In response to weak sales as consumer confidence hits an all-time low, many big-name designers are foregoing the hooplah of Bryant Park Fashion Week this year and opting for something more intimate (ie — cheap) Designers Betsey Johnson, Vera Wang, Donna Karan, and Carmen Marc Valvo are among the designers skipping the tents this year for their Fall 2009 collections. More are expected to follow suit as customers pare down their spending. Also in some exciting news, Betsey Johnson may team up with Target of H&M for a recession-friendly line featuring affordable clothing and accessories.
