The Fashion Center Button Bike
Here’s a look at our very own Tour de Fashion bicycle – The Big Button Bike, a tribute to our iconic Big Button Kiosk on Seventh Avenue and all of the amazing trim and notions shoppes that call the Garment District home!
A Bike Fit for a Maharaja (or Maharani!)
It’s still a work in progress but this soon-to-be Bollywood-inspired bike is a refreshing hue and pleasantly pink. Get a look at it now because it will soon be bedazzled, bejeweled and otherwise blinged out by the talented Amrita Singh!
Nicole Miller Dives in…Crate First
We caught up with Nicole Miller in her studio and she was kind enough to let us snap a pic of her colorful, hand-painted bicycle crate. We can’t wait to see this designer ride when she’s done with it!
That’s a Wrap!
Lela Rose gives her bike a punchy dose of color with this fun and functional design.
Sneak Peek: Minkoff’s Morning After Bike
Rebecca Minkoff’s electric blue bike is looking sexy as hell…and it’s only half-way done! This bike is making us anything but blue. Find out how you can ride it for free during Fashion Week by visiting our Borrow-A-Bike page.

Chantilly Lace and a Pretty… Bike
Anthony and Celeste Lilore of Restore Clothing are creating an eco-friendly bicycle using lace and other local materials.
The Tour de Fashion Fleet, Unadorned
The Tour de Fashion fleet was purchased by the Fashion Center from Bowery Lane Bicylces, which hand-makes its bicycles in New York City. The unadorned Bowery Lane Bicycle is sure to make an excellent canvas for the Tour de Fashion designers. If the bikes look this good un-designed, imagine what our designers can do with them!
