Why NYFW: Men’s didn’t last as a standalone event
For five seasons, the men’s week hosted about 65 designers during the months of January and July, including legacy brands like Tommy Hilfiger and Perry Ellis, as well as a crew of emerging designer names. But, less than three years after the first NYFW: Men’s event premiered in July of 2015, the event as its own fashion week platform has been narrowed down to a summer event. While NYFW: Men’s will return on its own in July, more than a full month before New York Fashion Week’s September shows, the January season has been reattached to the main New York Fashion Week schedule.
