New York Fashion Week kicked off amidst the participation of Fendi, Marni, COS, & more

The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA), in partnership with IMG, has released the runway show line-up for September. A number of established international labels are joining the NYFW schedule this time around. For one, Swedish brand COS will be making its NYFW debut. In a major turn of events, Fendi held a special show to celebrate the 25-year anniversary of the Baguette bag. Lastly, Milan-based label Marni will join the ranks of NYFW participants, too.

So far, over 100 designers have been confirmed to participate in the major fashion event.

As always, the brand new collections from familiar heavy-hitters like Tory Burch, Prabal Gurung, Altuzarra, and Michael Kors are slated to hit the runway next month.

In addition, brands like Tommy Hilfiger, AREA, and PUMA will also return to NYFW after taking a break from seasonal runway shows. Emerging fashion designers like ASHLYN, One/Of by Patricia Voto, and Tia Adeola are joining the schedule for the first time, too, as well as the 2022 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalists Fe Noel, Sukeina, No Sesso, Elena Velez, Judy Turner, Wiederhoeft, and Black Boy Knits.



The shows this year have a special meaning, too, as the CFDA itself celebrates its 60th anniversary. “As the organizer of the official NYFW schedule, we are incredibly proud to release a line-up that reflects our founding principle: to promote American fashion on a global scale,” the council’s CEO Steven Kolb said in a statement.

“We celebrate the collective excellence, diversity, and resilience of our industry and look forward to a strong American collections season alongside our esteemed international guests.”
