IMG has recently revealed an incredibly exciting and diverse lineup of programming and events for the upcoming New York Fashion Week (NYFW). Scheduled to take place from September 8 to 13, NYFW: The Shows is set to be a grand extravaganza, with one standout event being a collaboration with renowned brand Rodarte. The brand plans to capture candid moments of their friends wearing pieces from their SS2024 collection on the bustling streets of New York City, creating vibrant and live content to commemorate NYFW. This unique project is expected to add a touch of creativity and spontaneity to the fashion festivities.
Another highly anticipated event is the 2023 Black Beauty Roster Excellence Luncheon, which will be hosted by the Black Beauty Roster. This platform strives to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion within the fashion, entertainment, and beauty industries. The luncheon, taking place on September 8 at Spring Place, aims to honor and celebrate the accomplishments of individuals who have made significant contributions to championing representation. Additionally, the Black Beauty Roster will launch the #TrendsAtNYFW series on Instagram, spotlighting the key beauty trends that emerge during NYFW.
Continuing their commitment to supporting emerging talents from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), UPS will once again collaborate with NYFW. Designers Undra Celeste New York, Chelsea Grays, and The Brand Label will showcase their unique talents and creativity in a fashion show during NYFW, putting a spotlight on the diversity within the fashion industry.
For food enthusiasts, NYFW: The Menu will make its highly anticipated debut this September. Twelve top-tier restaurants, including Hav & Mar, Temple Court at the Beekman, Jac’s on Bond, Fouquets, and Indochine, will participate in this culinary extravaganza. Each restaurant will offer a special menu item exclusively available during NYFW, presenting fashion enthusiasts with a one-of-a-kind dining experience.

This showroom will feature an array of talented designers, including Ciara Chyanne, Fumi The Label, KAPHILL, KHOI, Kílèntár, Korlekie, Tia Adeola, Lurelly, Onalaja, and Tejahn Burnett. It provides a platform for emerging designers to showcase their collections and gain exposure during NYFW, further promoting diversity and inclusivity within the fashion industry.
In addition to these incredible events, NYFW: The Talks will feature four thought-provoking discussions starting on September 10. These talks will cover a wide range of topics related to the fashion industry and will feature insights from industry experts and leaders. By offering attendees the opportunity to learn from the best, NYFW: The Talks aims to enrich the overall NYFW experience.
