Although IMG has used the space for the last five years, tensions have been growing since May 2013, when local residents, environmental groups, and members of the Damrosch family filed a lawsuit in New York State Supreme Court demanding that "the agreement between the Parks Department and Lincoln Center be terminated, the park be restored and no longer used for non-park purposes," reports WWD.

However, although new venues have not been announced, IMG intimated that rather than be forced out, the decision was a mutually beneficial one.
"Lincoln Center has been a great home for the past five years and we look forward to another world-class season this February," said a spokesperson yesterday. "However, as the fashion industry continues to evolve, IMG has been actively looking for a new home for NYFW that gives our designers and partners the best possible environment to share their creative visions. We look forward to sharing more details on our new home soon."
