“New York Fashion Week is an integral part of New York City’s vibrant culture and sense of constant evolution and discovery,” said Steven Kolb, chief executive officer of the CFDA. “This season’s official New York Fashion Week schedule plays to this sentiment and will once again showcase the best of American fashion, both emerging and established. We’re excited to see the return of Ralph Lauren, Jonathan Cohen and 3.1 Phillip Lim to the the New York runway, adding to the week’s energy.”
