eBay is collaborating with the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) and The NY Archive to host a fashion retrospective titled ‘Endless Runway: The Archive’ during New York Fashion Week.

The initiative features an immersive exhibition of over 150 rare archival pieces curated by stylist Carlos Nazario, exploring various eras of American design from the 1970s to 1990s minimalism. The event includes an eBay Live auction, which allows viewers to participate in real-time bidding and instant purchases of designer looks from brands such as Calvin Klein, Marc Jacobs, Ralph Lauren, Dior, and Prada.

To facilitate the event, The NY Archive’s New York City showroom is being transformed into a runway production space to connect traditional fashion distribution with digital e-commerce. Proceeds from the auction are intended to benefit the CFDA.
