Hence if you’re targeting a mainstream show during NYFW September 2025, plan at least a few hundred dollars; ambitious front-row or VIP access may cost far more.

Although the official NYFW schedule shows many major brands, it has been reported that Ralph Lauren opted for a private showing at his studio in New York on September 10, 2025 (just before the official opening) rather than a traditional runway in the main calendar.
