The Oscars throw a wrench into NYFW Fall 2020

The 2020 Oscars, taking place on Feb. 9, are throwing a major wrench into the NYFW schedule, which could impact stars’ red carpet looks and whether Hollywood’s A-list will be sitting front-row at the shows (most of them haven’t been for quite a few years anyway, reports WWD).

It was revealed last year that the 2020 awards season would be cut short, with the Oscars falling in the middle of New York Fashion Week on Feb. 9. This has led to speculation on the impact of these two major events clashing.  The coinciding events also present a setback for Hollywood stylists, who often pull looks from the NYFW collections for the Oscars. Just last year, actresses Sarah Paulson and Danai Gurira wore fall 2019 looks from Brandon Maxwell and Brock Collection, respectively, which debuted at New York Fashion Week only a few weeks prior.

It can also mean that the New York Fashion Week shows will lack some of their star power since many actors and actresses will be busy getting ready for Hollywood’s biggest night.  So keep your eyes trained on that red carpet Sunday night to see who’s wearing what, and from whom… and if it’s from this week’s NYFW collection!
