Snoopy in Style NYC has opened in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District, bringing a 16,000-square-foot exhibition of designer-created Snoopy and Woodstock looks, Charles M. Schulz archives and 10 immersive zones to New York. The free exhibition arrives eight days before the official New York Fashion Week calendar begins and remains open through Sept. 26.
Key Takeaways
- Snoopy in Style NYC opened to the public Sept. 2 at 25 Little West 12th Street in Manhattan
- The free exhibition runs through Sept. 26, generally from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily
- The Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center curated 10 zones across the 16,000-square-foot space
- Custom Snoopy and Woodstock pieces come from Bode, Coach, Christopher John Rogers, Michael Kors Collection, Sandy Liang, Tory Burch and other designers and brands
- The official New York Fashion Week schedule runs Sept. 10 through Sept. 15
Snoopy in Style NYC opened Wednesday, Sept. 2, with fashion positioned at the center of an exhibition that also covers music, sports and the visual history of Charles M. Schulz’s Peanuts characters.
Its timing creates a clear connection with New York’s September fashion calendar while keeping the exhibition separate from New York Fashion Week itself. The official spring-summer 2027 NYFW schedule runs from Sept. 10 through Sept. 15, with Ralph Lauren, Coach and several other presentations taking place on Sept. 9.
Snoopy in Style NYC Lands Ahead of the NYFW Calendar
The Meatpacking District exhibition opens eight days before the official schedule begins and remains in place for the entirety of Fashion Week.
The preliminary calendar includes 70 runway shows and designer presentations. Area, Collina Strada, Michael Kors Collection, Tory Burch and Zankov are among the names appearing on that calendar that also contributed pieces to Snoopy in Style NYC.
Michael Kors Collection, for example, is part of the exhibition’s designer lineup while also appearing on the official September schedule. The overlap follows the label’s presence during the city’s earlier fashion season, including a Michael Kors fashion-week presentation in February.
That connection does not make the Snoopy exhibition an official NYFW event. The recognized runway shows and presentations remain separate from Snoopy in Style NYC, which operates as a cultural exhibition at 25 Little West 12th Street.
The distinction matters because the show has a different format. Rather than presenting a seasonal clothing collection, the exhibition uses archival material and newly commissioned miniature garments to examine the relationship between Peanuts characters and fashion.
Designer Commissions Anchor the Manhattan Exhibition
Peanuts describes Snoopy in Style NYC as a 16,000-square-foot exhibition divided into 10 immersive zones curated by the Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center.
One of the central displays features Snoopy and Woodstock plush figures wearing custom-made pieces from dozens of participants. The published roster includes adidas, American Eagle, Area, Bode, Christopher John Rogers, Coach, Collina Strada, GapStudio designed by Zac Posen, Kith, Levi’s, Luar, Michael Kors Collection, Sandy Liang, Tommy Hilfiger, Tory Burch, Willy Chavarria and Zankov.
The exhibition combines those contemporary commissions with displays focused on how wardrobe choices were used throughout Schulz’s work.
Jean Schulz, Charles M. Schulz’s widow and president of the museum’s board, summarized that connection in comments released for the exhibition.
“Sparky understood that characters, like people, had a distinct sense of style.”
The exhibition points to Charlie Brown’s zigzag shirt and the changing wardrobes of other Peanuts characters as examples of how clothing contributed to their visual identities.
Character-focused fashion projects have also appeared elsewhere in New York’s runway calendar. A 2025 Care Bears runway collaboration similarly placed an established character property within a Fashion Week setting, although the Snoopy exhibition uses a museum and archival format rather than a conventional runway presentation.
Archives Extend the Story Beyond New Designer Looks

An earlier “Snoopy in Fashion” exhibition debuted at Tokyo’s Seibu Art Forum in 1984. Designers including Gianni Versace, Gucci, Oscar de la Renta, L.L. Bean and Missoni created personalized pieces for Snoopy and Belle.
Thirty years later, the project returned to New York. “Snoopy & Belle In Fashion” opened at the New Museum during New York Fashion Week in September 2014, featuring a new group of designer interpretations before traveling internationally.
The current exhibition broadens the subject beyond clothing. Joe Cool’s Listening Lounge includes a DJ booth, records and material tied to Vince Guaraldi’s music for Peanuts. Another installation examines Schulz’s interest in tennis and his friendship with Billie Jean King.
The archival component also separates the exhibition from a standard branded pop-up. Materials connected with Schulz appear alongside the contemporary designer pieces, allowing the show to place the new commissions within the longer history of the comic strip and earlier fashion exhibitions.
For visitors, Snoopy in Style NYC remains open through Sept. 26 at 25 Little West 12th Street. Regular hours are listed from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily, with hours subject to changes for special events, and admission is free. That schedule covers the full Sept. 10–15 official New York Fashion Week calendar and extends 11 days beyond its final scheduled date.
