Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week New York

New York Fashion Week has a long history behind it with the first New York Fashion being held in 1943. It’s original purpose was more a political objective rather than a fashion objective. In 1994 the event was moved to where it currently is held today, Bryant Park, in a series of large white tents that were placed all over the park. Admission ended up being very difficult to obtain and most admissions were by invitation only to the fashion industry, press, celebrities, and other designers. The New York Fashion Week in 2009 got a taste of the bad economy when many designers decided to not set up full runways in Bryant Park, but to do smaller presentations that saved time and money. However, time became less of an issue starting with 2009 due to new technologies which allowed designers to showcase their designs all over the world using the internet and new iPhone apps and digital media.

None. Some models in the Vivienne fashion show even walked carrying mini notebook computers instead of a fancy clutch or a pop-out handbag. In late 2009, Bryant Park management pressured the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week to be held in Damrosch Park at the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. The semi-annual New York Fashion Week is held in February and September of each year in New York City. It ends up being one of the top four fashion weeks held around the world, with the other top three being held in Paris, Milan, and London. The fashion show claims itself to be New York's, "single largest media event" that happens twice a year. The winter collection is presented in February and the spring collections are presented in September. Around 80 designer shows happen over the course of 8 days in the respective months and about 100,000 fashion industry insiders attend the event making the fashion show a prime opportunity to exchange ideas and compete for business.

You gotta ask the man himself. Less is more, it really is. The Toyota GT86/Subaru BRZ is a beautiful car from factory and it really needs minimal touches to make it perfect. And this particular example is done to perfection in my eyes. Lakeland Tyres rally inspired Yaris has been turning heads since the days it started rolling around the Irish roads. I really think it is time it deserves a mention and a top 10 status. Simon knows how to build an amazing race car. Having built an then sold an amazing Opel Manta in the past, he swiftly moved on to the next project - a Porsche 944 turbo. The car yet again is finished to perfection and after having raced it round the circuits and hill climbs, I must beg you Simon, put it away - it belongs in shows now, not tracks. It is too good for it. This pretty spectacular vehicle was also built by Momentum Motorsport and owned by Andrew for quite some time before it was sold on this year. This R35 is packing any Litchfield upgrade known to man and producing more than 1000 horsepower. It also tried to bite the new owner a few times on the track which I am sure was a bit hairy.

Even more visually expressive and with an even more elegant and comfortable interior, Mercedes-Benz presents the new GL-Class "Grand Edition". This distinctive, new special edition of the off-roader comes as standard with a level of spaciousness and comfort that is on a par with a luxury saloon. Features reserved exclusively for the "Grand Edition" designation include special light-alloy wheels with 275/50 R 20 tyres, high-quality, two-tone leather seats in a new design, and wood trim in black ash. The special Grand Edition model also offers an array of high-quality additional equipment and is available with all the engines in the GL-Class line-up. The exclusive front end of the "Grand Edition" is unmistakeable: dark-tinted headlamps, a radiator grille with black, high-gloss louvres and a redesigned front bumper with integrated LED daytime running lamps define the special model. Light-alloy wheels in himalayas grey metallic - with a high-sheen finish also available as an option - add further exclusivity. There are other visual highlights too, such as metallic paint finishes, heat-insulating and infrared-reflecting laminated glass all round, aluminium-look running boards with rubber studs, and separated exhaust tailpipe trim.

The interior of the GL-Class accommodates up to seven occupants in comfort with an exceptional level of spaciousness, creating the luxurious atmosphere you would expect from Mercedes-Benz - in this case comparable to the S-Class. For the "Grand Edition", Mercedes-Benz has refined the interior further, especially through the use of stylish materials. Exclusive appointments include two-tone seats (black/porcelain or black/maroon) in leather (or in nappa leather as an option) with a special piping design and contrasting stitching. Likewise only available on the Mercedes-Benz GL-Class "Grand Edition" are door centre panels, armrests and dashboard instrument panel with double-lapped felling, as well as trim and a wood/leather steering wheel in black ash. The Mercedes-Benz GL-Class "Grand Edition" models are equipped with PARKTRONIC and any one of the available engines. The V6 diesel engine in the GL 350 BlueTEC 4MATIC utilises highly efficient SCR exhaust gas technology, outputs 155 kW (211 hp) and delivers its maximum torque of 540 Newton metres at 1600 rpm.
