New York's clothing and apparel sector shows 43 funding events spanning April 2020 through August 2025, with round sizes ranging from $500K (DGI Apparel, pre-seed, April 2024) to $140M (Harry's, Series F, January 2022). The five largest disclosed rounds are Harry's at $140M, Warby Parker at $120M, Pair Eyewear's $75M Series C (October 2023), Vivrelle's $62M Series C (June 2025), and Grailed's $60M Series B (September 2021).
Seven rounds closed in 2025 through August, including Ten Thousand's undisclosed Series B, Tapstitch at $22M, and Simplifyber's $12M Series A for materials innovation. The set mixes DTC consumer brands (Untuckit, Tommy John, BANDIER), luxury resale and rental platforms (Rebag, Vivrelle, Moda Operandi), and B2B infrastructure plays (JOOR, Fashinza, CaaStle). Established labels Altuzarra and The ROW each took undisclosed rounds in late 2024, a pattern common when later-stage companies raise privately.
