CFDA Releases February Show Schedule: Where’s Ralph?

The Council of Fashion Designers of America has released its official schedule for New York Fashion Week, and there are some key omissions among big-name designers: Ralph Lauren is not on the schedule, nor is Tommy Hilfiger.
A spokesman for Ralph Lauren Corp. said the company hasn’t released its plans yet for its spring 2020 show. A Tommy Hilfiger spokeswoman said the company would be releasing its show location in the new year. Hilfiger has been moving from city to city for its shows in recent years, touching down in such cities as Los Angeles, Paris, Milan, New York and London.
Meantime, Tom Ford, chairman of the CFDA, is listed on the New York Fashion Week schedule on Feb. 7 — but his show is in L.A.
Other L.A.-based designers, such as Jonathan Simkhai and Rodarte, plan to show in New York on Feb. 10 at 11 a.m., and Feb. 11 at 6 p.m., respectively.
NYFW kicks off the evening of Feb. 7 with a 6 p.m. show by Monse, and ends on Feb. 12 with a 6 p.m. show by Marc Jacobs.
The schedule has many of the regulars such as Nicole Miller, Jason Wu, Brandon Maxwell, Proenza Schouler, Anna Sui, 3.1 Phillip Lim,
