New York, NY – New York Men’s Day (NYMD), the premiere NYC-based platform exclusively dedicated to emerging men’s and genderless talent, is now accepting applications for the upcoming kick-off to spring/summer 2027 NYFW, slated for September 2026. The event, celebrating its 26th season, will showcase designs from some of the most exciting up-and-coming designers in the industry.
Conceived to nurture emerging talent and to consolidate top menswear/genderless designers in an easy-to-view venue, NYMD features 8-12 designers collectively. Each participating designer presents in an individual studio space designed to highlight the label’s identity and inspiration. Taking place simultaneously over two-hour periods, 8-12 brands present for the entire day, with four to six designers in the morning session, and four to six in the late afternoon. This format creates ease-of-flow for media, buyers, influencers, and VIPs, allowing them to move through studios and spend time with designers.
NYMD draws a diverse and influential large audience, including menswear fashion industry insiders, buyers, stylists, and editors. Selected designers receive extensive media coverage, get a chance to meet and showcase their work to potential buyers, and gain an opportunity to network with industry professionals. NYMD covers 85% of the presentation costs for each chosen designer.
