The CFDA is aligned with the formation of KFN, a new company created by KF Fashion (a division of Kilburn Media) and N4XT Experiences, set to introduce an event platform at New York Fashion Week.

As the official organizer of NYFW and owner of the Fashion Calendar – including the Official NYFW Schedule – the CFDA remains dedicated to fostering innovation and providing designers with opportunities to thrive. Through a multi-year engagement with KFN, the CFDA will support efforts to strengthen NYFW’s infrastructure and create new avenues for American designers to showcase their work.

“KFN’s vision aligns with our commitment to advancing NYFW as a global platform for American fashion,” said CFDA CEO Steven Kolb. “We look forward to working together to drive innovation and new possibilities for designers.”

KFN’s inaugural initiative, launching in September 2025, will focus on developing physical and digital experiences that expand the reach and impact of NYFW. The CFDA remains at the core of New York Fashion Week, organizing the official calendar of designers and ensuring continued support for the industry’s growth.
