fashion weeks

Seasonal runway events

Fashion weeks are seasonal events where designers showcase upcoming clothing collections to buyers, press, and industry insiders.

The major fashion weeks—New York, London, Milan, and Paris—set trends and generate enormous media coverage.

They occur roughly twice yearly, presenting spring/summer and fall/winter collections: She's in Milan for fashion week.

The singular fashion week typically refers to a specific city's event.
