Todd Snyder, the celebrated American designer, is set to make a triumphant return to New York Fashion Week for the Spring/Summer 2025 season after a four and a half year hiatus. Snyder’s decision to show his latest collection in the Big Apple follows his successful stint as a guest designer at the Pitti Uomo 105 show in Florence last January.
“Doing the show in Florence in January was a great moment for me and the brand,” Snyder said. “It was the biggest show I’d ever done – 80 looks total: 50 from the Todd Snyder collection and 30 Woolrich Black Label. I got my mojo back and fell in love with shows again.”
The designer’s rekindled passion for the runway has inspired him to bring his creative vision back to his home turf. “I’ve been so focused on growing our own retail, I forgot how invigorating it was to do a show,” he confessed. “And as an American designer, it made sense to do it in New York.”
But don’t expect a grand spectacle from Snyder this time around. The designer is opting for an intimate, salon-style presentation for about 50 guests, where he will personally narrate much of the looks, delving into the inspiration, fit, fabric and construction of each piece. “The January show was the biggest showcase I’d ever done and I wanted to change it up and do something different. I’m going to be talking more about the process and the craft,” Snyder explained.
The Spring/Summer 2025 collection promises to be an intriguing mix of tailoring, military references and coastal living pieces. “It will be a mix, so expect to see military references, coastal living pieces. It’ll be a juxtaposition of tailoring infused with other influences,” Snyder teased.
The show, scheduled for September 8th at 3:30 p.m., will take place at Le Rock in Rockefeller Center, a location that holds special significance for the designer. “One of my favorite Todd Snyder stores is located at Rockefeller Center,” he revealed, adding that the restaurant “ties into the theme of what I’m designing for the season.”
Todd Snyder, who launched the eponymous line in 2011, earned $100 million in sales last year and has a growing network of 19 stores across the U.S., including a recently opened location at 1165 Madison Avenue in New York. He also serves as Creative director for Woolrich’s new premium collection: Woolrich Black Label by Todd Snyder.
