"There are two types of shows during New York Fashion Week: 1. The official shows that happen within the venues. 2. The "shows" that happen on the street. Ninety percent of the people get dressed up, hoping to get photographed by a popular publication such as Vogue or WWD. Street style happens as guests make their way in and out of a brand's/designer's show."
"We decided to check out Coach's, Michael Kors', and Marc Jacobs' street style scenes because these brands generate a lot of action. There were easily at least 50 photographers and a bunch of influencers and celebrities. It can get pretty hectic since everyone wants to get the perfect shot. It's part of the atmosphere we had to deal with. Please, see below for some of the shots we took."
"We received a few backstage passes during New York Fashion Week. Backstage during fashion week is very stressful! The room is packed with media, models, hairstylists, stylists, and make-up artists. There is definitely an art to getting prepared for a fashion show. There are cameras in the models' faces, and interviews are going on all at the same time. The craziness keeps going until the show starts."
New York Fashion Week occurs twice a year and draws influencers, celebrities, editors, photographers, and fashion enthusiasts from around the world to view upcoming designer collections. The event is part of The Big Four fashion weeks that include New York, London, Milan, and Paris, and the next New York dates are February 12–17, 2026. Street style provides a parallel spectacle as most attendees dress to be photographed outside venues, leading to crowded sidewalks and intense photographer, influencer, and celebrity activity around high-profile brands like Coach, Michael Kors, and Marc Jacobs. Backstage access reveals a hectic, tightly coordinated environment with media, models, hairstylists, stylists, and makeup artists working under pressure until showtime.
