hiTechMODA marked its return to New York Fashion Week with a two-day showcase that underscored its growing influence as a global platform for innovation, inclusivity, and forward-thinking design. The February presentations brought together designers from around the world, delivering a panoramic view of contemporary fashion that balanced craftsmanship, cultural storytelling, and modern luxury.

This season introduced a milestone moment for the brand. For the first time, hiTechMODA incorporated an interactive runway into its New York Fashion Week programming.

“hiTechMODA was created to open doors and expand the definition of who belongs on the runway. Each season in New York, we bring together designers whose work reflects innovation, culture, and the future of fashion. Fashion is an art form without borders and a language without politics; we gather here to celebrate our shared passion as one in during the historic New York Fashion Week.”
