Over 100 designers and brands are presenting at multiple events across the city

New York Fashion Week has returned to the Big Apple.

According to the Council of Fashion Designers of America, 109 designers and brands are presenting during the industry’s biannual global event that’s currently underway.

As one of the most watched fashion events in history, it’s not surprising that

New York Fashion Week is able to generate an economic boom for the Empire State.

While that’s not surprising since it is one of the most watched fashion events in history—what is surprising is how big of a boom it creates for the Empire State. In recent years, the event has brought in $887 million dollars annually.

The fashion industry came to a screeching halt as did many other business sectors during the global pandemic. For many designers like Charles and Ron—of Malta’s leading fashion house—they are finally back in New York to present their Spring/Summer 2023 runway show.

“Obviously very exciting for us because it had been more than two-and-a-half years since we were in New York obviously due to the pandemic, so it was extra special to be back,” says Ron Van Maarschalkerweerd Borg.

“All of our collections are always inspired by Malta and the Mediterranean—we’re based in Malta—and we always draw inspirations for our surroundings.”

The military operation followed a month of U.S. military buildup, ignited by President Trump’s commitment to support Iranian protesters who demonstrated against the regime in January.

The President consistently warned Iran could face military action if it continued its nuclear program. Vice President JD Vance stated that Iran’s responses in two negotiation rounds failed to meet U.S. expectations.

Escalating Tensions

Iranian officials cautioned that any attack would provoke retaliation, warning that even minor strikes could escalate into a full-scale regional war.

The nation has prepared for conflict by mobilising its forces, reinforcing its nuclear facilities, decentralising decision-making, and tightening internal security measures.
