Harlem Fashion Week: We design clothes but make it culture

Don't let the “New York” in New York Fashion Week (NYFW) fool you. NYFW is a global affair. Taking place every September and October, people from all over the world descend on the Big Apple to take a huge fashion-filled bite. The main events take place at Spring Studios in Lower Manhattan with flocks of models, influencers, stylists, and media types also converging on SoHo, Tribeca, and, more recently, Harlem.
