In an effort to build relationships between international press and media and the designer brands who show during the week, the CFDA NYFW
Travel Fund was established in 2022 to raise awareness of the importance of NYFW's cultural, artistic and economic impact. Now in its fourth season, the
CFDA NYFW Travel Fund has supported more than 30 international editors to date with financial and in-kind support made possible through brand contributions and strategic partnerships.
“For the upcoming season, we continue to build on New York Fashion Week's unique strengths, from new and emerging designers to established and international brands and diverse voices who are defining global fashion creativity,” said Steven Kolb, chief executive officer of the CFDA. “In addition, we are proud to continue and grow the CFDA NYFW Travel Fund, bringing more international editors to New York, allowing them to build meaningful relationships with American designers and supporting American fashion on a global basis.”
Since acquiring the Fashion Calendar in October 2014, the CFDA has served as the sole organizer of the Official NYFW Schedule.
As reported, IMG said last month that NYFW: The Shows has decided to leave Spring Studios as the official hub. It is heading to the Starrett-Lehigh Building, a 19-story building at 601 West 26th Street in Chelsea with High Line Nine serving as the official showroom space for NYFW (housing initiatives like the Black in
Fashion Council showroom presented by Rakuten).
