New York Gets a Men's Fashion Week

It's official: After months of speculation, the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) confirmed that it will launch New York Fashion Week: Men's, a standalone event to showcase American menswear.

Similar to London Collections: Men, the New York shows will run over three days (so, technically not a whole "week"), starting on July 13, 2015 with the Spring 2016 collections.

"American menswear has never been stronger or more creative," said Steven Kolb, CEO of the CFDA. "There are many reasons the CFDA is launching New York Fashion Week: Men's. It gives the designers a business platform to show during their market dates and is an opportunity to demonstrate the collective talent of an important segment of our industry."

New York Fashion Week: Men's will feature a mix of runway shows, presentations and special events. Brands confirmed to participate next season include Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein Collection (formerly shown in Milan), Michael Kors, Rag & Bone, Public School, Billy Reid, Todd Snyder, Michael Bastian, Ovadia & Sons, Robert Geller, Duckie Brown, Patrik Ervell, Orley and Kent and Curwen, with more names expected to be confirmed.
