In adult humans at rest, any rate between 12-20 breaths per minute is normal and tachypnea is indicated by a ventilatory rate greater than 20 breaths per minute. Children have significantly higher resting ventilatory rates, which decline rapidly during the first three years of life and steadily until around 18 years.
Presentation during the 2014 New York Fashion Week. A fashion week is a fashion industry event, lasting approximately one week, wherein fashion designers, brands or houses display their latest collections in runway shows to buyers and the media. Most importantly, these events let the industry know what's in and what's out for the season.
The first official Fashion Week began as Press Week in 1943 at the height of World War II. The American fashion media couldnât get over to Parisâwhere the most fashion-y of shows went downâto see the next seasonâs collections. Silver lining: It was New York (and Americaâs) chance to show the world what they could do. From then on, Press Week turned into Fashion Week and shows were staged in venues all over New York City. But in 1994 the runways found their first home at Bryant Park, conveniently located near the Garment District.
