The New York Fashion Week has been held at the Bryant Park since 1993 where huge makeshift tents are erected to house three showrooms, cafes and bars, bathrooms, a business center and an exhibition space.
Each showroom has a catwalk/runway with special seatings for guests and a section for the press. The showrooms, called The Tent, The Salon and The Promenade, range in size from about 5,000 sq feet (455 sq meters) to 15,000 sq feet (1,394 sq meters).
The first photo (above) was taken late in the evening. You can see the tents have taken over most of the park. The second photo was taken earlier during the day. The generators (over a dozen of them) pipe heat into the tents because the temperature outside is below freezing.

l'envers du decor est souvent moins 'fashion'. tres bonne idee.
the back of the decoration is often less “fashion”. very good idea.
Love the way you've captured the energy and dynamism of the event. I've forgotten what big cities are like.

Excellent reports Ming.
Wow, Ming, you're doing great as a journalist! :)

I like. The 'inside-scoop' from our hidden reporter on the ground!

when I see that huge white anaconda, I think sometimes we have to copy from Nature.
singapore's just the opposite! they pump in cold cold air inside the tents.
they had some fashion show in tents like those in your picture in front of Takashimaya too.
