New York Fashion Week

Overview

New York Fashion Week is the CFDA’s biannual American collections schedule, held in February and September. It opens the main fashion month sequence and remains the clearest institutional stage for American ready-to-wear, from major commercial labels to younger independent brands.

Its origins lie in Press Week, founded in 1943 to focus attention on American designers. That history still shapes the week’s identity: New York is associated with sportswear, practicality, business-minded presentation and a strong overlap between editorial attention, wholesale activity and brand-building.
