New York Fashion Week
Every February and September, Manhattan hosts a series of activities known as New York Fashion Week (NYFW). One of the four major fashion weeks in the world, it typically lasts 7-9 days and features the presentation of international fashion collections to buyers, journalists, and the general public. The present idea of a centralised “New York Fashion Week” was developed by the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) in 1993 and is based on a far older calendar of activities known as “Press Week,” which was established in 1943.
The CFDA maintains a consolidated calendar of citywide activities, and in 2016, it was calculated that New York Fashion Week had an annual economic impact on New York City of US$887 million.
