Now in its fifth season, the CFDA NYFW Travel Fund has proudly supported nearly 40 international editors to date with financial and in-kind support made possible through brand contributions and strategic partnerships.

“NYFW remains the home base for showcasing the best of American fashion. This season boasts a powerful lineup of established and emerging brands experimenting with forward-thinking ways of presenting their collections. The CFDA is taking additional action to strengthen an already robust week, addressing calls for improvements across logistics and strategy to benefit both brands and attendees. We are proud of the September schedule, which represents the designers, brand leaders, communications and media teams, show producers, casting directors, and more who make the week a reality,” Joseph Maglieri, Director of Fashion Week Initiatives, CFDA, said.
