The Fashion Week calendar is certainly not as jam-packed as it once was, but there is still a palpable buzz and excitement in the city that never sleeps now that New York Fashion Week has rolled around.

New York Fashion Week is back with a jam-packed schedule featuring over 100 brands showing across five and a half days—that’s half-a-day longer than last season! There will be traditional runways, appointment-only viewings, “immersive experiences,” and enough dinners to almost make up for two pandemic years of barely going out.

What are we looking out for here at Vogue Runway? Fendi and Marni are sure to make waves, but they aren’t the only out-of-towners on the schedule. Newcomers and returning labels have caught our attention too. We’re particularly pleased to see Narciso Rodriguez’s name back in the mix—for sure we’ll be shopping his new collection at Zara. And don’t miss Vogue World on September 12! The first-of-its-kind runway show and street fair will feature looks from Balenciaga, Dior, Gucci, Valentino, Burberry, and a host of New York designers. Find out how to buy a ticket here or watch the livestream on Vogue.com and the Vogue Runway app. See you at the shows!

While we’re already deep diving into the current season’s trends – and many designers are, in fact, opting for see-now-buy-now collections – it’s always exciting to look ahead at what’s to come.

The big news this NYFW is that Fendi and Marni are crossing oceans and showing in the city this season (it’s the baguette bag’s 25th anniversary!). Before anyone stresses about maxing out their credit card, we’re happy to report that the Narciso Rodriguez x Zara collaboration, which retails from $45.90 to $499, is launching today at Zara.com.

Speaking of affordability, Puma and COS will also be showing. We’ll of course be following it all – from high to low – and reporting back on all the need-to-know trends.

New York Fashion Week will be more international than ever, with not one, but two major Italian houses bringing collections to the Big Apple. First up at the Hammerstein Ballroom on September 9 is Fendi. Kim Jones and Silvia Venturini Fendi are coming to town to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the label’s iconic Baguette bag—the one every would-be It girl in America wanted after its starring role in a Sex and the City episode. If Fendi’s recent runways are any indication, we might be seeing a few bonafide It girls in the crowd, and on the runway. The following night, Marni’s Francesco Risso is staging another one of his happenings with his collaborators Babak Radboy and Dev Hynes in Brooklyn. “Being in New York means to me the world, as I have lived and I am living the most memorable moments of my life here,” Risso said this weekend. “With the Marni family, we’re in New York to celebrate.
