Experience: Forces of Fashion 2024

Join The Conversations

For our eighth year of Forces, we’re bringing a special focus on the power of the runway show, or, more accurately, runway shows, because we’re inviting many of the brilliant creatives who make the magic happen—from designers to models to makeup and hair superstars. As well as the A-list keynote speakers and fashion-forward conversations you’ve come to expect from Vogue, we’re inviting you to be in conversation with us about the inside track on everything runway—from memorable collections to standout shows, models, soundtracks, and major beauty looks.

In addition, there will be plenty of opportunities to meet our editors—and each other—with networking breakout sessions.

Immersive Fashion Experiences

You’ll also have rare access to our immersive fashion experiences, including the Vogue Closet for some shopping nirvana. The Vogue Runway team will reveal what goes into writing their reviews—and our attendees will have their own chance to write reviews themselves and have the team critique them. (Opinions about fashion? We know you have them!).

Plus: Dame Pat McGrath, the artistic genius with a makeup brush, returns to Forces after appearing last year, and she’s cooking up some fun ideas you’ll want to see, and hear, and… well, you’ll find out.

Fashion Fund Goes Live

It’s a big year for the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund—we have turned 20! Expect not only the opportunity to meet the 2024 finalists—along with some of the designers who went through the fund and became major fashion stars! This year’s group is comprised of Sebastien Ami by Sebastien and Marianne Amisial, Kate Barton, Grace Ling, Connor McKnight, L’Enchanteur by Dynasty and Soull Ogun, Presley Oldham, Phipps by Spencer Phipps, 5000 by Taylor Thompson, Jane Wade, and Wiederhoeft by Jackson Wiederhoeft.

After all: If you’re going to hear about the past and present of the runway, it’s also important to get to know who’ll lead it into the future.
