We’re a little over a month away from the next New York Fashion Week, and the CFDA, in partnership with IMG, has released the official schedule, which runs from September 9 to September 14. This season, designers will showcase their Spring/Summer 2023 collections, and according to the schedule, some of the designers that have historically hosted their fashion shows in Europe are migrating to NYFW – including Marni and Fendi. While the schedule is filled with immense talent, we’re most excited for all of the Black designers that will be presenting.
Ahead, discover when and which Black designers will be showing at NYFW.
