The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) has released its schedule for New York Fashion Week, featuring 60 designers who are lined up to present their spring 2021 collections digitally.

CFDA will focus on its Runway360 digital platform, which allows brands the flexibility to show their collections in a variety of formats, such as look books, videos, movies, livestreams of fashion shows, and at a time that works for them. The platform has been developed to engage domestic and International press, consumers and retailers, most of whom are unable to travel to New York during this time.

NYFW will kick off on September 13 with Jason Wu, who will host live fashion show for an audience of 25 to 30 people for his contemporary collection on the roof of Spring Studios that will be streamed. It will be followed by Harlem Fashion Row’s virtual fashion experience featuring several designers of color, such as Kimberly Goldson, Kristian Loren and Rich Fresh.

Among the returning women’s designers and brands participating are Alabama Chanin, Alice + Olivia, Anna Sui, Badgley Mischka, Bibhu Mohapatra, Carolina Herrera, Chromat, Claudia Li, Dennis Basso, Eckhaus Latta, Jonathan Simkhai, LaQuan Smith, Marchesa and Marchesa Notte, Naeem Khan, Nicole Miller, Veronica Beard, and Zero + Maria Cornejo. Fifteen are new to the schedule, including Aknvas, Anne Klein, Colleen Allen, Our Doux, Duncan, Frère, Imitation of Christ, Oak & Acorn, Venicew, Wiederhoeft, and Wolk Morais.
