&nbsp;trust myself and&nbsp;make conscious choices about the&nbsp;kind of&nbsp;work I&nbsp;want to&nbsp;do, even if it means turning things down. She was so fun and&nbsp;sweet, I&nbsp;wish she could just take me with her wherever she went: )</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To&nbsp;get a&nbsp;sense of&nbsp;the&nbsp;excitement here&#39;s a&nbsp;short <a target="_blank" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTCxc3gzZk0">video of&nbsp;Adara meeting Zoe</a> shot by&nbsp;her friend Ezra.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Probably the&nbsp;most pleasant surprise was how awesome Kevin Mills, the&nbsp;COO of&nbsp;MyFDB, is. I&nbsp;know how busy he was getting everything ready for&nbsp;the&nbsp;launch that day but he spent so much time with us. We ended up having some pretty amazing conversations about the&nbsp;business and&nbsp;following your passions and&nbsp;Zoe of&nbsp;course: ) I&nbsp;never once felt like I&nbsp;was being pitched to, we were just talking and&nbsp;laughing like normal people. That is so rare in&nbsp;this industry, and&nbsp;I&nbsp;think it really says a&nbsp;lot about the&nbsp;company.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Thank you so much MyFDB, I&nbsp;can&#39;t even properly explain how much this day meant to&nbsp;me. Everyone should keep both eyes on&nbsp;this company. Its made up of&nbsp;some truly genuine people and&nbsp;I&nbsp;can only see it doing bigger and&nbsp;better things in&nbsp;the&nbsp;future!&quot;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Awe!! Thank YOU Adara and&nbsp;we wish you the&nbsp;best in&nbsp;your future endeavors!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Don&#39;t feel bad if you didn&#39;t win because new contests will be announced soon. Zoe can&#39;t be the&nbsp;prize every time, but we will have some treats coming up!</p>
