The CFDA NYFW Travel Fund, which aims to build relationships between the media and designer brands, and has supported nearly 40 international editors to date with financial and in-kind support made possible through brand contributions and strategic partnerships, is now in its fifth year.
“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,” said Joseph Maglieri, director of Fashion Week Initiatives, CFDA.
Since acquiring the Fashion Calendar in October 2014, the CFDA has been the sole organizer of the Official NYFW Schedule.
As reported in May, IMG, the producer of NYFW: The Show, made some big changes in its operation of NYFW. It said it would pivot from producing a centralized venue for NYFW: The Shows to concentrating its efforts on facilitating brand partnerships and creative collaborations between brands and designers. It looks to provide tailored support that aligns with designers’ needs year-round.
