The Council of Fashion Designers of America has revealed a streaming partnership with Rockefeller Center to bring the American collections that show at this September’s NYFW to a public screen for consumer audiences for the first time.

A mixture of livestreams and recorded runway shows will be screened Sept. 6 through 11 exclusively at Rockefeller Center, with the viewing screen prominently located at The Rink. The partnership makes Rockefeller Center the only centralized hub — physical or digital — where the public will be able to view NYFW shows. All screenings will be free and open to the public.

New York designers such as Ralph Lauren, Michael Kors, Tory Burch, Tommy Hilf i g e r , Carolina Herrera, Coach, Khaite, Bach Mai, Proenza Schouler, Luar, Willy Chavarria and Ulla Johnson are among the runway shows confirmed to stream throughout the six-day event. Supplemental programming includes recent fashion shows from Thom Browne, Rick Owens, Todd Snyder, KidSuper and Amiri.

To mark the start of NYFW, a ribbon cutting ceremony will take place on Sept. 6 around 11:30 a.m. to 12 p.m., before the first show on the Official NYFW Schedule. (Area kicks off NYFW at 1 p.m.) In attendance will be CFDA chairman Thom Browne, Anna Wintour and Steven Kolb, among others.
