The week will also feature the return of brands which were absent from the official New York schedule last season, including COS – which has experimented with runway shows in various locations – Cynthia Rowley, Simkhai, and Who Decides War. First-time additions to the schedule include Advisry, Campillo, Michael Fausto, Salon 1884, and TWP.
Ralph Lauren and Proenza Schouler will present their collections before the official week, with Proenza Schouler on September 4 and Ralph Lauren in the Hamptons on September 5.
New York Men’s Day will also occur on September 6, featuring A. Potts, Clara Son, Earthling, Sivan, and The Salting from 10:30 a.m. to noon, and Of Nothing, Sermon Series, Stan, Tarpley, and Terry Singh from 4:30 to 6 p.m.ers.
This season also marks the 20th anniversary of the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund. The CFDA NYFW Travel Fund, in its fifth season, continues to support international editors’ attendance, fostering global relationships and emphasizing NYFW’s cultural and economic significance.
“NYFW remains the home base for showcasing the best of American fashion. This season boasts a powerful lineup of established and emerging brands experimenting with forward-thinking ways of presenting their collections. The CFDA is taking additional action to strengthen an already robust week, addressing calls for improvements across logistics and strategy to benefit both brands and attendees. We are proud of the September schedule, which represents the designers, brand leaders, communications and media teams, show producers, casting directors, and more who make the week a reality,” Joseph Maglieri, Director of Fashion Week Initiatives, CFDA, said.
