Written by: Meghana | Photography by: Chamcee Blackwell | ColorMeCham

Before my planned debut at New York Fashion Week in February 2025, I put together this guide to the Fall/Winter shows, designers and schedule. The week has since passed, so the dates and timings below are a historical record of the programme shared at the time, not a current event guide.

New York Fashion Week takes place twice a year in New York City, where designers present collections for upcoming seasons. This archive focuses on the Fall/Winter 2025 programme and the designers listed in the schedule when this guide was published.

NYFW is a biannual week-long event taking place in the vibrant City of New York. It is a time for designers to showcase their new collections for the upcoming fashion season, connect with like minded creative individuals, and inspire themselves for future endeavours. As there is no “official” fashion week host, there are many different producers and venues ready to put on a good show. Here are some of the top productions:

Sustainability at Fashion Week
