fashion preview

Designer collection debut

A fashion preview is an advance showing of clothing designs, typically before a new collection becomes available to the public.

Designers, brands, and fashion houses host these events—often called runway shows or presentations—to give buyers, journalists, and industry insiders an early look at upcoming trends.

The September fashion preview featured bold colors and oversized silhouettes.

The term also applies to media coverage or editorial spreads that showcase forthcoming styles.
