It’s official: NYFW is coming to the People’s House!

Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso and Arts Ambassador Colm Dillane, the creative force behind cultural brand KidSuper, are proud to announce The People’s Runway, a fashion show to take place outside at Brooklyn Borough Hall Plaza as part of the Council of Fashion Designers of America’s (CFDA) 2025 New York Fashion Week. 

The People’s Runway will take place at 8pm on Sunday, September 14, and will feature work from five emerging Brooklyn designers. Doors will open at 7:15pm. The event is open to the public, first-come first-served, and standing room only. ADA accommodations will be available.

After releasing an open call for emerging designers earlier this year, Reynoso and Dillane reviewed hundreds of applications and selected five Brooklyn-based designers to receive mentorship from Dillane and show their work at The People’s Runway.

The People’s Runway  is made possible with the support of partners Brooklyn Arts Council, Fashion Week Brooklyn, Chemistry Creative, City Point, AOFM, Unite, Brooklyn Brewery, and Voss.
