It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Almost. September may still be a few weeks away, but the preliminary Mercedez-Benz Fashion Week schedule arrived in editors’ in-boxes this morning. According to the release, shows will be spread out between three runway venues, and notable newbies (meaning “designers returning from previous seasons … or those showing for the first time”) include Betsey Johnson, Bibhu Mohapatra, Bill Blass, Buckler, Cynthia Rowley, Derek Lam, Jenny Packham, L.A.M.B., Rosa Cha, Ruffian, Verrier, Vivienne Tam, and Zang Toi.
