What to know about New York Fashion Week 2020 (September)? A review

This year's NYFW (New York Fashion Show) held in September did not reach the height of its predecessors. Still, it gifted us with a lot of beautiful designs and designers. 

Every year, New York Fashion Week (NYFW) gives us some of the best collections, looks, and more. This year was no exception either. Despite all the restrictions, NYFW managed to do what it does best, inspire people. The event was held both virtually and live, however, the number of attendees was reduced significantly due to COVID protocols. 

It was held between September 13 and September 17, each day filled with tons of events and entertainment. The overall fashion show reviews in New York for it were positive. A lot of brands and their owners attended the show, either in-person or digitally. These are:

Despite some big and some new names that appeared on the show, some big brands were missing. These designers instead chose to launch their collections digitally and privately. These are: 

Tommy Hilfiger 

Michael Kors 

Marc Jacobs 

Gabriela Hearst 

Oscar de la Renta 

Proenza Schouler 

Tory Burch

Jason Woo and Rebecca Minkoff hosted live shows in limited physical viewership. These were live streamed too, and thousands of people around the world watched models walk on the catwalk wearing those designs. A new platform was introduced earlier this year, Runway 360. This AR (Augmented Reality)/ VR (Virtual Reality) platform has features like 360-degree viewing capacity. Using this technology, designers can organize fashion shows, live streams, press conferences, etc. Brands, media personalities, and consumers can make use of this technical feature.  

On 13th September, Harlem's Fashion show hosted the 13th Annual Style Awards. The main hosts of this event were Kimberly Goldson, Kristian Loren, and Rich Fresh. This was made publicly available on September 19th, with lots of behind-the-scene actions, and Q&A's. Designer of the Year award was awarded to Kerby jean-Raymond (from Pyer Moss). 

Some other notable changes were also made, with a focus on gender-fluid and menswear designers. 10 of them were noticed during this event, which is a preview of the fashion industry's changing dynamics and preferences. These designers are mentioned below: 

Apotts 

Carter Young

David Hart 

Future Lovers of Tomorrow 

Ka Wa Key 

Official Rebrand 

Stan 

Teddy Vonranson 

Timo Weiland 

Wataru Tominaga 

Of course, the NYFW was not as grand as it could have been due to obvious reasons. But still, it received positive fashion show reviews in New York and the rest of the world. We have to take a look at this year's top looks and designs in the next article. Until then, take care and stay in the know.
