We’ve put together a list of some important dates for this year’s conferences and shows, along with brief descriptions of each event, to make planning a little easier. And although Fashion Dive is based in the U.S., the apparel business is global, so we’ve included the most important dates on the international fashion calendar as well.
Remember to check convention and show websites regularly, because details are subject to change.

While MAGIC stands for Men's Apparel Guild in California, this Informa-owned convention showcases menswear and womenswear as well as big box, boutique and e-commerce retailers. It’s one of the largest events of its kind in the U.S. The show runs concurrently with Project Las Vegas, which showcases a more edited assortment of contemporary men’s and women’s fashion, and Sourcing at MAGIC Las Vegas, which serves manufacturers, suppliers and service providers. MAGIC is also held in Miami, showcasing women’s brands; New York City; showcasing women’s brands; and Nashville.

Where: Spring Studios (official shows); other events citywide
Launched in 1943 by designer Eleanor Lambert, NYFW is, along with London, Milan and Paris, a mainstay on the international fashion calendar. While many trade events allow industry professionals to register and attend at will, the collection of events that comprise New York Fashion Week are largely invitation-only, and each show is organized by individual designers and managed by their respective PR firms. Additionally, many off-calendar runway shows and after parties take place at undisclosed or far-flung venues throughout the five boroughs. The Council of Fashion Designers of America posts the official NYFW calendar online shortly before the shows. In 2014, the organization purchased the Fashion Calendar from founder Ruth Finley, who began publishing it in 1945. It is currently a subscription-based service, and fees start at $395 per year. Additional private shows during NYFW are run by Art Hearts Fashion, and take place at the Angel Orensanz in downtown New York.
