Not all that long ago, people were ready to declare New York Fashion Week dead. Designers fled overseas, others opted out entirely, and TikTok was quick to call it the “influencer” Olympics. But if last season hinted at a revival, Fall/Winter 2024 confirmed it: New York is, once again, the place for ready-to-wear. Paris may have couture, but New York sets the tone for the streets.
This New York Fashion Week season delivered on the hype: Calvin Klein’s long-awaited return and stalwarts like Michael Kors and Tory Burch proved why they remain American icons. There was also fresh energy from rising names like Collina Strada and LeBlanc Studios, each shaping what’s next — not just on the line sheet, but in life.
