"We're looking forward to reintroducing the industry to a showcase of creative talent, style and innovation that made the New York runways famous," said Mark Shapiro, chief content officer at IMG.
"Part of this showcase involves staying close to inspirational hubs for fashion, art and music, and we've found great new homes for that in Skylight at Moynihan Station and Skylight Clarkson Sq."
IMG said the locations in SoHo and Midtown would enable fashionistas get to and from other show venues more efficiently.
An increasing number of designers already hold their catwalk shows away from Lincoln Center, selecting hotels, restaurants and other prominent buildings dotted across Manhattan.
The city had worked closely with IMG Fashion to find alternative locations for Fashion Week, which earns New York nearly $900 million, and which has been based at Lincoln Center since 2010.
"The fashion industry contributes so much to New York City, and I'm thrilled that New York Fashion Week will bring so much excitement and energy to its new homes," said Mayor Bill de Blasio.
The spring/summer 2016 edition of Fashion Week will be held from September 10-17, IMG said.
