Foursquare adds two new badges for NYC’s Fashion Week

Foursquare just won the Superbowl with over 200,000 check-ins. Now it aims to take over New York City’s Fashion Week and has introduced two new badges to celebrate.

Badge #1: From now until February 19th, Foursquare users who follow Marc Jacobs and check in at least once to any Marc Jacobs venue will unlock the “Marc Jacobs Fashion Victim 2011” badge. Four users who unlock the badge will be invited to sit amongst the celebs for New York’s fashion week (#NYFW).

Badge #2: When you check into any of these “fashionable hotspots” from now until February 9th, you can grab a free Frappuccino coffee drink with the “Coffee Fashionably” badge. What’s more, if you check in you will have the chance to win invitations to Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. The winner will be announced 2/11.
