Since acquiring the Fashion Calendar in October 2014, the CFDA has served as the sole organizer of the Official NYFW Schedule. Originally founded in 1945 by publisher Ruth Finley, the now-digital Fashion Calendar serves as the foremost year-round events scheduling and planning tool for fashion designers, press, retailers, public relation firms, and the industry at large. 
 
Starting in 2022, the CFDA created an NYFW Travel Fund to raise awareness of the importance of NYFW’s cultural, artistic, and economic impact. Now in its sixth season, the fund has supported nearly 44 international editors to date with financial and in-kind support made possible through brand contributions and strategic partnerships. 
 
“NYFW serves as the premier opportunity for designers and brands to tell their story and share their work in the ways that speak to their communities and business needs. This upcoming season represents themes we see across the industry: calibration and innovation,” Joseph Maglieri, CFDA’s Director of Fashion Week Initiatives, said.
 
The CFDA is a not-for-profit trade association founded in 1962 with a membership of more than 350 of America’s foremost womenswear, menswear, jewelry, and accessory designers.
