For some people, September has different meanings. Back-to-school season is associated with the ninth month of the year by educators and kids, and pumpkin spiced everything makes proud *basic* people all misty-eyed. However, for fashionistas, the beginning of September just signifies the start of New York Fashion Week and, in a broader sense, Fashion Month.

ICYDK, runway shows and presentations take place every September and February as part of Fashion Month. Designers traditionally present their Spring-Summer (SS) collections for the future season at Fashion Month in September, while the upcoming Autumn-Winter (AW) trends are teased during Fashion Month in February. Of course, not every brand makes their presentations during this period, and a few designers opt to forgo this predetermined plan. Furthermore, there are Bridal Market Weeks, Swim Weeks, and Couture Fashion Weeks taking place all over the world, which effectively means that someone, somewhere, is always walking down a catwalk wearing something stunning.

Even though some trends may carry over from one season to the next (for example, plaid is in style every fall and florals are a definite in the spring), we are confident that this September will bring new, exciting interpretations of our favourite wardrobe essentials that we must have as soon as possible.
We’re breaking down the information on the shows that we know about so you can keep track of who’s presenting and when, even though not every company is listed on the CFDA’s official NYFW schedule. However, anyone who wants to watch a live broadcast of a show or see highlights as soon as they’re released can visit a label’s social media pages or website at the stated day and time. Unfortunately, tickets are required for in-person admission.

The Fendi design business will hold a special presentation in NYC to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Fendi Baguette bag, even though it typically displays in Milan.

Marni is another company moving from Milan to New York. On this day, you’ll also want to keep an eye out for brands that excel at what they do, including Sergio Hudson for sharp suits, Prabal Gurung for fashion-forward cultural statements, and PatBO for unique cutouts.

Designs like the voluminous Carolina Herrera gowns or the sparkling, translucent LaQuan Smith dresses are so gorgeous, they almost make you sick to your stomach to look at them. The Emmys are taking place at the same time as the runway show later in the day, so you might want to take a break from watching the runway.
