The People's Runway will take place at 8 pm on Sunday, September 14 outside Brooklyn Borough Hall Plaza as part of CFDA 2025 New York Fashion Week. The showcase will feature work from five emerging Brooklyn designers and is open to the public on a first-come, first-served basis with standing-room only and ADA accommodations. Doors open at 7:15 pm. Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso and Arts Ambassador Colm Dillane of KidSuper organized the event to spotlight designers who use garments to convey family and neighborhood experiences. Sign-ups and updates are available via the borough website.
Across Brooklyn, emerging fashion designers are designing as a way of storytelling, creating garments that encapsulate the experiences of their families and their neighborhoods. I am so grateful for the opportunity to spotlight a few of these incredible creatives here at the People's House, Brooklyn Borough Hall. Thank you to Colm Dillane, our inaugural Arts Ambassador, for bringing his industry expertise to up-and-coming artists across the borough.
As someone who has created his brand from Brooklyn, received mentorship from other organizations, and worked with many different brands along the way, I think I have a great perspective on what can really help a young creative in NYC. I believe this runway experience is more powerful than the participants even realize. I am looking forward to seeing what they make and what comes from this!
