How to Attend New York Fashion Week

Twice a year, fashionistas, forward-thinking designers and fashion enthusiasts flock to New York for the long-awaited New York Fashion Week (NYFW). As an ever-evolving event, each year brings not only new trends, but also new events open to the public. Read more about it here. 

The Spring/Summer New York Fashion Week

NYFW will take place from September 6–14, 2019 across various venues in the city. Unfortunately, high-end designer and couture shows are industry- and press-only events. That doesn’t mean you get to miss out on all the action, though. First, if you can’t make it to NYC, most runway shows will be streamed live! Check back closer to the date for more details. If you do come to NYC, then you want to browse through the many events open to the public. While most of them are ticketed, prices are more affordable than you think.
