The New York Fashion Week Spring 2025 Schedule Is Out: Here’s What You Need to Know

Summer is at its peak right now, which means it’s time to start thinking about the September shows. The spring 2025 New York Fashion Week schedule may be small, but it’s chock-full of surprises.

The week will officially kick off on Friday, September 6th at 1pm with Area, which is currently celebrating its 10th anniversary. It’ll be a big day for the city, with Collina Strada and Willy Chavarria also holding shows on opening day. They’ll be joined by Pieter Mulier, who opted out of Alaïa’s usual off-calendar slot adjacent to the Paris couture season in favor of an off-calendar show here in the Big Apple. The Belgian designer is no stranger to the city, having spent a few years here alongside Raf Simons during the Calvin Klein 205W39NYC era. Last month, he told Vogue:

“New York has a very special significance to me. It’s the city of resilience. And resilience is the feeding ground for creativity. My time in New York has not only shaped my artistic vision but has become an integral part of who I am. It’s where Alaïa’s story intersects with the heartbeat of the world. New York isn’t just a destination; it’s a homecoming, a celebration of the past, present, and future of Alaïa.”

Alaïa is not the only European brand jumping the Atlantic this season; Ib Kamara’s second outing as the official creative director for Off-White will take place on Sunday, September 8 at noon, while Ronald van der Kemp will be showing his fall 2024 couture collection on Wednesday, September 11 at 11am, and after a stop in Paris, Stockholm’s Elin Kling and Karl Lindman of Toteme will be holding their show on Tuesday, September 10 at 10am. Campillo, the Mexican brand helmed by Patricio Campillo, who was recently named an LVMH Prize finalist, will also be holding its first fashion show in the city on Saturday, September 7 at 9am. Who Decides War is back on the official schedule, showing on Saturday, September 7 at 1pm, as is Rio Sport, Rio Uribe’s newly-christened brand, which is showing on Wednesday, September 11 at 1pm.

The week will feature a large contingent of this year’s CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalists—Kate Barton, Grace Ling, Jane Wade, and Wiederhoeft are back on the schedule, while 5000’s Taylor Thompson, Sebastien Ami, and Presley Oldham are making their debuts. Melitta Baumeister, the winner of last year’s CVFF, will be closing NYFW with her first-ever fashion show taking place on the 11th at 5pm.

A few big designers are missing from the schedule this season, including Altuzarra, Helmut Lang, Gabriela Hearst, Fforme, Proenza Schouler, and Ralph Lauren, but for the latter two it is simply because they are holding shows before the official week kicks off. Proenza Schouler will stage an intimate presentation on Wednesday, September 4, while Ralph Lauren will be taking guests to the Hamptons on Thursday, September 5.

We’ll be sure to keep you posted with any further changes taking place in the weeks ahead.

New York Fashion Week runs from Friday, September 6 to Wednesday, September 11.
