Yes they are
the same thing. olympus sponsors the event, so they prefer to have it called olympus fashion week :)
it is
held twice a year. the fall shows are held the preceding winter (february). the spring shows are held the preceding late summer (september). its held in new york city in bryant park (42nd and sixth), an 8-acre park that is
converted to a temporary fashion arena with tents. the tents are huge, air-conditioned and contain several venues for the designers to show their collections. the individual venues -- ranging up to
12,000 square feet -- come complete with runway, seating for attendees, backstage areas, lighting and sound. some fashion designers choose to have their collections shown in showrooms or other off-site venues during the week.
