To help inspire your trip to one of the “Big Four” fashion weeks in 2024, we’ve collated information about each event, from when they’re held to which airport you should land at by private jet.

What are the “Big Four” fashion weeks?

The “Big Four” fashion weeks are held in New York, London, Milan and Paris – usually in that order. They typically take place twice a year, previewing the coming autumn/winter collections in February and March and giving a sneak peek of the following year’s spring/summer collections in September and October.

In between these “Big Four” events, many other fashion weeks showcase menswear, bridal, swim and haute couture collections around the world.

When: 8-14 February & 7-12 September 2024

New York Fashion Week epitomises the city’s cutting-edge fashion and design scene whilst setting the tone for the upcoming season. The week-long extravaganza brings together designers, models, celebrities and fashion enthusiasts to celebrate the latest trends in clothing, accessories and haute couture.

Spring Studios usually acts as the event’s HQ, with secondary venues like the Lincoln Centre and Milk Studios also hosting runway shows and after-parties.

While Paris and Milan are known for gathering the world’s fashion stalwarts, London Fashion Week is famous for promoting up-and-coming designers. The British capital brings together established and emerging talents who push the boundaries of creativity, and has played a pivotal role in advancing many fledgling careers over the years.

Most of the LFW action plays out at Somerset House, but there have been exceptions over the years in an effort to showcase other parts of the city, with Gucci holding a show at Westminster Abbey and Burberry holding a catwalk at Old Session House in Clerkenwell.

Where to stay

London isn’t short of legendary hotels. The Ritz in Mayfair is synonymous with glitz and glamour with its elegant decor, afternoon tea and Michelin-starred dining. Other timeless icons include The Dorchester overlooking Hyde Park and the newly-renovated Claridges, where guests can enjoy a state-of-the-art spa and pool area beneath the streets of London.
