Fashion week continues in New York City with plenty of celebrities and clothing most people can’t afford.
But what is it?
Fashion week takes place two times each year. It happens once for spring and once for fall. The week of shows allows brands or houses the opportunity to show their latest collections for the upcoming season and lets models strut their stuff on the runway.
What is all the fuss about?
Fashion week happens all over the world but the top four get the most attention. The clothes on the runway dictate the trends we will see later. New York starts things off, and then comes London, Milan and finally Paris. It is an opportunity for many people to view beautiful clothes and socialize with beautiful people.
Who attends these shows?
These showcases of style are not open to the public. Buyers, journalists and celebrities show up for the events. If you want to see the trends and styles now you’ll have to settle for magazines and news stories online. The clothes won’t be available in stores until next season.
Fashion week is a major event for designers and celebrities. But in English, Fashion week is also a noun acting as an adjective.
As you know, a noun is a person, place or thing. An adjective is a word that describes a noun.
Sometimes we use a noun to describe another noun. That is the noun as adjective structure.
Here are some rules for a noun as an adjective:
- The first noun acts like an adjective and describes the second noun.
- It is typically in singular form even if you are talking about more than one of something.
- The rare plural form is always the second noun. This happens with words like clothes, customs and sports. For example: winter sports.
- The noun acting as an adjective comes first.
- You can still use another adjective to describe the noun as adjective structure. For example: a successful movie producer.
Here are some examples:
A love story is a story about love
Pistachio ice cream is ice cream with pistachio flavor
A soccer ball is a ball for soccer
A shoe store is a store that sells shoes
A music video is a video about music
Expensive fuel prices are expensive prices for fuel
A user name is a name for a user of an account
