New York Fashion Week had two distinct chapters in 2024: Fall/Winter 2024 collections in February and Spring/Summer 2025 collections in September. There is no official ranking of the “best” looks, so this is a curated edit of notable collections and emerging-designer ideas, with runway work kept separate from front-row celebrity style.
What “New York Fashion Week 2024” includes
The calendar-year label covers two seasons, not one: February’s shows presented Fall/Winter 2024, while the September edition presented Spring/Summer 2025. September ran from September 6 through September 11. The CFDA’s preliminary official schedule listed more than 60 confirmed runway shows and designer presentations, alongside additional digital and appointment presentations. That is a schedule count, not a measure of audience, influence, or trend adoption. CFDA’s September 2024 schedule
“Best” is a matter of editorial judgment. The selections below draw on named editors’ assessments and the CFDA’s collection descriptions; they are not a definitive or consensus ranking.
February: Fall/Winter 2024 runway highlights
Vogue Runway editor Nicole Phelps’s February roundup offers one useful editorial lens. She praised Thom Browne for wedding “couture magnificence with real-world wearability,” and described Tory Burch and Joseph Altuzarra’s milestone collections as reinventions rather than conventional retrospectives. Her response to Marc Jacobs’s collection was that it felt “playful” and “rich with emotional resonance.” These are Phelps’s judgments, not an objective ranking of the season.

#1 Best Overall
- Read Before You Buy — No Video Output: These adapters support charging and USB 2.0 data transfer, but cannot transmit video signals. Except for standard USB webcams (which use USB data only), they are not compatible with HDMI/DisplayPort cables, video-capable USB-C hubs, or docking stations with video output.

- Aluminum Alloy Housing: Built with a sturdy aluminum alloy shell that aids in heat dissipation and protects against daily wear and scratches. Designed to maintain a stable and secure connection.
- Compact & Travel-Friendly: The ultra-compact design allows the adapter to stay plugged into your device without blocking adjacent ports or adding bulk, reducing wear and tear on your original USB ports.
- 12-Month Warranty: Backed by a 12-month manufacturer warranty for peace of mind. Designed to meet strict quality control standards for reliable everyday performance.
Thom Browne: couture scale, real-world wearability
Phelps’s description points to a tension that made the collection memorable: grand, couture-minded presentation balanced against clothes she saw as wearable. That combination—not a claim about any single garment’s construction—is the supported takeaway from her review.
Tory Burch and Joseph Altuzarra: milestone collections as reinvention
Rather than treating anniversaries as an excuse for a “best-of” parade, Phelps highlighted both designers’ efforts to move their work forward. Her assessment makes reinvention the shared point of comparison, without suggesting that the two collections looked alike.

Marc Jacobs: playful, emotionally resonant
Phelps singled out the collection’s playfulness and emotional charge. Those words convey her response to the show; they should not be mistaken for a measurable season-wide trend.

Kate Barton: sculptural shape and bold texture
The CFDA described Barton’s Spring/Summer 2025 work through sculptural dresses, bold textures, and vivid colors. The combination makes silhouette and surface the useful points to notice; the description does not establish that any particular runway look is available to buy.

Jane Wade: power dressing meets athletic references
Wade’s collection, titled “The Audit,” reworked the visual language of power suits and athletic wear. The CFDA also noted a Jane Wade x Nike runway partnership. That is a collection collaboration, not evidence that a specific runway outfit was released for retail.
5000: punk history as a point of departure
The CFDA connected 5000’s collection to the punk history of Mabuhay Gardens. The reference gives the work a specific cultural context rather than reducing it to a generic “punk” look.

Grace Ling: tailoring, knitwear, and surrealist metal sculpture
Ling paired tailoring and knitwear with surrealist metal sculptures, according to the CFDA. The contrast between clothing and sculptural objects is central to the described presentation. The CFDA also identified a Grace Ling x Humane collaboration.
Other collaborations in the September season
Alongside Kate Barton x Goldfish and Jane Wade x Nike, the CFDA noted Zankov x Selima Optique. These partnerships help explain the season’s collaborative dimension; they do not confirm availability, pricing, or a retail launch for any runway piece. See the CFDA’s finalist collection descriptions

In a season retrospective, the CFDA’s panel discussed venue decentralization, collaborations, celebrity runway appearances, activism, and sizing representation. These were observations raised in the discussion, not quantified findings about how common each practice was across all shows. Fashion writer Jalil Johnson described the mood as one of optimism and hope in the collections. That is his attributed impression, not a measured consensus. CFDA’s September season trend discussion
Front-row celebrity style is a separate story
Celebrity attendance can add another perspective on New York Fashion Week, but a front-row outfit is not a runway collection look. British Vogue’s February gallery identifies attendees and the shows they attended, including Beyoncé at Luar and guests at Thom Browne, Michael Kors, Gabriela Hearst, and Tory Burch. The gallery’s attendance information alone should not be used to attribute a specific garment or styling detail where its caption or image does not support it.

Quick Recap
How to read the highlights
- Check the season label: February 2024 means Fall/Winter 2024; September 2024 means Spring/Summer 2025.
- Distinguish an editor’s assessment from a designer’s stated concept or a CFDA panel observation.
- Keep runway images and front-row photographs clearly labeled; they show different kinds of fashion-week style.
- Do not assume a runway look or collaboration is currently sold in stores. The cited sources describe collections and partnerships, not present-day product availability.
Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date/time indicated and are subject to change. Any price and availability information displayed on Amazon at the time of purchase will apply.
