As COVID-19 forces fashion calendars around the world to shift, trade show organizer Informa Markets announced new dates for several of its New York City-based events.
The July men’s show Project New York, scheduled for July 19-21, will move to September 22-24 alongside Coterie, Moda, Fame and Children’s Club, which are also shifting dates from August 2-4.
This allows attendees to visit one place for Spring/Summer 2021 men’s, women’s, children’s and accessories. NY Women, scheduled for Aug. 2-4, is cancelled to accommodate this new all-in-one concept. The September shows will take place at the Jacob Javits Center, which is currently serving as a temporary field hospital for coronavirus patients.
Liberty Fairs and Man NYC are also joining Informa in this endeavor by postponing their July events to September however, they have not named exact dates or locations at this time.
This decision is especially significant for the men’s market, said Nan Walsh, president, fashion at Informa Markets, as the sector has made the united decision to move all shows to September in New York, thus allowing the industry to come together in a unified way.
