International Heritage Fashion Week Season 04
On September 11, 2025, International Heritage Fashion Week (IHFW) will return for its highly anticipated Season 04 at the Angel Orensanz Foundation, one of New York City’s most historic venues. Known for merging cultural heritage with modern couture, IHFW has become a highlight of the official New York Fashion Week calendar.
Guided by the vision of founder and producer Prashant Goyal, the event continues to expand its global influence. Since its debut in February 2024, IHFW has delivered sold-out shows that opened retail, editorial, and international opportunities for emerging and established designers alike.
Prashant Goyal describes the mission best: “Heritage is about more than fabric but it’s about identity, memory, and pride. At IHFW, every designer tells a story, and together, those stories create a global conversation.”
