This year the New York Fashion Week will be held beginning on February 10, 2023. The showcase items will continue for five days ending the Fashion week on February 15, 2023.

The Origin Of New York Fashion Week

Every February and September, Manhattan hosts a series of events known as New York Fashion Week (NYFW). One of the four primary fashion weeks in the world is held there. Eleanor Lambert established New York Fashion Week in 1943. The New York Dress Institute, the first advertising agency for the American fashion industry, was run by Eleanor Lamber.

Press Week was the original name of the first official fashion week ever held. To divert attention from French fashion during World War II, it was invented. At that time, professionals in the fashion industry couldn’t fly to Paris to attend French fashion shows. Additionally, it was intended to highlight American designers for fashion journalists who had disregarded American fashion.

After the success of Press Week, American fashion was increasingly featured in Vogue and other fashion magazines that were typically dominated by French designs. The occasion became known as “Press Week of New York” by the middle of the 1950s. The 16th Annual Press Week of New York took place in the spring of 1951 (held in February 1951).

Spring Studios, located at 50 Varick Street in Lower Manhattan, serves as the main venue for their Fashion Weeks. Typically, accreditation is required for entry to shows during This particular Fashion Week, and certain events are invitation-only. Usually, it’s other designers, famous people, and social media influencers.
