Every February and September, designers and fashion aficionados descend upon New York City for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. It’s a chance to take stock of the trends and hot looks for upcoming seasons.

While February’s event highlighted the must-have threads for fall 2013, the next New York Fashion Week will offer the first glimpse at the spring 2014 collections from the world’s leading designers. Starting September 5 at Lincoln Center, the event gives designers a chance to show off the looks that will dominate the fashion landscape in the months to come.

Over 80 designers — from the up-and-coming to the international superstars — will present their spring 2014 collections over the course of eight days. By the time Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week wraps up on September 12, you’ll have your finger firmly on the pulse of the fashion world.

The great thing about Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, taking place in New York City, is that there are plenty of shopping options for those inspired to shop for the current season. From cutting-edge boutiques to big-name department stores, you’ll quickly fill your shopping bags with the hottest new fashions from your favorite designers. Whether it’s casual wear, shoes or accessories you’re after, (or a little bit of everything), shopping in New York City is as good as it gets.

Once you’ve slipped into your latest purchases, take them out on the town to one of New York’s incredible restaurants. From mom-and-pop hidden treasures to Michelin-starred white-tablecloth eateries, the city’s restaurant scene is second-to-none.

Continue your New York adventure at one of the city’s nightclubs and dance the night away, or bask in the glow of one of the city’s intimate live-music venues. By the time you’re back in the comfortable surroundings of your luxury hotel, you’ll be ready to call it a night. Just make sure you’re ready to do it all over again — Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week waits for no one!
