This year, there are plenty of milestones and anniversaries for designers to celebrate—and those special occasions just so happen to coincide with the spring 2027 season, which runs from September 9 through Oct 6. Coach kicked things off with a glittering runway show to fete its 85th anniversary on Wednesday; after creative director Stuart Vevers took a bow, a huge after party unfolded behind him, replete with a light-up dance floor, disco ball, and towers of shrimp cocktail. Carolina Herrera rang in 45 years; as did Tibi, who toasted to 30; and both Libertine and Rachel Comey have 25 years behind them. Montblanc, for its part, celebrated a century of leather goods with a starry event at Crane Club one day before the official beginning of the season. Bulgari, on September 9, hosted a different kind of party—this time, celebrating the newest iteration of the Serpenti Infinito collection. Dua Lipa stopped by, as did Blackpink’s Lisa and Hudson Williams. And Boucheron got things started early that same night, when the classic jewelry brand had an intimate dinner to benefit the Central Park Conservancy and toast the launch of its new Lierre de Paris creations. A crush of stars including Colman Domingo, Paul Anthony Kelly, Leslie Bibb and many more could be found at the candlelit tables. As the galas, ragers, and late-night events happe during fashion month, check back here often for the latest party pics.
Tiffany & Co. and the Musée des Arts Décoratifs celebrated a new partnership on September 28 with a party held in the museum’s Christine and Stephen A. Schwarzman Fashion Galleries.
Dedicated to preserving the creative legacy of designer Jean Schlumberger, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs will undertake a four-year program to conserve, restore, and digitize more than 5,000 original drawings and 5,000 archival documents related to Schlumberger’s work. On Monday, to kick off the partnership, the museum displayed 100 of these original drawings and materials alongside a selection of related jewels.
Anya Taylor-Joy, Greta Lee, and Amanda Seyfried were among the guests who perused the presentation before sitting down for an intimate dinner. Of course, they were all adorned in Schlumberger designs, specifically pieces from the Bird on a Rock collection, inspired by the designer’s iconic 1965 brooch.

On Saturday, Conner Ives co-hosted an after party with Jimmy Choo to celebrate his NYFW debut runway show, “Across the Pond.” The London designer invited guests including Troye Sivan, True Whitaker (pictured here), Anok Yai, Lila Moss, Paloma Elsesser, Moses Sumney, and many more to enjoy tequila and caviar at People’s, the invite-only club in Greenwich Village.
Alexa Chung was one of the attendees dancing the night away to DJ sets by Lynette Nylander, Hunter Pifer, and Miss Queenie.

KPop Demon Hunters star EJAE matched the store’s colorful decor in a pink floral dress, while Morrone went simple in a form-fitting black number—better to show off her Swarovski jewels.
Swarovski-adorned actors Kelly and Arnaud chatted before they were treated to a DJ set by Lourdes Leon, who, of course, was also dripping in crystals.
On the final night of New York Fashion Week, September 15, the hosts of the wildly popular podcast, How Long Gone, Chris Black and Jason Stewart, held their inaugural awards show, The Goneies, at Racket in Chelsea. Although Black and Stewart have toured the podcast internationally since they launched it in March 2020, The Goneies marks the very first time the duo is handing out trophies to their favorite cultural tastemakers. Categories include Ally of the Year “For the Gay Guy Who’s Rockin With Us the Most,” (the winner? John Early) and Best Dressed, which went to Mark Ronson, pictured here.

Capping off the night were performances from Blondshell, Nirosta Steel, and J Mascis. Well done, gentlemen.
The Euphoria Signature Elixir was in the air on Friday, September 11, as Calvin Klein celebrated the launch of its new fragrance with a party at People’s in Greenwich Village.
Guests gathered at the bar following the Calvin Klein runway show held earlier in the day. They sipped on cocktails inspired by the fragrance while enjoying a DJ set from Kitty Ca$h and Huneycut.
Rosalía stopped by in a custom Calvin Klein Collection look and was joined by Owen Thiele, Natalia Bryant, and other friends of the brand.
Thursday, September 10, was packed full of fashion week events. It seemed like every major brand was handing out an invite, and editors, models, designers, and celebrities bounced around the city to stop by as many as possible (and avoid missing out). Up first, there was the Net-a-Porter cocktail event at chef Thomas Straker’s first New York restaurant, Straker’s.
The new SoHo haunt hosted VIPs, talent, press, and friends of the brand for a night celebrating women in the fashion industry. Cindy Crawford, Serena Williams, and Katie Holmes were in attendance, getting a sneak peek of Straker’s before its official opening later this month.
Mia Moretti DJ’ed while Furious star Emmy Rossum, Willy Chavarria, and Christopher John Rogers enjoyed the new Porter September issue starring Crawford. And when they left to head off to the next event, guests were gifted a copy of the magazine, along with T-shirts boasting the slogan, “You Are Incredible.”

In the West Village, at the Julian Schnabel-designed building Palazzo Chupi, Acne Studios threw a packed-out party to celebrate its newest store in the Meatpacking District on September 10. 070 Shake, pictured here, gave an intimate performance in one of the apartment’s many art-filled rooms for guests (there was a rumor going around that a Picasso piece was hanging where the bar had been set up).
Troye Sivan stopped for a photo in the library, where attendees posed on a Baroque chaise longue, holding their cocktails precariously while the shooters snapped away. Florian Krewer, Eartheater, Yaeji, Foushée, Jemima Kirke, Ego Nwodim, and many more were seen at the event.

Alexa Chung, Grace Gummer, and Emily Ratajkowski were among the guests who enjoyed a performance by Justin Vivian Bond. The cabaret star staged an homage to the founder of Cherry Lane, Edna St. Vincent Millay, while dressed in an archival piece by Paul Poiret.
The Dior Cigale bag was a popular accessory for guests, while Gummer—who attended in a gray wool top with lace details—toted the Toujours Hobo. Chung, meanwhile, paired a ribbed tank with the Bow clutch.

Back in SoHo, Marc Jacobs and WYouth contributor Romy Mars snapped photos outside Sartiano’s, where the designer hosted a party celebrating the long-awaited return of the Marc Jacobs Beauty brand. Naturally, there were lots of colorful and cute makeup and fragrance products dispersed throughout the restaurant for guests like Patrick Ta, Dixie D’Amelio, and Manny Gutierrez to test out.
Finally, there was the Coco Mademoiselle Crush Absolu party, celebrating the launch of Chanel’s new fragrance and corresponding campaign. Paloma Elsesser, Iris Law, Charlotte Lawrence, and more guests gathered at Balthazar, where an ambery, woody, vanilla scent filled the air.
DJ Kitty Ca$h commanded the DJ booth before indie Rock band Balu Brigada capped off the evening. Coco Jones, Justine Skye, and Imaan Hammam danced to the music while snacking on mini cheeseburgers and ramekins of baked macaroni and cheese.

On the Upper East Side on Wednesday, September 9, away from the hubbub of downtown, Nordstrom hosted an intimate event at Marcels. The evening was in honor of the store’s fall designer campaign and was hosted by photographer Ethan James Green, stylist Dara, and Nordstrom’s EVP of global brand partnerships, Yumi Shin.
The guest list, unsurprisingly, was filled with designers, including Emily Adams Bode Aujla of Bode, Ashlynn Park of Ashlyn, Zane Li of Li, Christopher John Rogers, Jason Wu, and more. All those in attendance got a chance to check out the store’s new campaign “Friends of Friends,” shot by Green, as well as Nordstrom’s new vertical, The Edit.
On September 9, Bulgari kicked off New York Fashion Week with a party at Boom at The Standard to celebrate the jewelry brand’s new Serpenti Infinito collection.

Domingo caught up with Lisa Rinna, who managed to elicit more than a few laughs from the Emmy-winning actor.
Jenna Lyons had her chicest, darkest shades on for eBay and the Council of Fashion Designers of America’s Endless Runway: The Archive party on September 9.

Lyons hosted a live auction from inside the exhibition, which put pieces by Calvin Klein Collection, Diane von Furstenburg, Michael Kors Collection, and more NYC-based brands on display. Here, Naomi Watts, Kai Schreiber, Coco Rocha, and Jenna Lyons mug for the cameras.
