New York Fashion Week booted out of Lincoln Center Cest la vie, fashionistas. The city of New York and Lincoln Center are evicting the invitation-only, twice-yearly Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in a court spat over destroyed trees and displaced park benches. A judge Friday approved a pretrial settlement in a complaint brought by community groups. They objected to the onslaught of the fashion industry at Damrosch Park, a 2.4-acre stretch on the Upper West Side that is adjacent to and managed by Lincoln Center. Olive Freud, president of the Committee for Environmentally Sound Development, one of the groups that filed the complaint in May 2013, said Were going to get flowers and benches and theres going to be a park again, were all very happy here.
