Established in 2022, the CFDA NYFW Fund has enabled more than 50 international retailers, editors and media stakeholders to attend NYFW across eight seasons, providing financial and in-kind support that helps amplify the American collections on a global stage. In addition, the CFDA NYFW Shuttle presented by Google Shopping, now in its fourth season, will continue to provide logistical support and show-to-show transit while reducing the week’s carbon footprint with group ride sharing.
“The New York Fashion Week season finds designers and their businesses meeting challenges and changes head on.There is a spirit of independence, zealous creativity and a commitment to community to forge ahead,” said Joseph Maglieri, CFDA’s director of fashion week initiatives. “American fashion represents singular visions meeting collection purpose — from debuts to homecomings to changing of guards, the autumn-winter 2026 lineup presents a week that speaks to resilience and a focus on the future.”
New York Men’s Day takes place Feb. 11. From 10:30 a.m. to noon, designers A. Potts, Avon Anglers, Chelsea Grays and Peak Lapel will show their collections. From 4:30 pm. to 6 p.m., the men’s designers are Christopher Lowman, Monday Blues, Studio, Science Project Co., and Wangda will show.
