This year’s New York Fashion Week’s schedule has made place for the official American Collections Calendar 2021. It’s more than a schedule – it rather incorporates the entire calendar including all fashion events that you need to know about this year.

American Fashion Calendar
“While the CFDA will continue to encourage American designers to show in New York during New York Fashion Week, we recognize the need for some to broaden their global visibility. In the past few years, many of our members have chosen to show in Europe, Asia, and other key markets and in many cases off-calendar. The events of the past year have only highlighted the need for flexibility within the fashion system,” stated Tom Ford in his letter on the American Collections Calendar 2021. Now that shows don’t take place physically, shows and presentations don’t have to take place within the time frame of one single week. The absence of urge of showing simultaneously has reduced the pace of developing new collections. Therefore, some designers – like Michael Kors and Thom Browne – have decided not to show during New York Fashion Week. They chose a date that would suit them better.
Last year, we wrote about the future of New York Fashion Week and asked ourselves whether it would still exist in a couple of years. The CFDA – with Ford in the leading role – has critically thought about this question as well. “Wherever or however American designers choose to show their collections, it is our job as the CFDA to honor our original mission statement and to help promote and support American fashion. Therefore, we will publish on the schedule not only the schedule of designers showing in New York during New York Fashion Week but also those of American designers showing off calendar and abroad,” Ford elaborated.
