Continuing to cement its place at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York, Style Media announced today its official partnership with IMG Fashion, becoming the exclusive television network sponsor for both the February and September 2013 events. As an official partner, Style will have unprecedented access to one of fashion's biggest weeks, providing fashionistas at home with the latest news and happenings on-air, at StyleNetwork.com and across the network's various social platforms.

"As the top destination for women who are fashion savvy and always keeping up with the latest trends, Style's position as the exclusive television network for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week allows us to continue to fuel our viewers' insatiable appetites for all things style," said Nicole Sabatini, Senior Vice President, Marketing, Style. "From a consumer and trade perspective, this partnership offers exciting opportunities across all of Style's platforms - on-air, on-the-ground and through digital and social media."

Style will kick off its new relationship with IMG Fashion at the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Fall 2013 Collections, taking place at Lincoln Center February 7-14. The network will host a Style-branded lounge in the Event lobby that offers a multitude of on-site activations for attendees. Fashionistas will have access to the Style photo booth, having the ability to share their fun poses with friends through Facebook and Twitter and possibly have their pictures featured on-air. User-generated fashion tips will be captured during the week and posted to the Style QuickTips app available on Windows 8. In addition, many of the fashion shows happening inside the tents will stream in the lounge.

"Style Network is a great fit for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. Their enhanced coverage via their various platforms provides designers showing at the Event unsurpassed exposure to fashion fans worldwide. The 2012 Style Awards was one of the highlights last season and we look forward to seeing what's in store for the future," said Jarrad Clark, Global Director of Production, IMG Fashion Events and Properties.
