Attending a New York Fashion show

To attend exclusive shows, you will need an official invitation. Usually the press, designers, celebrities and influencers get an invitation to these fashion shows and the trendiest New Yorkers will be there. It’s extremely difficult to get invited to such shows.

While the industry shows are invitation-only, there are also many New York fashion shows open to the public. So it is possible to get up close and personal with NYFW. Some smaller and up-and-coming designers open their doors to everyone, allowing every fashion lover to see the latest creations and newest trends with their own eyes. You can secure your spot at a show by buying tickets to the New York Fashion Week in advance.

Eric’s Tip: “If you’re doubting about the daytime or evening session, go for the evening session. Going to a fashion show is all about experiencing the New York Fashion Week, and during the evening this comes even more to life. The term fashionably late is the case here. Be on time for the show, but also plan some extra time in your schedule in case the show runs longer.”

What is New York Fashion Week?

New York City Fashion Week takes place all over the city, and everywhere you can see fashionable people dressed to impress. In particular, TriBeCa and Chelsea host many shows. It’s fun to walk around in the area and see the unique outfits worn by all the guests.

The first fashion week in New York took place in 1943, when it was still called Press Week. The aim was to draw attention away from French fashion, to which the fashion industry had no access because of the war. It was also meant to give American designers a stage, which they succeeded in doing. NYFW is now one of the most famous fashion events in the world.
