REVOLVE GALLERY: REVOLVE Gallery is a multi-room exhibition featuring REVOLVE's top emerging and established brands and designers, the most photo-worthy moments, brand experiences, and guest takeaways from their sponsors. The free RSVPs typically become live 2-3 weeks prior to NYFW and sell out almost immediately. If you’re looking for a great opportunity for photo-ops and shopping, you’ll definitely want to attend REVOLVE GALLERY.
Black In Fashion Council Discovery Showrooms: Founded by Lindsay Peoples Wagner and Sandrine Charles the Black In Fashion Council (BIFC) is a resilient group of editors, models, stylists, media executives, assistants, freelance creatives, and industry stakeholders that aims to build a new foundation for inclusivity.

Since September 2020, BIFC has partnered with IMG to present the BIFC Discovery Showrooms. Giving an opportunity to small Black-owned brands to have an opportunity to showcase their collections during NYFW. As of September 2022, the showrooms are still taking place on the 5th floor of Spring Studios. All you will need to do is head over to Spring Studios and inform the front desk that you are here to see the BIFC Discovery Showrooms and they will let you into the building.
Spring Studios Events: Every season Spring Studios has different partnerships that provide a variety of opportunities for people within the buildings to engage with. From Tresemmé to Pinterest to Nestle, to VISA, and much more, the interactive portion of Spring Studios is a great space to grab content, coffee and even get something to eat.
UPS x NYFW: In 2022, UPS launched their first street wear collection at NYFW. With their commitments to equity, social justice, and supporting small diverse business owners, all proceeds from UPS’s first NYFW line Be Unstoppable were donated to “In The Blk”, a non-profit dedicated to uplifting small Black fashion brands. Additionally they gave $50K in grants to support these businesses.
In September 2022, UPS is making a return to NYFW at La Bodega Baque, a curated Bodega experience celebrating the Latinx community and enternapuers! In addition to this event, all profits from their SS23 collection and an additional $50,000 in grants will go to support a scholarship program for the next generation of Latinx fashion designers and entrepreneurs at the High School for Fashion Industries.
