FASHION IN FOUR DIMENSIONS: JOHNATHAN HAYDEN RETURNS TO NEW YORK FASHION WEEK
Johnathan Hayden Returns to New York Fashion Week with Solivagant; A Multi-Sensory Fusion of Fashion, Art, Sound, and Technology
In partnership with Bang & Olufsen, molo Design, and acclaimed fine artists, the designer debuts a two-hour immersive presentation
NEW YORK, NY (August 14th, 2025) On Sunday, September 14, 2025, at 1:00 PM, fashion designer Johnathan Hayden will present his first solo exhibition, Solivagant, during New York Fashion Week. This two-hour standing presentation at G Gallery in SoHo, will transform the venue into an immersive environment inspired by Hayden’s Southwestern roots and personal journey of renewal called, The Mesa Mirage. The Mesa Mirage is Johnatha's vision to create an immersive environment uniting couture craftsmanship, fine art, high-fidelity sound, and sustainable design innovation.
Blending fashion, art, sound, and technology, the exhibition will feature music by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer, Ellen Reid, brought to life through a partnership with premiere sponsor Bang & Olufsen. Known worldwide for their unmatched acoustic craftsmanship, Bang & Olufsen will create an audio landscape designed to mirror the emotional arc of Hayden’s collection, enveloping guests in a narrative they can see, hear, and feel.
The gallery space is reimagined with elements from the soft collection, a modular system of flexible space partitions, lighting, and furniture elements designed by Stephanie Forsythe and Todd MacAllen for molo Design. Works from fine artists Paul S. Briggs, Preston Sampson, Michele Dragonetti, and Sam LaRocco will further enrich the experience, creating a gallery-meets-runway moment where each discipline amplifies the others.
Solivagant, meaning “wandering alone,” is both a creative statement and a deeply personal milestone for Hayden. It marks his first runway presentation in three years, following a creative pause to reflect, refine, and reconnect. The result is a body of work that speaks to solitude, transformation, and self-actualization.
“Solivagant is about the journey we take when we step away, listen to ourselves, and return transformed,” says Hayden. “By merging couture with sound, space, and fine art, I wanted to create an environment where every sense is part of the storytelling.”
Beyond the runway, Hayden is a vocal advocate for New York’s fashion ecosystem. He was the only designer to testify before the New York City Council in support of protecting the Garment District, contributing to a unanimous vote to safeguard its future. He serves on the governing board of the New York Fashion Workforce Development Coalition (NYFWDC), working alongside industry peers to strengthen domestic manufacturing and design infrastructure. His advocacy also includes academic leadership, leading research at Parsons School of Design on inclusive design for disability, supported by the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA)’s education arm.
Hayden’s previous work includes an award from Harlem’s Fashion Row ICON360 (via the CFDA’s Common Thread initiative), a debut at Tokyo Fashion Week, and prior NYFW presentations with Banana Republic and LVMH as premiere sponsors.
