Here’s The Gen Z NYFW Pop Ups We're Excited For This Year
By Amber Little · Updated September 16, 2025

September signifies one thing: Fashion. New York Fashion Week is just around the corner, offering us the chance to witness brands showcase their creativity through stunning clothing designs on the runway. These collections are anticipated to shape the new wave of fashion trends, significantly impacting the city’s economy while sparking discussions around cultural values, sustainability, and innovation. As designers curate a theme around these collections, influencers are left in awe and eager to indulge in the activities surrounding New York Fashion Week.

Sometimes Fashion Week can be expensive, but there are events that will not break the bank. For fashion enthusiasts in New York, this also means a surge of pop-up events. As pop-ups become increasingly popular among companies, brands are seizing the opportunity to connect with potential buyers through immersive and innovative experiences. Fashion is no longer solely about the clothing; it now focuses on how brands can make consumers feel. By creating positive emotional connections, brands foster loyalty through exclusive popups showcasing their creativity by integrating the shopper with valuable content filled with memorable moments. GU created a list full of pop-up events to attend this month for the aspiring fashion lover.
