We’ve spent the past 17 months wondering not just when New York Fashion Week would resume, but if it’d ever feel the same. A cursory glance at the CFDA’s official spring 2022 calendar suggests its comeback will be worth the wait. Set for September 8th through the 12th, the jam-packed week of physical shows and events begins with Ulla Johnson and ends with Tom Ford, with a diverse mix of 91 establishment and indie names in between, from Tory Burch, Michael Kors Collection, Oscar de la Renta, and Carolina Herrera to Eckhaus Latta, Vaquera, Puppets and Puppets, and Maisie Wilen. (Realistically, we’ll be covering New York collections before and after the official dates, too; Collina Strada, Christian Siriano, and Harlem’s Fashion Row are already confirmed for September 7th.
There are a few exciting surprises, too: Moschino’s Jeremy Scott and Peter Dundas are trading their usual Milan and Paris shows for guest slots at NYFW, and New York designers that we haven’t seen on the calendar in some time are confirmed to show, including Telfar, Altuzarra, Thom Browne, and Maryam Nassir Zadeh. There’s a good chance many designers will be working overtime to finish their spring collections and prepare looks for the Met Gala, which will take place (in a smaller, more intimate capacity) immediately after NYFW on Monday, September 13th.
New York has a high vaccination rate and relaxed COVID restrictions (for the moment), but there’s still a lot we don’t know about the shows: Will international editors and buyers be able to travel here in September? How many guests will be permitted at the venues? Will we need to wear masks and bring our vaccination cards? We’ll be gathering more intel in the coming weeks. Until then, browse the schedule on their official website.
