The first-time additions to the Official NYFW Schedule will be 6397, Amir Taghi, Dwarmis, Lii, Maria McManus, Nardos, Raúl Peñaranda, Rùadh, and SC103, underlining New York's role as an incubator of fresh talent.
Unexpectedly, the season will debut Thursday, September 11 with Michael Kors at 11 a.m., the first of 69 official runway shows on the calendar organized by the CFDA, American fashion's governing body.
Traditionally, the major runway shows tended to begin on the Friday. This upcoming season will instead be busy from Thursday, September 11 with 12 catwalks show, to Tuesday, September 16. In effect, the season will now be concentrated in the first five days, with Tory Burch and happening label Luar the last two major names. They will close out shows on Tuesday, September 15.
New York can also boast bold face brands like Calvin Klein, Alexander Wang, Coach, Off-White and the newly reenergized Norma Kamali. Along with a series of exciting indie talents like Khaite, Altuzarra, Prabal Gurung, Zankov and Diotima.
However, three of America's most famous global labels - Marc Jacobs, Tommy Hilfiger and Ralph Lauren will all skip the season, as they continue their recent policy of showing outside the official calendar. Plus, major new forces like Thom Browne and Willy Chavarria will also be absent.

However, the season will also include cool New York labels such as Anna Sui, Area, Bevza, Collina Strada, Eckhaus Latta, Fforme, Elena Velez, Jason Wu Collection, KidSuper, Lafayette 148, LaQuan Smith, L'Enchanteur, Luar, Sandy Liang, Sergio Hudson, Simkhai, Tibi, Todd Snyder, TWP, Ulla Johnson, and Who Decides War.
Plus, the 2025 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalists Ashlyn, Bach Mai, Bernard James, Don't Let Disco, Gabe Gordon, Heirlome, Jamie Okuma, and Meruert Tolegen will hold activations or by-appointment presentations throughout the week.
The CFDA NYFW Fund was established in 2022 to raise awareness of the importance of NYFW's cultural, artistic, and economic impact. Now in its seventh season, the CFDA NYFW Fund has supported nearly 50 international editors to date with financial and in-kind support made possible through brand contributions and strategic partnerships.
'The collections this September represent the resilience and dynamism of the city through a global lens,' Joseph Maglieri, CFDA's director of Fashion Week Initiatives, said.
'With great returns to the calendar, visiting brands from around the world, and a new guard of rising talent finding their rhythm and stride, New York Fashion Week continues to be a gateway for discovery, creativity, and storytelling representing the spirit and independence of American fashion,' Maglieri added.
The Council of Fashion Designers of America, Inc. is a not-for-profit trade association founded in 1962 with a membership of more than 350 of America's foremost womenswear, menswear, jewelry, and accessory designers.

'Dracula': Luc Besson's visual bloodbath filled with clichés and problematic female characters
Just a few months after the American filmmaker Robert Eggers released his version (Nosferatu, 2024), Luc Besson has now taken on the legendary vampire – a figure cinema has endlessly revisited and reinterpreted in line with technological advances and the obsessions of the times. By Besson's own admission, this film represents his "artistic rebirth" after a string of setbacks: financial troubles linked to his company Europacorp, which was ultimately sold, and to his ambitious film school project, the École de la Cité. These were compounded by several allegations of sexual assault, and a rape accusation that in 2023 resulted in the case being dismissed due to insufficient evidence. Although Dogman (2023) was meant to mark the start of "a new chapter," it was a resounding failure (with a budget of €20 million and fewer than 300,000 viewers). So another rebirth was needed. Enter Dracula: the story of this eternally melancholic vampire, wounded but unshakable, which inevitably takes on the quality of a self-portrait.

After Stephen Colbert's show is canceled, comedians unite against Trump
At a time when many institutions seem inclined to bow to Trump's power, American comedians are trying to resist. Their first target: Stephen Colbert, who mocked Donald Trump night after night on CBS. The US president described him as "a total loser." On July 17, CBS announced it would end The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in May 2026, a program Colbert has hosted since 2015. Paramount, CBS's parent company, cited "financial reasons." Victims of streaming and audiences splintering across platforms and social media, the big networks' satirical shows no longer have the impact they once enjoyed 20 years ago, when Jay Leno or David Letterman orchestrated Americans' late nights. But the financial argument convinced no one. With an average of 2.4 million viewers, Colbert's Late Show leads the ratings for late-night programming. After a rocky start in 2015, he overtook his rivals, thanks especially to a strong anti-Trump stance. Since the billionaire's return to office in January, the show has once again become a pressure valve for the Democratic base, who delight in Colbert's relentless barbs.

Gap and Béis unveil travel collaboration
Gap has partnered with lifestyle brand Béis, founded by actress and entrepreneur Shay Mitchell, on a limited-edition travel collection launching August 1. The collaboration merges Gap's iconic American essentials with Béis's function-forward design ethos, offering a 25-piece capsule of apparel, luggage, and travel bags. The luggage and bags come in a limited-edition blue inspired by Gap's iconic denim, while the apparel is offered in a range of Béis's signature colorways including beige, black and the cult-favorite Berry Pink. Retailing from $8 to $378, highlights include a convertible jumpsuit, a hoodie with a built-in inflatable neck pillow, and Béis's best-selling Carry-On Roller. The collection's Weekender Bag and Travel Backpack are equally tailored for function, offering features like compression panels, wide openings, padded laptop compartments, and separate storage zones. 'Béis is built on functional and accessible design. Partnering with Gap let us bring Béis-ics to more people than ever,' said Mitchell. 'I've been wearing Gap since I was a kid, so designing a collection that allows you to express your personal style while on the go feels like a full circle moment. This line is for anyone who wants to look good, feel good, and travel in style.' The collection launches with a campaign featuring a 75-second film, 'Go Big. Don't Go Home.,' shot by Bjorn Iooss and directed by Andrew B. Myers. The creative vision comes from Mitchell and her partner Matte Babel, who also appear in the video alongside their children, Atlas and Rome. 'As a brand known for iconic essentials, we knew a collection designed to showcase your personal style wherever life takes you would resonate deeply with our customers,' added Mark Breitbard, president and CEO of Gap brand. 'Béis has built a powerful brand with a highly engaged community, driven by Shay's authentic connection to her audience. Gap × Béis delivers a modern take on versatile travel wear, brought to life through a digitally led campaign that reflects the built-in memories of traveling with a family.'
