U.S. Fashion Industry Events 2019

September 30, 2019
1. New York Fashion Week
1. New York Fashion Week
New York
This semi-annual event always attracts famous faces, but this year A-list celebrities like Jennifer Lopez and Rihanna took to the runways as models. Reimagining the traditional fashion show, designers used New York’s distinctive landscape to stage events in unexpected venues, like Tom Ford’s exhibition in a deserted subway station, Ralph Lauren’s one-night-only jazz club, and the Collina Strada show, which incorporated a farmers’ market to convey the brand’s commitment to sustainability. The fall shows made history on two fronts: Pierre Davis became the first openly transgender designer to show at New York Fashion Week, and childrenswear label Lulu et Gigi featured the event’s first double-amputee model: nine-year-old Daisy-May Demetre.

2. Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala
New York
With an exclusive guest list of 550 of the most famous names in Hollywood, fashion, music, and art, the Met Gala is one of the most coveted tickets of the year. In 2019, Lady Gaga, Alessandro Michele, Harry Styles, and Serena Williams joined Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour as co-chairs of the event that introduced the museum’s “Camp: Notes on Fashion” exhibition. The red carpet at this avant-garde event never disappoints, and this year was no exception, with notable looks like Naomi Campbell’s flamingo-esque Valentino gown, Katy Perry’s chandelier-inspired ensemble, and Gaga’s four wardrobe changes. The gala raised more than $15 million to support the Costume Institute. Next: May 4, 2020

3. Council of Fashion Designers of America Fashion Awards
New York
For the second straight year, the Council of Fashion Designers hosted its award ceremony at the Brooklyn Museum, where style-centric celebrities like Christian Siriano, Ashley Graham, Gigi Hadid, and Diane Kruger gathered to recognize outstanding contributions to American fashion. Honorees this year included Womenswear Designer of the Year Brandon Maxwell, Menswear Designer of the Year Rick Owens, and Jennifer Lopez, who accepted her Fashion Icon Award in a glittery, orange ensemble by Ralph Lauren Collection.
