It looks as if it will be a very international scene next month at New York Fashion Week, with many of the new designers headed to the Bryant Park tents from all over the world to show spring/summer 2010 collections.
Here's the list of the newcomers to the tents released by the producers of the show. So far, the biggest buzz has come from model Erin Wasson, who has a surf and skate lifestyle line (shown here). And it's interesting to note that Tory Burch will leave her crazy party scene (that doubled as a "show") behind for a more structured event under the tents.

Erin Wasson x RCVA: Leading model, Erin Wasson has graced the covers of countless magazines and in the spring of 2009 launched her womenswear collection in collaboration with surf and skate lifestyle brand RCVA.
