ew York, NY) – New York City is shifting into Fashion Week mode once again, as New York Fashion Week (NYFW) is set for February 11–16, 2026, drawing designers, models, buyers, editors, celebrities, influencers, and global brands to Manhattan, for one of the fashion industry’s most influential weeks.
According to the official CFDA calendar, the week shapes the pace of runway shows while energizing the wider NYFW ecosystem of showroom visits, brand activations, and events unfolding across multiple neighborhoods.
Beyond the runway, NYFW’s impact is visible across the city. Fashion Week drives hair and makeup artists, production teams, photographers, stylists, venues, and the hospitality industry, an annual reminder that New York’s fashion identity is supported by a vast creative workforce behind the scenes, helping make fashion week successful.
NYFW 2026 also reflects the industry’s evolving expectations around values and standards. The CFDA has announced that beginning in September 2026, animal fur will no longer be permitted in collections listed on the Official NYFW Schedule, giving designers time to adjust ahead of the change.
As the countdown continues, New York is preparing to do what it does best: convert energy into culture, sidewalks into street-style runways, and a packed week of shows into an international moment, setting the tone not only for the upcoming season, but for the global fashion conversation that follows.
