A comprehensive rundown of the many designers of color showing at New York Fashion Week: Men’s

This season, New York Fashion Week: Men’s and NYFW: Women’s have come together for the greater good of fashion.

“As a result of the international fashion week schedule, NYFW: Men’s will abut the women’s schedule this February,” Mark Beckham, the vice president of marketing and events at the Council of Fashion Designers of America, which organizes NYFW, said in an email. “As a result, we combined the schedule for this one season.” As a result, starting Monday, menswear designers will show their collections, and then on Thursday, NYFW: Women’s begins and runs until Feb. 14.

Over the past few seasons, NYFW: Men’s has felt a tad overlooked. It’s not even quite a whole week of shows, and no huge headlines usually come out of the week. Plenty of outlets overlook the shows entirely. By connecting the two, it feels not only more efficient but a chance for men’s week to rub against the glitz of NYFW: Women’s, with Raf Simons, the creative director of Calvin Klein, closing out the menswear days.

This heightened attention serves NYFW: Men’s well this season, with a schedule packed with highly talented, savvy menswear designers that are innovative, interesting and, this season in particular, quite diverse. Ahead of this three-day men’s fashion extravaganza, here are the designers of color who are showing:
