Michael Kors Fall 2026

Pandemic time straight-up stole Michael Kors’s 40th anniversary party back in February 2021. Gone. Vaporized. No champagne, no speeches, no victory lap. So now—half a decade later—it’s 45, and honestly? That feels like something worth lingering on. Only Ralph Lauren and Norma Kamali on the New York Fashion Week calendar have been doing this longer, which is… not nothing. Talking about longevity in the days leading up to the show, Kors shrugged it off in the most Kors way possible: consistency, paired with inconsistency. Which sounds like a contradiction until you realize it’s basically been his whole deal.

Proenza Schouler Fall 2026

Rachel Scott was technically named creative director of Proenza Schouler just days before last September’s New York Fashion Week show, but today? Today felt like the real beginning. This was the first collection she actually touched from start to finish—no handover energy, no transitional fog—stepping fully into the role left behind by Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, who’ve since packed up for Paris and the Loewe dream. The room showed up for her, too. Maria Cornejo. Veronica Leoni from Calvin Klein. Raul Lopez of Luar. A proper designer roll call. Which feels even more impressive when you remember Scott has her own Diotima show in four days. Casual.

Collina Strada Fall 2026

Hillary Taymour called the show The World Is a Vampire and, honestly… where’s the lie. Nobody in the room was about to argue—least of all the Collina Strada girlies she gathered up tonight, half of whom were wearing her signature bug-eye sunglasses indoors, at night, like absolute pros. Commitment to the bit. Respect. Taymour has always been very good at this part—the world-building part. From the bug sunglasses to the bug rings (collectible! obsessive! slightly unhinged!) to shoe collabs with Puma, Vans, and Ugg, she’s built a whole ecosystem.

Coach Fall 2026

Pinned to Stuart Vevers’s fall moodboard were all the usual suspects and then some: a baby-faced Jodie Foster, a sun-bleached California skateboarder, ’70s flares, and—because of course—a still from The Wizard of Oz, a movie he’s watched every year since he was a kid (which feels important, actually). Meanwhile, Coach’s Q2 numbers are doing their own little victory lap, skipping merrily down a very real gold brick road. Call it design wizardry. Call it timing. Either way, the brand is very much not lost in the woods.

Tory Burch Fall 2026

It started, apparently, with her dad’s corduroys. Which—OH MY GOD—feels almost aggressively normal in a moment where everything else feels… not. Tory Burch said she was asking herself the big question backstage (the one we’re all quietly panicking about): what actually lasts? What sticks around when the world feels loud and chaotic and kind of exhausting. And her answer wasn’t some grand, conceptual thesis—it was familiarity. Memory. Her father’s worn-in trousers. Practical. Slightly slouchy. Completely unpretentious. Clothes that have lived a life.

Lafayette 148 Fall 2026

Lafayette 148 started thirty years ago with the kind of clothes that don’t scream for attention—quiet, competent, very I’ve got this. A white button-up. Proper suiting. The basics. And after spending the last year doing the whole anniversary victory lap, Emily Smith decided to loop the fall collection straight back to the beginning. Not nostalgically, not sentimentally—but methodically. She went into the archives and started really looking. At how things were made. At seams. At construction. At the factory floor itself (which, honestly, feels kind of radical right now).

Heidi Klum in a Vampire ciostume

KLUM-O-WEEN

Okay so—Heidi Klum. The Queen of Halloween, which sounds dramatic until you realize it’s actually true. Like, I used to think Halloween was about face paint and those last-minute CVS wigs that smell vaguely like burnt plastic and regret, but Heidi… she made it an art form. Every year, this woman shows up to her own party looking like something between a science experiment and a fever dream—and I mean that in the highest possible compliment.

Versace Fall 2025

The looming possibility of a Versace sale cast a long shadow over tonight’s show, turning the usual spectacle into something more charged, more uncertain. As the fashion crowd settled into the tram depot where it was staged, the murmurs were inevitable—was this Donatella Versace’s final bow? And if so, what would Versace even be without Donatella?

Roberto Cavalli Fall 2025

Just yesterday, archaeologists announced the discovery of new frescoes in Pompeii—thirty to forty A.D., depicting the initiation rites of Dionysus’s devotees. Perfect timing. Fausto Puglisi, for his part, had already decided that his latest Cavalli outing would center on Pompeii—the ancient pleasure palace of a city, decadent and doomed in equal measure, smothered in volcanic ash nearly two millennia ago. It was love at first sight for him, or so the story goes—he first visited as a child, and it stayed with him, the way ancient beauty and sudden catastrophe tend to do.

Prada Fall 2025

After the Prada show, a photographer—cheeky, exasperated, perhaps both—asked what, exactly, Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons had been up to this season. When the answer came—“interrogating femininity,” specifically, “what is feminine beauty today?”—he snorted: “Er, double Ds.” It was a joke, obviously, but not an inaccurate one. Idealized beauty remains the defining obsession of our age, only now it’s purchasable—nipped, tucked, lasered, and filtered into a kind of eerie digital perfection, a symmetry so precise it could only exist in the uncanny valley.
