Mercedes-Benz Fashion
There has been a very polite request at
Talk:Mercedes-Benz_Fashion_Week#Move title - Mercedes-Benz Fashion to change the title of that page by an M-B employee. The discussion originated at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Automobiles#Mercedes-Benz_Fashion_Week_Page. I'm not very familiar with M-B stuff. Could someone more familiar look into it? Thanks.

Generally, use a hyphen in compounded proper names of single entities.
") And note that this is overwhelmingly how the company writes its name, how its name is written in independent sources (when not shortened to "Mercedes"), and comparable to how other companies with hyphenated names like Baskin-Robbins, Anheuser-Busch, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, and Harley-Davidson are written.
