“New York Fashion Week this season returns with creative force and zeal,” said Joseph Maglieri, CFDA’s Senior Director of Fashion Week Initiatives, via a release. “As our country celebrates its 250th anniversary, this season represents what makes New York Fashion Week special: its spirit of independence. Our designers carve out their own artistic identity marked by grit, individuality, and resourcefulness. Across emerging designers and heritage brands, the attention on NYFW and American fashion is grounded in embracing who we are without trying, or wanting, to emulate any other city.”
