Olympus Fashion Week is produced by 7th on Sixth , an organization created in 1993 to provide a platform for American designers to make their mark on the global fashion community. Acquired by IMG in July, 2001 from the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) , it was the first organization in America to offer designers state-of-the-art venues and experienced production teams for maximum exposure.
