Consider this an anchor to all the fun that was had celebrating New York Fashion Week and the Spring Summer collections of 2026. From runway shows to after parties, presentations and streetstyle, not to mention catching up with industry friends and those who came from out of town. Fashion week is one of those periods that I like to think of as a hard sprint, not a marathon but one that is always worth it and sad to see it end.
Day One
Day One was really day 00 – where I attended the Grace Faena presentation at Printemps luxury department store downtown. The vibes were great and energetic and the collection very colorful and fun Miami aesthetic.
Day Two
Let’s continue to call this NYFW – but it was really the celebration of the collection as well as an introduction to the stunning new Faena Hotel. I also attended a little launch party of the new Kendra Scott sunglass collection.
Day Three
The real day one NYFW – I attended Raul Penaranda presentation, missed Normal Kamali presentation by 10 minutes, but then headed over for some friend time for a steak dinner at Butcher and Banker. Raul’s presentation was really fantastic as he took the time to spend time with each of his guests, personally touring us on each piece and his inspiration behind it. I love the story behind each.
Day Four
I attended the Alexis Bittar presentation, which was more like being in an Old Hollywood Theater. It was almost a little trippy but, all things aside, I am a huge fan of the designs. Then proceeded to check out Off White and spent the evening at store parties in Soho for streetwear brands Ksumi and Purple Brand. Both were bustling and full of energy.
Day Five
I missed Alice and Olivia but caught some streetstyle, then did a quick outfit change for Khaite.
Day Six
I visited Walker Hotel for an influencer cocktail happy hour where we got to learn about some beauty and connect with a few brands but couldn’t stay too long as I had to run to PUBLIC SERV-CE runway show. It was their debut and I am already such a huge fan of the brand.
Day Seven
I briefly stopped by the Scorcesa Bridal ready-to-wear brand Scorcesa,a newly launched brand by Hatian designer Charles Dieujuste. This collection is an homage to his native land honoring spiritual undertones, West African traditions and hand-beaded textiles.
I then attended The Blonds runway show. The Blonds always has an A-list guest list and brings so many fun designs and energy. The collection as always gives a little avant-garde and sequins moment, bright colors and fierce animal prints take the runway.
Day Eight
My final day for NYFW was bopping around shows. I attended Frederick Anderson which was absolutely stunning, as always and a continued favorite every season.
Then I headed over to Lost Pattern a brand I’ve only become acquainted with last season but quickly fell in love with as it’s perfect for resort and spring summer.
Finally I ended the night at Frederick Anderson’s after party where he launched his new gin collaboration with Empirical Spirits and feels like a tradition in closing out the week.
