Selkie runway show8/17/2023 If you follow the LA creative and music scene, odds are you’ve heard of Shane Gonzales, at 27, a true multi-hyphenate whose skills include designing, DJing, and artistic direction. With brands like Gucci also putting disability inclusion at the forefront, how long until the rest of the industry follows suit? We’ll be watching.- Laia Garcia-Furtado Los Angeles Calling “Matching custom-made velvet pants have two layers-a comfortable L-shaped base and an interchangeable cover that goes on top.” On September 12, the Runway of Dreams Foundation will return to NYFW for its seventh year, and will feature adaptive fashion from Tommy Hilfiger, Target, and Zappos, among others. “I added an invisible zipper down the back of the jacket for easier dressing, and stretch panels at the elbows to accommodate bending,” Saieh explained. Andrea Saieh, an Open Style Lab 2022 Fellow, whose work will be featured in the show, adapted a purple velvet suit for author Shane Burcaw, who has SMA and uses a power wheelchair. The Double Take fashion show on September 8 is the result of a collaboration between Open Style Lab, an organization dedicated to creating functional, wearable solutions for people of all abilities, the American biotech company Genentech, and the spinal muscular atrophy community. This season, two events will aim to turn the tide. Although it’s now almost the norm to see models of diverse races, bodies, and gender presentations on the runway, one community that remains underrepresented is people with disabilities. In the past few years, the fashion industry has made strides towards inclusiveness. “With the Marni family, we’re in New York to celebrate the pulse of the city and to try to catch the sublimity of a moment of pause-like a sunset and a sunrise.”- Nicole Phelps Fashion for All (No, Really) “Being in New York means to me the world, as I have lived and I am living the most memorable moments of my life here,” Risso said this weekend. The following night, Marni’s Francesco Risso is staging another one of his happenings with his collaborators Babak Radboy and Dev Hynes in Brooklyn. If Fendi’s recent runways are any indication, we might be seeing a few bonafide It girls in the crowd, and on the runway. Kim Jones and Silvia Venturini Fendi are coming to town to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the label’s iconic Baguette bag-the one every would-be It girl in America wanted after its starring role in a Sex and the City episode. First up at the Hammerstein Ballroom on September 9 is Fendi. New York Fashion Week will be more international than ever, with not one, but two major Italian houses bringing collections to the Big Apple. See you at the shows! The Italians Are Coming! Find out how to buy a ticket here or watch the livestream on and the Vogue Runway app. And don’t miss Vogue World on September 12! The first-of-its-kind runway show and street fair will feature looks from Balenciaga, Dior, Gucci, Valentino, Burberry, and a host of New York designers. We’re particularly pleased to see Narciso Rodriguez’s name back in the mix-for sure we’ll be shopping his new collection at Zara. Newcomers and returning labels have caught our attention too. What are we looking out for here at Vogue Runway? Fendi and Marni are sure to make waves, but they aren’t the only out-of-towners on the schedule. New York Fashion Week is back with a jam-packed schedule featuring over 100 brands showing across five and a half days-that’s half-a-day longer than last season! There will be traditional runways, appointment-only viewings, “immersive experiences,” and enough dinners to almost make up for two pandemic years of barely going out.
