FAQ
Everything you need toknow
When do fashion weeks typically take place?
Fashion weeks occur twice yearly in major fashion capitals. Spring/Summer collections are shown in September/October, while Fall/Winter collections are presented in February/March. New York typically starts the circuit, followed by London, Milan, and Paris.
How long does each fashion week last?
Most fashion weeks run for approximately 5-9 days, depending on the city and number of shows scheduled. Paris Fashion Week is typically the longest at 9-10 days, while smaller fashion weeks may concentrate their shows into 4-5 days.
What's the difference between Haute Couture and Ready-to-Wear?
Haute Couture shows in Paris (January and July) feature one-of-a-kind, handmade pieces for private clients. Ready-to-Wear shows present collections that will be available in stores, occurring during the main fashion weeks in September/October and February/March.
How can I attend fashion week events?
Fashion week shows are primarily industry events requiring invitations from brands or organizers. Industry professionals typically receive invitations, but many fashion weeks now offer public events, exhibitions, and live streams for wider accessibility.
Why are collections shown six months in advance?
The six-month lead time allows buyers to place orders, manufacturers to produce garments, magazines to plan editorial content, and retailers to prepare merchandising strategies. This ensures collections arrive in stores at the appropriate season.
What are presentations versus runway shows?
Runway shows are traditional catwalk events where models walk to showcase collections in motion. Presentations are static displays where models pose in curated environments, allowing guests to examine details at their own pace.
