Fashion Calendar Research Database (FCRD)

Today marks the beginning of NYFW and the start of the global fashion month circuit for the Spring/Summer 2027 fashion season. For decades, Eleanor Lambert, who organized the original Press Week and helped establish the @cfda hosted a luncheon for local and international press, and the fashion community to kickoff each season. The Council of Fashion Designers of America has continued that tradition by hosting @cfda NYFW kickoff events, which today signals that the market week is in full swing.
