New York Fashion Week has evolved significantly since its inception in 1943, when Eleanor Lambert established “Press Week” to showcase American designers during World War II. Today, NYFW is headquartered at the Starrett-Lehigh Building after relocating from Spring Studios, with satellite events across Manhattan and Brooklyn. Moreover, the Fashion Week schedule now includes a mix of in-person runway shows, digital presentations, and hybrid formats that cater to both industry professionals and fashion enthusiasts.
While NYFW remains primarily an industry event, Fashion Week Online® offers exclusive discount access to select shows and events:
London Fashion Week, established in 1984, is organized by the British Fashion Council and has historically championed avant-garde design and emerging talent. In recent years, LFW has pioneered digital innovation and sustainability initiatives, leading the way for eco-conscious fashion presentation formats.

Milan Fashion Week, established in 1958 and organized by Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana, is renowned for showcasing Italy’s celebrated heritage luxury brands alongside new Italian design talent. MFW typically focuses on refined craftsmanship and sophisticated ready-to-wear collections that exemplify Italian fashion excellence.
The fashion events in Paris represent the pinnacle of the global fashion circuit. The official events organized by the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode showcase the world’s premier designers, while numerous independent presentations occur throughout the city during the same period. Beyond the official shows, Paris transforms during fashion season — the entire city seems to collectively elevate its style, with impromptu street style photoshoots on rain-slicked cobblestones and heated fashion debates overheard at historic cafés. The shows themselves range from grandiose productions at the Grand Palais to intimate presentations in hidden courtyards, creating a fashion experience that transcends the runway.
Access to fashion events in Paris includes various opportunities:

Haute Couture represents the highest level of fashion craftsmanship, with garments created entirely by hand using exceptional materials and techniques. To be designated as “haute couture,” a fashion house must meet strict criteria established by the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture.

“There’s something in the Parisian air during fashion season that you can’t bottle. It’s like the entire city collectively decides to dress better. The venues themselves tell stories — from historic churches where the acoustics make every heel-click echo dramatically to ultra-modern spaces that seem to have been built from architects’ fever dreams.”
“Fashion shows can be strange experiences. You’ll wait outside for 45 minutes (regardless of weather), then be hurried to your seat for a show that lasts precisely 11 minutes. The music might be so loud you feel it in your chest. But these quirks are part of the charm! The atmosphere crackles with anticipation, judgment, admiration, and occasional disdain.”
— Fashion Week Online® Editor
Fashion weeks continue to evolve in response to industry changes. In recent years, we’ve observed key transformations including:
Additionally, many designers now choose to show off-calendar or create hybrid formats that blend physical presentations with digital content, expanding the traditional fashion week experience.
The global fashion calendar includes dozens of fashion weeks annually. The “Big Four” (New York, London, Milan, Paris) each host two main ready-to-wear seasons yearly (Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter), plus additional shows for men’s collections, haute couture, resort, and pre-fall. Beyond these, there are numerous regional fashion weeks worldwide, totaling over 100 distinct fashion week events annually.
The six-month lead time between runway presentations and retail availability serves several critical industry functions: it allows buyers to place orders, manufacturers to produce the collections at scale, magazines and media to plan editorial content, and retailers to develop marketing strategies before the collections reach consumers.
Attending a fashion show is an immersive sensory experience that extends beyond what you see in photos or videos. You’ll typically wait outside the venue (regardless of weather) before being ushered to your seat for a show that often lasts just 10-15 minutes. The venue itself becomes part of the experience — whether it’s a historic Parisian church where every heel-click echoes dramatically or an ultra-modern space that seems designed from an architect’s fever dream. The atmosphere crackles with anticipation as music (sometimes deafeningly loud) signals the start of the show. While certain shows remain invitation-only, many Fashion Weeks now include public-accessible showcases that offer authentic fashion experiences without requiring industry connections.
Official calendar shows are sanctioned by the principal fashion organization of each city (like the CFDA in New York or the FHCM in Paris) and follow their established schedule and guidelines. Independent showcases are produced outside this official framework but coincide with fashion week timing to leverage industry presence. Both can feature established and emerging designers, though ticketed access is more common for independent events.
Fashion week dates are established by each city’s principal fashion organization, typically announced 6-12 months in advance. These organizations (CFDA, British Fashion Council, Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana, and FHCM) coordinate with one another to ensure the sequential progression of the “Big Four” weeks, allowing industry professionals to travel from one fashion capital to the next.
“Fashion Week Online’s schedule page was my bible during Paris fashion shows. The comprehensive listings helped me plan my entire week, and their discounted tickets saved me significantly on the independent showcases I attended.”
— Sophie L., Fashion Editor, Paris
