NEW YORK MEN’S DAY IS ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR SS26
New York Men’s Day (NYMD) is now accepting applications for spring 2026NYFW, slated for September 2025. The event, celebrating its 24th season, will showcase designs from some of the industry’s most up-and-coming designers.
Conceived to nurture emerging talent and to consolidate top menswear/genderless designers in an easy-to-view venue, NYMD has featured 6-12 designers collectively. Each participating designer presents in an individual studio space designed to highlight the label’s identity and inspiration. Taking place simultaneously over two-hour periods, 6-12 brands will present for the entire day, three to six designers in the morning session, and three to six in the late afternoon. The format of showcasing all presentations at the same time creates ease-of-flow for media, buyers, influencers, and VIPs, allowing them to move through studios and spend time with designers.
NYMD draws a diverse and influential audience, including fashion industry insiders, buyers, stylists, and editors. Designers who are selected to participate in the event will receive extensive media coverage, a chance to meet and showcase their work to potential buyers, and an opportunity to network with industry professionals. NYMD covers 85% of presentation costs for each chosen designer.
The New York Men’s Day committee for this season include stylist Memsor Kamarake, Editor-in-Chief of Complex Media Aria Hughes, Editor-in-Chief of Grazia USA Joseph Errico, and Nordstrom’s Men’s Fashion and Editorial Director Jian DeLeon.
