"  This just in from WWD: Despite this week&amp;#039;s heated dispute between IMG, the official producer of Mercedez-Benz Fashion Week, and the union that oversees most of Lincoln Center&amp;#039;s stagehand and theatrical labor (Local One of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees), over who will set up the Fashion Week tents, and exactly where they will be erected, it seems the two factions have come to an amicable solution. The agreement,which now guarantees that there will not be any picketing at the Fashion Week site, runs through February 2013, meaning New York Fashion Week should go off without a hitch. In other protest-related news, attendees of Paris&amp;#039; Fashion Night Out should be on the look out for alternative modes of transportation for the big night on September 7th. Seven different unions are a nationwide string of strikes and demonstrations in opposition to government reforms to the national pension system, possibly making it tough to get in and out of the City of Lights. And just think, it isn&amp;#039;t even September yet.  \u2014Natalie Hormilla Photo: Brian Stanton "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
