Clockwise from Top. NYFW September 2020. The CFDA released the schedule for September’s New York Fashion Week, which was notable for the lack of the usual shows. As Vanessa Friedman noted, many designers associated with NYFW will not be showing: Marc Jacobs, Ralph Lauren, Pyer Moss, Michael Kors, Oscar de la Renta, Proenza Schouler, Telfar and The Row are all not on the schedule. NYFW has been shrinking for years, and with Raf Simons gone from Calvin Klein and now helming Prada, combined with the recent decimation of the American fashion industry, it’s not surprising to see the September shows shrink. Many of the “shows” will really be digital activations: Tom Ford, Collina Strada, Carolina Herrera, Sandy Liang and Eckhaus Latta will all be doing digital presentations. The biggest runway show looks to be Jason Wu, though it’s unclear what attendance will look like. The decision for Wu to have a full runway show was likely influenced by his collaboration with Lowe’s, a significant sponsor of this September’s NYFW.
