CFDA & Spotify Team Up For First Ever Official NYFW Playlist

September 7, 2023

New York Fashion Week is back, and to kick things off, we have teamed up with Spotify to celebrate the season with a first-of-its-kind partnership. Today, the CFDA and Spotify are unveiling the first-ever Official Playlist of New York Fashion Week, exclusively on Spotify.

The collaboration celebrates the vibrant creative community in New York City at the intersection of fashion and music, and includes contributions from Khaite, Mara Hoffman, Edvin Thompson, Alice + Olivia, and Carolina Herrera, along with tracks that have inspired designers like ET OCHS, Kim Shui, and STAUD.

“There’s something special about the relationship between music and fashion that comes to life every year during Fashion Week. Whether it’s inspiring collections or soundtracking runway walks, music is the backdrop for so many of fashion’s biggest moments—and we have over 630,000 fashion-related playlists on Spotify to prove it,” said Dustee Jenkins, Chief Public Affairs Officer, Spotify. “That feels especially true here in New York, where fashion is the second-largest industry and where Spotify has its largest global office. We’re so excited to bring all of this magic together in our Official Playlist of New York Fashion Week.”

As an extra bonus, New Yorkers will be able to easily listen along to what’s inspiring the runway with Spotify’s out-of-home billboard in Times Square going live on Friday, September 9th. Throughout NYFW, the billboard will feature a QR code driving to the playlist.

Explore the playlist, exclusively on Spotify, here.
