NEW YORK — In what appears to be a first for a New York City mayor, Bill de Blasio will welcome the Council of Fashion Designers of America to Gracie Mansion on Wednesday night for a cocktail party to launch fashion week.

While his predecessor, Michael Bloomberg, was known to get the shows rolling by cutting the opening-day ribbon at Lincoln Center, de Blasio plans to mingle with designers in his Yorkville home. The fact that the mayor and his wife, Chirlane McCray, will be trumpeting American designers in such a manner appears to reinforce his pledge earlier this year to the fashion industry.
