One of this year’s buzziest NYFW events will grant everyone front-row runway access, so it’s time to channel your inner Anna Wintour.
Thanks to a partnership between the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) and Rockefeller Center, there will be a public screen for consumer audiences for the first time located in the attraction’s Rink. Though the glamorous occasion has long been considered one of the best things to do in NYC in September, not everyone has been fortunate enough to snag a ticket. Now, all fashion enthusiasts can enjoy the elegant affair.
How to watch New York Fashion Week 2024
From September 6 to September 11, the Rink at Rockfeller Center will host free livestreams and recorded runway shows of American collections that will debut at New York Fashion Week 2024. According to a press release, this is the only physical or digital centralized hub in the city that makes these shows accessible. If we didn’t know any better, we’d say you need a new outfit for the occasion. (Allow our guide to the best shopping in NYC to provide a bit of inspo.)
New York Fashion Week is a cultural cornerstone of the city and should be celebrated by all,” said Steven Kolb, CFDA CEO.
He continued, “As the official organizer of NYFW, CFDA is thrilled to be working with Rockefeller Center to stream the fashion shows to the public, giving New Yorkers and visitors a front-row seat to the creativity and innovation of American fashion.”
This isn’t the first time this year Rockefeller Center has decided to turn into watch party central. (Perhaps you stopped by its Ultimate Olympics Hub earlier this summer.) However, if you’re not Midtown-bound in the near future, you can also catch some of the best looks from the shows through NYFW’s website, right from the comfort of your couch. Prepare for dazzling pieces from designers like Proenza Schouler, Phillip Lim, Rachel Comey, and many more.
Happy Fashion Week, Friends! Let’s get our glam on.
