Times Square Fashion Week 2026
Last Saturday 374 guests filled the Southampton Inn for Hamptons Fashion Week. The Manhattan bus sold out, the marketplace ran from noon to 4, and a CFDA designer headlined the runway. On Tuesday, September 15, the same team brings the show to the middle of Manhattan for the sixth annual Times Square Fashion Week.
One day on Father Duffy Square, 7th Ave and W 47th St, noon to 8 pm on the square, then the designer billboards at 9 and the after party to 11. The red carpet runway and the main stage sit on the square itself. VIP seating is at the front, general viewing runs along both sides, and there are two check in counters, a step and repeat, and production and backstage at the rear. The site is ADA accessible. Duffy Square is a public plaza, so the layout is subject to NYC DOT permitting, and if anything shifts we will post it here first.
Dee Rivera and DCG Media Group produce. Propel Earth is the co host.
