Frequently Asked Questions About NYFW Schedules

How often is the NYFW schedule updated?

Our NYFW schedule is updated multiple times daily during the weeks leading up to fashion week. During fashion week itself, we provide real-time updates as schedule changes occur, including time adjustments, venue changes, and last-minute additions.

Why are some shows listed as “by invitation only”?

Many NYFW runway shows are restricted to industry professionals, media, buyers, and VIP clients. However, Fashion Week Online® provides exclusive access to select shows through our ticketing platform, allowing fashion enthusiasts to experience presentations that would otherwise be inaccessible.

How can I find shows from specific designers?

Our interactive schedule includes a search function that allows you to filter by designer name. Simply enter the designer you’re looking for in the search field, and all matching results will be displayed. You can also browse alphabetically or by show date.

What’s the difference between digital and physical shows?

Physical shows are traditional runway presentations held at venues with live audiences. Digital shows are pre-recorded or live-streamed presentations without in-person attendance. Our schedule clearly indicates which format each presentation will use, with many designers now opting for hybrid approaches that combine both elements.
