A view of the atmosphere as seen around Spring 2016 New York Fashion Week in New York City. Busacca/Getty Images[/caption] Glamour, fashion, models and celebrities descend on New York (even more than normal) over the next nine days for New York Fashion Week. The sprint draws nearly $900 million to the area, more than the New York City Marathon and the U.S. Open, according to a new report. Hundreds of shows and presentations are expected to take place in the city, with the accompanying parties, sightings and behind-the-scenes information that make NYFW one of fashion’s biggest events. The 2016 season kicks off with a new collection from Kanye West’s Yeezy line, which made headlines last winter with its debut at Madison Square Garden and this year has already drawn controversy with the line’s casting call for “multiracial women only.” Tom Ford is also expected to show his fall collection, instead of his spring 2017 line. Showing clothes that are “see-now, buy-now” is already a trend this season. Many brands are expected to debut their fall lines, and others like Tommy Hilfiger and Rebecca Minkoff, are looking to utilize social media in new ways as part of their presentations. There are also a number of designers showing at NYFW for the first time, including Kenzo, Talitha and the Misha Collection.
