NEW YORK—The spring/summer 2023 iteration of New York Fashion Week (NYFW): The Shows took place Sept. 9-14 this year and lived up to its reputation for being the Big Apple’s most fashionable week. As per usual, there was no shortage of trend-setting runway shows, star-studded parties, and over-the-top to-dos during the six-day fashion-forward extravaganza.
And coming off of a virtual- and hybrid-heavy two years of events (in 2020, livestreamed shows were de rigueur and in 2021, Metaverse Fashion Week strutted to the forefront), this year’s NYFW—which was organized by global sports, events, and talent management company IMG—boomed with events and activations.
This year, according to the official Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) calendar, more than 100 designers presented collections. Household names included Christian Siriano, who put on a timeless presentation in Elizabeth Taylor’s former midtown Manhattan townhouse; Omar Salam, the designer behind SUKEINA; Tommy Hilfiger, who leveled up his namesake’s NYFW presentation with the help of Web3; and so many more.
In addition, brands that don’t even sell clothing flocked to the U.S. fashion capital to get in on the action. FOX, for example, launched a retail pop-up to promote the country music drama series MONARCH, which debuted on the network on Sept. 11, and Kiehl’s took advantage of NYFW’s buzz to launch its newly renovated flagship store in the East Village.
NYFW’s action-packed programming is seemingly impossible to keep a pulse on (we get it!), so BizBash rounded up the top 15 to-dos that caught our eye…
