The Complete Guide to Spring 2025 New York Fashion Week: What You Need to Know

While most of America is gearing up for the final long weekend of summer, we at Vogue Runway are diving into New York Fashion Week prep. This year, the festivities start early with Proenza Schouler and Ralph Lauren (the latter in Bridgehampton!) before the official kickoff on Friday, September 6, with the Fashion for Our Future March in Midtown. Organized by CFDA and Vogue in collaboration with the nonprofit I am a voter.®, the march will focus on voter registration and engagement throughout the week. The action then shifts into high gear with six days of shows from both international stars like Alaïa’s Pieter Mulier and Off-White’s Ib Kamara, as well as local favorites. Tommy Hilfiger will showcase on the MV John F. Kennedy, and Tory Burch will present at the Domino Sugar Refinery. Don’t miss out on the live-streamed top 40 shows at Rockefeller Center’s iconic rink, thanks to a CFDA partnership. See you there!

Alaïa’s fall 2024 ready-to-wear collection is set to be one of the hottest tickets, thanks to Pieter Mulier’s reputation and exclusive Parisian presentations. With A-listers like Miley Cyrus, Zendaya, and Taylor Swift among his fans, this show promises to be unforgettable.

Off-White’s stateside debut, a fashion week highlight, will bring fresh energy to the event.

The Power of Sydney Sweeney’s Inner Circle: Staying Grounded Despite Fame

Despite her rising fame, Sydney Sweeney remains grounded, thanks to her close-knit circle of childhood friends. In a recent interview with Cosmopolitan, the 26-year-old "Euphoria" star shared that while some of her friends work in the industry, most do not, allowing her to stay connected to reality. She emphasized how spending time at her lake house in Northern Idaho with these lifelong friends helps her return to her roots and stay humble. Sweeney’s parents moved to Los Angeles when she was 13 to support her acting career, but her deep connections from before fame continue to keep her grounded.

Stuff we're loving this week

💪 Supplement: So many protein powders, so little time to try them all. We're currently loving Eggylicious Whole Egg Protein. Every body is different, so being able to customize your own protein blend down to the flavor is pretty clutch.

🚿 Next level self-care: Consider starting the day with this ultra-luxurious body wash.
