New York Fashion Week (NYFW), held in February and September of each year, is a semi-annual series of events in Manhattan typically spanning seven to nine days when international fashion collections are shown to buyers, the press, and the general public. It is one of four major fashion weeks in the world, collectively known as the "Big Four", along with those in Paris, London, and Milan.[1][2] The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) created the modern notion of a centralized "New York Fashion Week" in 1993, although cities like London were already using their city's name in conjunction with the words fashion week in the 1980s. NYFW is based on a much older series of events called "Press Week", founded in 1943.[3] On a global scale, most business and sales-oriented shows and some couture shows take place in New York City.
A centralized calendar of citywide events (including those affiliated with WME/IMG) is kept by the CFDA,[4] and was acquired from calendar founder Ruth Finley.[5] The annual economic impact of New York Fashion Week upon New York City was estimated at US$887 million in 2016.[6]
