With New York Fashion Week upon us, the stars are descending on our city. Three of them—supermodel Anok Yai and international music artists Young Miko and Peso Pluma—represent the CFDA as official ambassadors for the second edition of NYFW Live at Rockefeller Center.

From Thursday, September 11 through Tuesday, September 16, Rockefeller Center will be the only destination – physical or digital – where the public can watch NYFW shows with the support of presenting partner Genesys. Screenings will take place at the iconic Rink and Channel Gardens.

Our CFDA ambassadors champion American fashion and define style in their own unique ways. They walk catwalks and perform on stages all throughout the world, all while being leaders in their industries. Get to know them below.

Anok Yai

Anok Yai is a South Sudanese-born American supermodel. Born in Egypt, her family fled Sudan and settled in the U.S., where she studied biochemistry before her modeling career took off. Yai has since walked for brands like Ralph Lauren, Prada, Louis Vuitton, and Versace and appeared on the cover of American Vogue. She has also been recognized with awards, becoming a prominent figure and a symbol of Black beauty and representation in the fashion industry.

“Me opening for one of the top fashion houses is a statement to the world — especially for Black women — that their beauty is something that deserves to be celebrated,” she said in an interview for Vogue.

Young Miko

Young Miko is a Puerto Rican rapper, singer, and songwriter who began her career in 2021 with the single “105 Freestyle,” and released her debut EP “Trap Kitty” in 2022. Known for her genre-bending style incorporating Latin trap, reggaeton, and hip-hop, she gained significant recognition through viral hits like “Riri” and “Lisa,” and collaborations with artists such as Katseye, Feid and Bad Bunny. Before music, she worked as a tattoo artist and played soccer, and her music often blends elements of anime, urban music, and her own queer identity.

Peso Pluma

Hailing from Guadalajara, Mexico, Peso Pluma is a trailblazing artist known for his unique style and genuine approach. With over 45 million monthly Spotify listeners, he’s made history as the first artist to dominate both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global 200 Excl. U.S. simultaneously with two different songs. His album “GÉNESIS” broke streaming records, earning him his first Grammy win for Best Música Mexicana Album in 2024. Plus, he became the first Mexican to ever perform at the VMAs, where he performed his hit song “Lady Gaga,” the first person to sing corridos at the 2024 EMAs, and the first Mexican artist to appear on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon – twice.

Earlier this year, Peso Pluma made his NYFW debut in Thom Browne’s front row, wearing the brand. His global appeal has earned him collaborations with stars like Karol G, Kali Uchis, Cardi B, Quavo, Becky G and more that have further propelled his career. Peso Pluma is a musical powerhouse and a cultural icon, turned music mogul with his own label, Double P Records, in partnership with George Prajin. Peso Pluma shows the next generation of artists that a musician’s superpower is remaining true to themselves.
