Brandon Maxwell will formally kick off the American collections on Thursday, February 6, and CFDA chairman Thom Browne will close the week on Tuesday, February 11, 2025.

First-time additions to the official NYFW schedule include Alexis Bittar, Gabe Gordon, Leblancstudios by Yamil Arbaje and Angelo Beato, Vettese, and Zoe Gustavia Anna Whalen. At the GQ Bowl, a livestream red carpet event taking place in New Orleans, GQ and Emily Adams Bode Aujla will debut the Bode Rec. Spring 2025 collection alongside a musical performance, featuring men’s and women’s looks worn by models, athletes, and special guests.

In an effort to build meaningful relationships between renowned international stakeholders in 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 sixth season, the CFDA NYFW Travel Fund has proudly supported nearly 44 international editors to date with financial and in-kind support made possible through brand contributions and strategic partnerships.

“NYFW serves as the premier opportunity for designers and brands to tell their story and share their work in the ways that speak to their communities and business needs. This upcoming season represents themes we see across the industry: calibration and innovation,” said Joseph Maglieri, CFDA’s director of Fashion Week Initiatives. “It reminds us of the importance of brand sovereignty and stamina, and the significance of remaining authentic to where they are now in order to plan for where they want to be in the future.”

Since acquiring the Fashion Calendar in October 2014, the CFDA has served as the sole organizer of the Official NYFW Schedule. Originally founded in 1945 by publisher Ruth Finley, the now-digital Fashion Calendar serves as the foremost year-round events scheduling and planning tool for fashion designers, press, retailers, public relation firms, and the industry at large.
