Meet the designers who will debut at New York Fashion Week this season

New York Fashion Week is almost here, and while the six-day fashion extravaganza will feature industry icons like Tory Burch, Khaite, and Michael Kors, as usual, spring 2025 will also see a slew of new brands to keep an eye on.

Established brands like Off-White and Toteme are making their official runway debuts in the U.S., as are Michael Fausto and Salon 1884. Two emerging Finnish brands—Vain and Vitunleija—are also notable debutants at NYFW, hosted by the Consul General of Finland. CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalist Sebastien Ami and LVMH Prize semifinalist Campillo are also names to watch.

Check out which designers will debut at NYFW this season.
