Anne Vincent of Vogue magazine, 2009

The Scene recently had the opportunity to speak with Anne Vincent, the director of merchandising and special events for Vogue, in anticipation of the 2010 Fall Fashion Week presented by The Bellevue Collection. Fashion Week 2010 takes place this week, August 24 through August 29 and will culminate with the second annual Front Row Fashion show presented by Vogue, the country’s leading haute fashion authority. Vogue will produce a full-scale fashion show highlighting top fall and winter trends found at The Bellevue Collection shops.

Check out video from the Tuesday, August 24 edition of New Day NW on King 5.com, Vogue Director Previews Fall Trends.

Vogue, in partnership with the Council of Fashion Designers of America and Assouline Publishing, present the American Fashion Collection as an exhibit at Bellevue Square, located near the mall entrance of Nordstrom on the first floor. The fashion installation showcases still photography from the American Fashion Collection series of books.

SCENE: Tell me about the partnership between The Bellevue Collection and Vogue magazine? 

VINCENT: Our inaugural trip out to the Seattle area was such a success last year. We had a fantastic time and a good response from everyone involved. We are working right now on the Front Row Fashion show, making it bigger and better than last year. 

SCENE: Anything new this year? 

VINCENT: We are incorporating more looks from stores at The Bellevue Collection, extending the length of the show and flying models in from L.A. The runway will be lengthened to allow for more front row seating. This will be a full-scale production. It’s very exciting.
