Due to the rise in COVID cases ahead of NYFW, all individuals entering a show venue must provide full course COVID-19 vaccination proof consistent with state and federal law. Masks must be worn indoors at all times, except in designated eating and drinking areas. Models will not be required to wear masks while walking the runway and there will be reduced guest capacity in show venues with appropriate spacing.
