NEW YORK FASHION WEEK FALL/WINTER 2026
MICHAEL KORS
Michael Kors FW 26 runway show was a celebration of 45 years of launching his namesake brand. This is marked as a rare, legacy moment for the founder/designer and the brand’s identity.
The show was held in the Metropolitan Opera House at Lincoln Center, staged on it’s grand double staircase.
Kors’ reflects on the collection in a statement as:
“New York is gritty, tough… but it can also be the most glamorous, magical place in the world.”
Kors reinvented classic designs through traditional blazers with unexpected fluid trains, paired sequins and feathers with knitwear, leather opera gloves and trench coats, and shearling and faux fur jackets.
The color story mixed bold red accents (raspberry, wine, rich plum) with urban neutral tones of black, charcoal, camel or “fawn”.

PROENZA SCHOULER
Proenza Schouler’s Fall 2026 show marked a pivotal moment for Rachel Scott, marking her official debut as Creative Director in a defining creative transition from previous founders Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez.
The “New York Woman” was the centered theme of the collection, embodying multifaceted, expressive women - who balance precision with imperfection.
The feminine styles included sculptured round-skirt dresses and peplum jackets with print innovation. Night-orchid inspired prints were seen across the collection in a dark, moody color palette. Overall the collection was more neutral-toned with various blacks, browns, greys, crimson red, icy blue, and seaglass green.

DIOTIMA
The Diotima runway show was Jamaican designer Rachel Scott’s second presentation, after Proenza Schouler, at New York Fashion Week.
The show’s theme, “Femme Cheval” (Horse Woman), was derived from the work of Wifredo Lam and represents the blending of human and divine; ultimately symbolizing strength and resistance.
Significant to note are the brand’s activist efforts, partnering with Refugee Atelier, a New-York based non-profit providing fair wages to female refugees. The partnership is significant for it’s emphasis on ethical production and social responsibility within the luxury fashion industry.
Key aspects of the partnership include directly supporting immigrant women with technical skills of embroidery or textile artistry, helping them gain stability and work in the competitive New York City landscape. Scott has stated she aims to redefine sustainability beyond just materials to include non-exploitative labor practices.
Overall, the collection was a politically attuned and thoughtful statement that gave back to the community.

ALTUZARRA
Altuzarra’s Fall / Winter 2026 collection at NYFW explored inspiration between Spanish artistic drama and modern utilitarian tailoring. Direct inspiration comes from painter Diego Veláquez and filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar.
The collection was widely recognized as one of the season’s most texturally rich and thoughtfully composed lineups due to it’s blend of practicality and theatrical expression.
Designer Joseph Altuzarra framed the collection around the concept of “drama in the mundane” by taking simple garment foundations and elevating them through movement, volume, and refined details.
Material choices prominently feature wool and shearling, leather, silk, chiffon, lace, and subtle elegant fringe.

PRABAL GURUNG
Prabal Gurung’s Fall / Winter 2026 collection was inspired by a direct reflection of the designer’s own life. Tied to his own emotional, introspective journey - he framed the collection as capturing beauty in chaos and comfort as rebellion.
According to show reviewers, the coats and knitwear remained not only functional, but represented emotional security. Strategic pops of colors to evoke emotion included deep reds, violets, mint green, metallics, soft pink, bold purples, and electric blue.
Gurung experimented with the materials of cashmere and wool, Mongolian shearling, plush knitwear, washed leathers, and silk.

PATBO
Patbo FW 26 channeled a Brazilian bohemian spirit rooted in 1970s cultural liberation. Designer Patricia Bonaldi looked to a moment when Brazil’s women embraced freedom of expression after the dictatorship - translating this cultural movement into her designs that feel free-spirited, sensual, and rich with movement.
The blend of hand-embroidery, fringe and fluid fabrics, metallics and archival fabrics created a sensory runway experience.
The show was emotionally engaging and materially rich.
