New York Fashion Week's official September 2026 schedule opens Thursday, September 10, and runs through Tuesday, September 15, kicking off six days of Spring/Summer 2027 collections across roughly 70 runway shows and presentations on the CFDA's preliminary calendar. Ralph Lauren gets a jump on the week with a Spring 2027 presentation on Wednesday, September 9, one day ahead of the official opening.
The season's opening slot belongs to Diane von Furstenberg, where Henry Zankov will present his first collection as the house's new artistic director. Zankov, a CFDA member who previously worked with the label more than a decade ago, was named to the role in May 2026, making his September 10 show one of the week's most closely watched debuts. The week closes on the opposite end of the calendar with Thom Browne on September 15, a familiar bookend for a designer who has closed the season before.
