The Fashion Calendar is an American bi-weekly publication founded by Ruth Finley in 1945, listing all fashion related events in New York City.
[1] The calendar is considered the main resource for scheduling and managing fashion events in New York City.
The Fashion Calendar was create as an aggregation of these events to not only advertise them and their participants, but also to facilitate scheduling.
[2] Once the calendar began to attract a larger following, subscribing to the Calendar indicated that one was an active participant in the fashion community, and became a key entry into American fashion.
[3] In an effort to increase its efficacy and reach, Ruth Finley handed over ownership of the Calendar to CFDA.
