September is the biggest month on the sartorial set’s calendar during autumn, with fashion weeks running back-to-back in New York, London, Paris and Milan.

The pandemic means that shows will take place on a smaller scale this year, and some attendees will have to wear masks. But the event is just as busy as ever.

Proceedings kicked off earlier this week with New York Fashion Week 2021 starting on Wednesday 8 September. Here’s everything you need to know about the iconic biannual event:

New York Fashion Week is already in full swing and will run for a total of five days until Sunday 12 September.

This year's three main venues are located in downtown Manhattan: Spring Studios, Highline Stages, and 160 Varick Street. he September shows will be the first to take place in-person following the all-virtual edition of NYFW that happened in February due to Covid-19.

With the Met Gala taking place on Monday 13 September to coincide with the end of New York Fashion Week, there are plenty of A-listers in the city attending this week’s shows.

So far, celebrity attendees have included Lea Michelle at DUNCAN NY, Ciara at Dundas, Katie Holmes at Christian Siriano and Camila Mendes at Collina Strada.

Carolina Herrera, Michael Kors, Coach and Tom Ford are just some of the highlights on this year’s schedule. Here’s the main line-up of shows:
