King’s comeback kid Richie Rich will be opening the first night of IMG’s Fashion Week with a runway show on 9/9 at 9PM at Lincoln Center.  

This will be the solo debut for Richie, of Heatherette fame.  Richie’s collection inspiration is POPLUXE - a line designed for the IT GIRL we know from every generation, the timelessly classic party girl.  She’s the one that brings the fun, exuding her confidence. Richie’s new collection will bridge the duality of Richie’s worlds- the divine Pop Culture party roots and the Luxuriously Fashionable Lifestyle- through flirty party dresses and separates in well-crafted fabrics and feminine shapes.  


IVANAhelsinki- a shining star from Finland and leader of the pack in the ongoing NORDIC INVASION of NYC- will be putting the lid on IMG’s Fashion Week with a runway show on 9/16 at 9PM at Lincoln Center.
  Paola Suhonen, designer for IVANAhelsinki



IVANAhelsinki is the only Scandinavian womenswear brand ever to be accepted to the official Paris Fashion Week “IN” show calendar.  This fall, IVANAhelsinki’s runway show In NYC will be the first  Nordic runway show in the IMG calendar.  IVANAhelsinki’s collections delicately bring together Slavic rough melancholy and pure Scandinavian moods, balancing between white arctic summer nights and endless winter sadness.  We are sure she won't dissapoint!

Watch Paola Suhonen, designer of IVANAhelsinki explain how she is not only a designer, but is now also working in film in this interview on MTV3.  

King is so excited that our designers will be setting the stage and making history in this Fall’s IMG NYC Fashion Week.  Stay tuned for more updates and stay fashionable!!
