Two Canadian labels, Chloe comme Parris and Amanda Lew Kee, will be participating in the designer lineup for the next instalment of New York Fashion Week.

The line-up for GenArt's Fresh Faces in Fashion was revealed late last week and includes the two distinguished Canadian names, who will take to the runway on September 9th at Pier 57.

The GenArt program has been a long-standing showcase for up-and-coming designers who are now among the top names in the industry. Rodarte, Zac Posen, Phillip Lim and Vena Cava are among those on the roster of past participants who debuted their very first runway shows at the event.
