6 New York Fashion Week Hotel Events You Should Know About

See recent posts by Melissa Kravitz

New York Fashion Week is upon us. Starting September 8, editors, designers, stylists, models, bloggers, and photographers will spend a week showing off and scrutinizing the spring/summer 2017 collections. No longer confined to a massive tent at Lincoln Center, the nine-day extravaganza is strewn about town. And while the NYFW shows and presentations are off-limits to anyone without an official invite, the entire city celebrates with parties, giveaways, and more. Here are six hotels hosting shindigs that everyone can enjoy.  


1. W New York Downtown's Walk-In Closet


Fashion influencer Roxanne Hauldren of Shop with Rox has curated a top-notch shopping experience at the W New York Downtown. In addition to browsing looks from local vendors like Floss Gloss, Angela Roi, Bandits Swimwear, Lukka Lux, Tangerine NYC, and Erica M., guests will be treated to complimentary Ciroc mango cocktails and a free hair styling bar by Beautini. If you’re not in it for the freebies, stop by for the 360-degree views of downtown Manhattan. Find more details here.
