Zac Posen Pushes GapStudio Into Designer Territory for Fall 2026

Runway Magazine Editorial Team

GapStudio Fall 2026 just gave America’s biggest mall brand another genuine fashion moment. Zac Posen is turning denim into a design statement.

GapStudio launched its Fall 2026 collection of men’s and women’s elevated styles designed by Zac Posen, executive vice president and creative director of Gap Inc. The 20-piece wardrobe centers on American utility and denim, continuing Posen’s push to turn Gap’s core fabrics into genuine design territory.

This launch matters because Gap carries far more consumer search volume than a niche runway label. Furthermore, Posen’s continued involvement gives the retailer real fashion-world credibility that few mall brands can claim.

What Is in the GapStudio Fall 2026 Collection?

The collection is priced between $34 and $198, keeping it accessible even as the designs lean more elevated. According to WWD, Posen built the collection around khaki, denim, shirting, the T-shirt, and utility and workwear pieces — the same fabrications that have historically defined both American style and Gap’s own heritage.

“The journey that indigo played; looking at utility of American West, not Western clothing, and that intersection of when industrialism met craft,” Posen said of his approach. He added that the brand is “leaning into being a denim-focused core fabric,” describing himself as now “fully a denim head.” GapStudio Fall Winter 2026 pieces avoid nostalgia in favor of newly elevated takes on those classic silhouettes.

Where Can You Shop GapStudio Fall 2026?

The collection is available globally through Gap’s e-commerce site and in select stores. Posen’s women’s styles will appear in 20 stores worldwide, while the men’s offering launches in just three U.S. locations: Flatiron in New York, Chestnut Street in San Francisco and The Grove in Los Angeles.

Zac Posen Gap distribution also extends into select international markets across Europe and the Middle East, plus Taiwan, Japan and Mexico City, alongside an online presence through Zalando. That international reach signals just how far Posen’s GapStudio project has expanded since its original holiday launch.

How Is Zac Posen Elevating Gap’s Reputation?

Posen joined Gap Inc. in February 2024, and GapStudio has grown steadily since its first collection debuted that spring. Early custom pieces for celebrities including Anne Hathaway, Timothée Chalamet and Michael B. Jordan helped establish real red-carpet credibility for the sub-brand well before this Fall 2026 collection arrived.

Gap fall collection 2026 momentum builds on that foundation, continuing Posen’s strategy of using his design authority to reposition an accessible retailer as a genuine fashion source. GapStudio 2026 growth has moved steadily from limited capsule drops toward a fuller wardrobe offering spanning both menswear and womenswear. Runway will track how this Fall 2026 collection performs at retail as the season continues.

Haider Ackermann Pushes Tom Ford Deeper Into Seduction for Fall 2026

Runway Magazine Editorial Team

The Tom Ford Fall 2026 campaign just extended one of the season’s most talked-about runway moments. Haider Ackermann is taking the story straight from the catwalk into advertising.

Haider Ackermann conceived the Tom Ford Fall 2026 campaign imagery around the house’s core idea of seduction. He cast Liu Wen, Kristen McMenamy and a diverse group of models against a stark studio backdrop. The campaign extends the tension he built into his March runway show, translating it directly into stripped-down, character-driven photography.

This campaign matters because Ackermann is now three seasons into his tenure at Tom Ford. Furthermore, this release confirms the aesthetic he introduced in March has real staying power beyond a single runway moment.

What Is the Concept Behind Tom Ford’s Fall 2026 Campaign?

Photographer Stuart Winecoff shot the campaign under glaring light against a clinical white background. He stripped away props and theatrical staging entirely. According to WWD, Ackermann described the project as “a study on characters: individuals of every age and walk of life, depicted in glaring light… proud of who they are.” That approach keeps every subject’s clothing and personality front and center, with no distractions pulling focus away.

Haider Ackermann’s Tom Ford imagery consistently favors this kind of pared-back, direct presentation over elaborate sets. “I wanted the images to be pure and direct, stark but trembling with human substance,” Ackermann said. He framed the campaign as an extension rather than a departure from his runway vision.

Who Stars in the Tom Ford Fall 2026 Campaign?

Liu Wen and Kristen McMenamy anchor a cast that also includes Aluel Makuach, Malick Bodian, Alfredo Ramirez and Scott Barnhill. Kristen McMenamy’s Tom Ford appearances have become something of a signature during Ackermann’s tenure, and her presence here reinforces the continuity between the runway show and this campaign. Additionally, Liu Wen’s casting adds further star power to a lineup built around diverse, experienced faces rather than fresh newcomers.

Per W Magazine, the original March runway show drew on sharp corporate-thriller styling and ’80s New Wave influences, opening with bleach-blonde buzz cuts against a glowing white box. This 2026 campaign imagery mirrors that same sharp, fetishistic tension, translating tailored suits, transparent materials and animal-pattern elements from the runway directly into the advertising.

Why Does This Campaign Matter for Fall Shopping Season?

Tom Ford’s Fall Winter 2026 pieces are now hitting stores just as this campaign rolls out. That timing gives shoppers a direct line between the runway concept and the retail experience. Pinstripes, military-flecked tailoring and sultry eveningwear defined the original collection, and the campaign reinforces those same codes through its cast and styling.

Ackermann’s continued emphasis on diverse casting has become a defining feature of his Tom Ford era. This distinguishes the campaign from more conventional single-model advertising approaches. As fall shopping season ramps up, expect this seduction-forward aesthetic to shape how Tom Ford positions itself against other major luxury houses. Runway will therefore track how the collection performs at retail as the campaign continues to roll out.

Ariana Madix Stunned in Vintage Versace at the Love Island USA Reunion

By Runway Magazine Editorial Team

One archival gown, two famous women, seven months apart. Ariana Madix hosted this year’s Love Island USA reunion in a twenty-year-old Versace dress that Hailey Bieber had already worn in public. Moreover, neither styling reads as a copy of the other.

The Ariana Madix Love Island reunion look is a pale yellow silk gown from Versace’s spring/summer 2006 collection, worn to host the Season 8 reunion with Andy Cohen. Hailey Bieber wore the same archival dress at a Vogue event in Sydney earlier in 2026. The special streams August 31 on Peacock.

Why Is Ariana Madix’s Love Island Reunion Dress Everywhere?

Because it has a documented second life. Vintage pulls usually trade on obscurity, and this one does the opposite — the gown already had a 2026 news cycle attached before Madix put it on.

The why-now is the calendar. The reunion streams Monday, and images from the taping are circulating days ahead of it. Consequently, the wardrobe conversation is running before anyone has seen a minute of the episode.

The Rewear Economy

Two decades ago, a repeated dress ended a stylist’s week. Now it compounds attention. Each wearing adds provenance, and provenance is what turns a dress into a story.

That shift is why the Ariana Madix vintage Versace choice was smart rather than risky. She inherited a fully documented object.

Inside the Versace Spring/Summer 2006 Gown

The dress is butter-yellow silk, cut on the bias. A jeweled halter neckline anchors it, with an embellished center panel running down a plunging front that reaches toward the waist.

Below that, ruffles cascade down a high center slit, finishing in a sweeping chiffon train. Heavily beaded panels add weight at the hips. Notably, crystal and bead embroidery covers the bodice rather than scattering across it.

Madix, 41, kept the styling deliberately quiet. She wore gold pointed-toe pumps, a set of rings and fine bracelets, with her brown hair in a sleek blowout. The Versace Spring 2006 construction did the talking.

Why the Restraint Worked

A gown with a train, a slit and full crystal embroidery does not need earrings. Adding statement jewelry would have flattened the embellishment already built into the neckline.

Therefore the accessory list stays short. That is the whole technique.

Hailey Bieber Wore It First This Year

The Hailey Bieber Versace gown appearance came months earlier, at a Vogue event in Australia. She took the styling in a harder direction, pulling her hair into a slicked-back bun and adding diamond drop earrings.

The contrast is instructive. Bieber’s version read modern and severe; Madix’s reads warm and classical, closer to how the gown was shown originally. Similarly, the same silhouette can carry two entirely different registers depending on the hair alone.

Bieber’s off-duty instincts have been running minimal all year, as tracked in our coverage of Hailey Bieber’s capri pants street style. This gown was her outlier.

What the Islanders Wore

Madix was not the only one in the archive. Love Island USA reunion outfits this year leaned unusually heavily on vintage couture, which is rare for reality television press.

Season 8 winner Trinity Tatum chose a silver fringe dress from Alexandre Vauthier’s spring/summer 2022 couture collection. Melanie Moreno went further back, into a fall 2004 Christian Dior gown designed by John Galliano.

Three archival pulls at one taping is a pattern. Love Island USA reunion fashion has quietly become a stylist showcase, and the results sit comfortably alongside our wider red carpet looks coverage.

A Reunion Built Like an Awards Show

Marie Claire reported that the special filmed all day on August 10 in Los Angeles, following an arrival red carpet on August 9 — the first Love Island USA taping staged in front of a studio audience.

That format change explains the wardrobe escalation. A red carpet plus an audience produces different clothes than a couch and a camera.

When the Reunion Streams

Deadline confirmed the premiere for Monday, August 31 at 9 p.m. ET and 6 p.m. PT on Peacock, with Madix and Cohen co-hosting for the second consecutive year.

Season 8 has been the streamer’s strongest yet. Over 30 percent of the audience were new to the franchise, and the show held the number one streaming reality slot for five straight weeks. Additionally, Peacock reports more than four billion video views across its social channels.

Winners Trinity Tatum and Bryce Dettloff return alongside runners-up Aniya Harvey and Carl Lee Schmidt. The season’s more contested exits from Fiji get their airing too.

The Ariana Madix reunion dress will not be her last headline this fall. She is set to return to Broadway as Connie Francis in Just in Time, which means a press cycle with its own wardrobe requirements. Watch the Love Island USA Season 8 reunion carpet images resurface Monday night, and watch what she wears to opening night. Runway Magazine will cover both.

Gigi Hadid and Bella Hadid Debuted Guest in Residence’s Western Campaign in Wyoming

Gigi Hadid and Bella Hadid Debuted Guest in Residence’s Western Campaign in Wyoming

By Runway Magazine Editorial Team

Two sisters, two cowboy hats, one staged showdown in an open field. Gigi Hadid cast the only model who could match her on camera, and she did not have to leave the family. Furthermore, the pairing ends a five-year gap.

The Gigi Bella Hadid Guest in Residence campaign is the Fall 2026 “Guest in the West” shoot, photographed by Clara Balzary at Diamond Cross Ranch in Wyoming. Released August 27, 2026, it marks Bella’s first appearance for her sister’s cashmere label and the pair’s first joint campaign since 2021.

Why Did Gigi and Bella Hadid Reunite for Guest in Residence?

Because the concept required someone who could genuinely ride. Both sisters grew up on horseback at their mother Yolanda Hadid’s Pennsylvania farm, and both have returned there regularly since the 2010s. Therefore the Western framing is biography, not costume.

The why-now is commercial. Guest in Residence launched its Fall 2026 collection on August 27, and the brand is about to move outside knitwear for the first time since Gigi founded it in 2022. Consequently, this campaign has to carry more weight than a seasonal knit drop.

A Five-Year Gap, Closed

The last time the Hadid sisters campaign machine put them in the same frame was Versace’s Spring 2022 advertising, shot in 2021 alongside Donatella Versace in matching latex. Before that, they modeled together for Balmain, Fendi, Moschino and Burberry.

Runway history runs deeper still. They walked Tom Ford, Max Mara and Marc Jacobs together, and closed Anna Sui’s Spring 2018 show after Gigi lost a heel mid-walk.

Inside the ‘Guest in the West’ Shoot

The teaser arrived on Instagram on August 25. The sisters stand across a field, size each other up to a twangy Western score, then both reach for their holsters. The brand’s caption named Bella “everyone’s favorite cowgirl.”

Balzary’s stills lean warmer than the video. Gigi leans on a fence in a red, white and beige striped sweater under a paisley scarf. Bella pulls a flannel button-up cardigan over a red plaid shirt.

A second clip puts both women on horseback in matching brown fringed jackets. Notably, the horses are real working animals, not props parked for a set.

What the Hadid Sisters Wore

Gigi, 31, anchors the standoff in a red striped sweater, a matching red neck scarf, jeans and a black cowboy hat, with her hair plaited into pigtails. The Hadid sisters cowgirl styling stays deliberately unpolished.

Bella, 29, goes fuller Western. She layers a red plaid shirt under a brown-and-red cardigan, then adds a brown cowboy hat, dark-wash denim, brown leather chaps and a Western belt.

The Knitwear Doing the Work

Guest in Residence cashmere remains the engine underneath the theme. One frame places both sisters beside a horse — Bella in a gray cardigan and blue plaid shirt, Gigi in a cow-print jacket over a black button-up.

Bella also wears a horse-patterned intarsia cardigan. That piece is the tell: intarsia is slow, expensive knitting, and the brand put it on the sister who is not the founder.

Bella Hadid western style has been building all year, alongside the harder-edged direction traced in Bella Hadid’s dark glamour comeback. Similarly, this campaign extends rather than resets it.

The Denim Expansion Behind the Western Theme

The cowgirl concept has a business reason. Guest in Residence Fall 2026 introduces the label’s first women’s denim line, developed with US denim designer Benjamin Talley Smith, whose credits include Khaite, Madewell and Rag & Bone.

WWD reported the collection’s development, quoting Hadid describing denim and cashmere as her uniform. We covered the full pricing and fit breakdown in our Guest in Residence denim report earlier this month.

That line does not arrive until September 10. Meanwhile, the campaign does the work of teaching customers to associate this brand with jeans before a single pair goes on sale.

Who Else Wears the Brand

The label has quietly accumulated a serious wearer list. Taylor Swift wore its Shrunken Polo sweater in New York in June. Hailey Bieber attended the Los Angeles store opening.

Hello Magazine’s report on the campaign notes Bella had already worn the brand’s cable cardigan on her own Instagram before signing on formally. Consequently, the casting reads as confirmation rather than conversion.

The broader shift — founder-led labels using family as campaign talent — runs through our celebrity style coverage this year.

What Comes Next

September 10 is the date that matters. Four jeans silhouettes will test whether a cashmere brand can hold a second category, and whether a campaign shot on horseback converts into denim sales.

Watch Gigi’s own runway calendar too. She walked Balenciaga’s Fall 2026 couture show in July, her first couture appearance in four years, and the September shows begin in days. Runway Magazine will cover both.

Kylie Jenner Debuted Icy Blue ‘King Kylie’ Hair on Her Who What Wear Cover

Kylie Jenner Debuted Icy Blue ‘King Kylie’ Hair on Her Who What Wear Cover

By Runway Magazine Editorial Team

A decade after the original, the blue came back shorter. Kylie Jenner appeared on a magazine cover this week in a pale, glacial bob with blunt bangs cut straight across the brow. Moreover, the shade lands at the exact moment she is rebuilding her fashion brand.

Kylie Jenner blue hair returned on August 27, 2026, when she appeared on the cover of Who What Wear’s August/September issue in an icy blue wig cut into a micro bob with full bangs. The look revives the King Kylie era she defined roughly a decade ago.

Why Is Kylie Jenner’s Blue Hair Back?

Because the timing does real work. Jenner is 29, running a cosmetics company past its tenth anniversary and steering a clothing label through a full reinvention. Therefore a visual reset carries strategic weight, not just nostalgia.

The why-now sits in the cover story itself. She discusses the future of Khy, an emerging acting career, and what she calls a personal refresh. Consequently, the hair reads as a thesis statement rather than a styling whim.

The Difference Between 2015 and Now

The original run was chaotic on purpose. Turquoise, baby pink and neon yellow arrived in rotation, often within the same month. This time there is one shade, one shape, and one photograph.

Restraint is the tell. A single icy bob says more than twenty color changes did, because everybody already knows the reference.

The Cover Look, Piece by Piece

Hello Magazine’s report on the cover describes a close-up frame, the subject looking directly into the lens. The Kylie Jenner blue bob sits jaw-length, blunt at the ends, with a heavy fringe.

She wears a black dress with a high neckline covered in intricate gemwork. Aidan Zamiri photographed the shoot. Iggy Rosales built the hair; Ariel Tejada handled makeup; Alexandra and Mackenzie Grandquist styled it.

That team matters. Notably, the same crew produced her flapper-inspired Puss Puss shoot with a copper wig — evidence that the Kylie Jenner wig has become a working editorial tool rather than a personal signature.

A Decade of Color, Documented

King Kylie was never a nickname she chose retroactively. It attached itself in the mid-2010s to a specific look: cotton-candy hair, heavy liner, Snapchat as a primary medium. Millions of people can date a photograph by her hair color alone.

Kylie Jenner King Kylie searches have spiked with every revival since. She returned to teal in 2024, then again around the tenth anniversary of Kylie Cosmetics. Each time, the archive resurfaces intact.

What Stormi Said

Her daughter has offered the sharpest review on record. Shown the old photos, Stormi delivered a verdict on one combination: a blue wig with a red outfit was, in her assessment, not a good combo.

That exchange is why the era keeps working. It is old enough to be judged by a child who wasn’t born yet.

The Editorial Wardrobe Behind the Hair

The Kylie Jenner beauty look now travels with a specific fashion register. Earlier in 2026 she covered Vanity Fair in a bustier and Hermès riding jodhpurs, staged as a Madonna-by-Helmut-Newton homage.

Blue eyes have been part of the same shift — see the wider icy blue eyeshadow trend running through celebrity beauty this year. Similarly, the cover bob fits a palette she has been testing for months.

Kylie Jenner hair 2026 is therefore less a departure than a consolidation. Every recent shoot has pushed toward heavier styling, harder shapes, and colder tones, in line with our broader beauty trends coverage.

What Comes Next for Khy

The brand is mid-transformation. Kylie Jenner Khy relaunched in April 2026 as a wardrobe-first label, opening with the Born in LA collection priced between $70 and $470 across sizes XXS to 4X.

In the interview, she connects the label’s next goal to her grandmother, MJ, the family matriarch who died in July at 91. That detail reframes the whole cover. A wig that reads as playful sits above a story about legacy.

Kylie Jenner Who What Wear coverage will keep circulating through the weekend. Watch the next Khy drop for whether the blue follows her into campaign imagery, and watch September’s shows for whether the bob survives past one shoot. Runway Magazine is tracking both.

Marvella Akiojano Interview: Building Marviano Cosmetics and a Beauty Brand Made to Last

Marvella Akiojano interview about Marviano Cosmetics and building her beauty brand
Marvella Akiojano talks with RUNWAY about Marviano Cosmetics, beauty, fashion and building her brand.

In this exclusive Marvella Akiojano interview, the founder of Marviano Cosmetics talks with RUNWAY about turning personal beauty frustrations into a cosmetics brand built around long-lasting products, inclusive shades and self-expression.

Akiojano’s approach to beauty begins with solving problems she experienced herself. Smudged lip liners, sticky glosses and products that failed to complement different skin tones became the inspiration behind Marviano Cosmetics. Instead of simply adding another name to an already crowded beauty market, she set out to create products centered on performance, confidence and the realities of how women actually wear makeup.

Fashion also plays an important role in her creative vision. Akiojano cites Louis Vuitton, LaQuan Smith and Lorvae among the designers who have influenced the way she thinks about boldness, inclusivity and design. While cosmetics became the foundation of Marviano, she also sees fashion, handbags and accessories as part of the brand’s future.

In her conversation with RUNWAY, Marvella Akiojano discusses building Marviano Cosmetics, developing smudge-proof beauty products, becoming an entrepreneur without investors and her ambition to ultimately take the brand global.

Marvella Akiojano on Creating Marviano Cosmetics

Tell our readers about your brand. What brought you to developing your own cosmetic line?

Marviano Cosmetics is my bold, smudge-proof, luxury-for-everyday makeup line that makes beauty effortless and expressive. I built this brand because I was tired of lip liners that faded, glosses that felt sticky, and beauty routines that didn’t feel like me. I wanted something that stayed on, stood out, and spoke to the girls who do it all and still want their lip combo to stay put. It started with passion, turned into product, and now it’s a movement.

How does your brand differ from other brands on the market?

Marviano is a brand that actually listens. Every product is developed based on real-life beauty issues I personally experienced like lip products transferring on your man, fading too fast, or clashing with your skin tone. Our formulas are built for long wear, melanin-friendly shades, and confidence you don’t have to touch up. Plus, our storytelling and campaigns aren’t recycled Pinterest fluff it’s real, relatable, and raw.

Fashion, Design and the Future of Marviano

Who are your favorite Fashion Designers? Do they have any effect on your brand or you as a designer?

I love Louis Vuitton for the drama, LaQuan Smith for the sex appeal, and Lorvae for the culture. They’ve each taught me something about intentional design. With Marviano, I’ve taken those same principles boldness, inclusivity, and form-meets-function and applied them to the world of beauty.

What made you decide to make a cosmetic brand rather than a handbag brand? Might we see some handbag options from your brand in the future?

Makeup was my first love it was how I found my confidence. But fashion is still in my blood. So yes, handbags and accessories are absolutely on the vision board.

Building a Beauty Brand Without Investors

What is something that most people don’t know about you or your brand? And tell our readers why this important to know.

Most people don’t know I started this brand with no investors just grit, research, and a vision. Every gloss, liner, and label came from late nights and lessons learned. I’m not a trust fund baby or a retired influencer. I’m a 22-year-old Nigerian girl who built something for women like me: ambitious, stylish, and over it when things don’t work like they should.

Have you had any celebrity collaboration or support?

While we haven’t done an official celebrity collab yet, we’ve had love from influencers and personalities with real influence. But the everyday baddie is my biggest endorsement the girls who go viral in their combo, the ones tagging us in their night-out selfies. That’s who we do it for

The Beauty Brands That Influenced Marvella Akiojano

What are you favorite cosmetic brands that have influenced you or your brand and why?

I’ve always admired Danessa Myrics for shaking the table with shade range and inclusivity, and Nyx for quality yet affordability. But I built Marviano to fill the space in between sleek, luxurious, but still loud enough to make a statement. I learned from the best, but I’m not trying to be them. I’m trying to be HER.

What’s Next for Marviano Cosmetics?

What is next for your brand?

We’re working on retail partnerships, expanding our product line, and launching immersive brand experiences like pop-ups and live events. I want people to feel Marviano, not just wear it.

Where do you see your brand in 5 years from now and why?

In five years, Marviano will be global. On Sephora shelves. On red carpets. On private jets to brand trips I used to only dream about. I see that because I’m building it with vision, discipline, and divine alignment. This brand isn’t a trend it’s longevity.

Tell our readers your social media contacts and website in order to fund the latest drops on your brand.

You can shop the latest drops at www.marvianocosmetics.com and follow along on Instagram and TikTok at @marvianocosmetics. For beauty, lifestyle, and behind-the-scenes content, my personal page is @_marvella___

Rosalía Debuted Desigual’s Newspaper Dress in Mexico City

Rosalía wearing a Desigual newspaper-print scoop-neck dress in Mexico City during the Lux Tour
Rosalía wears Desigual's $160 newspaper-print dress on a Mexico City street during her Lux Tour residency, August 2026

A $160 dress just out-shouted every couture look of the week. Rosalía arrived in Mexico City in Desigual’s newspaper-print style, and the reference registered within minutes. Moreover, that single scoop neckline carries twenty-six years of television history.

The Rosalía newspaper dress is a $160 Desigual style the singer wore in Mexico City in late August 2026, during her Lux Tour run at Palacio de los Deportes. Its scoop neck and crossword-print collage revive the John Galliano for Dior slipdress Carrie Bradshaw made famous in Sex and the City season three.

Why Is the Rosalía Newspaper Dress Everywhere Right Now?

Because timing and recognition collided. Rosalía sits mid-residency in Mexico City, and newspaper print is one of the few patterns a mass audience identifies on sight. Therefore the look travelled faster than any stage costume could.

Her stylist, Jose Carayol, skipped the usual pre-show sweats. Instead, he put her in a dress that reads as a citation. The Rosalía Mexico City outfit worked precisely because it needed no caption — readers supplied the reference themselves.

The why-now is simple. Billboard’s Lux Tour date announcement confirmed a 42-date run across seventeen countries, and the Mexico City block sits inside its final stretch. Consequently, every street sighting this week doubles as tour promotion.

The Album Behind the Wardrobe

Lux arrived in November 2025. Rosalía has since described the tour’s visual brief as maximalist and brutalist, built from three notebooks of sketches. However, the off-stage styling has moved in the opposite direction — legible, referential, and cheap enough to copy.

The Desigual Dress, Detail by Detail

The dress runs lightweight and straight-cut, finished with a flowing A-line skirt. Its scoop neck frames a full-body graphic print. Additionally, the collage mixes mock breaking-news columns with crossword puzzles — a wink at Carrie Bradshaw’s own profession.

Marie Claire’s report on the look put the retail price at $160. That number matters more than the silhouette. Furthermore, it places the most-discussed dress of the week inside an ordinary shopping budget.

Why a $160 Dress Beats a Couture Moment

Price is the entire story. A gown nobody can buy generates admiration; a dress anybody can buy generates search volume. As a result, the Desigual newspaper dress will out-convert most of this month’s red carpets before the weekend ends.

The Rosalía Desigual pairing also solves a problem luxury houses cannot. Shoppers can act on it immediately. Notably, the fast-fashion tier now sets the reference agenda that heritage houses once controlled.

From Elsa Schiaparelli in 1935 to Dior in 2000

Newspaper print did not begin with Sex and the City. Elsa Schiaparelli built a look from press-clipping fabric in 1935, after collecting her own reviews and printing them onto cloth. Galliano revived the idea six decades later.

The John Galliano newspaper dress appeared in the Dior Fall 2000 collection. Then television took it. Carrie wore the asymmetric white slipdress in season three, during her confrontation with Big’s ex-wife, Natasha.

Roberto Cavalli, Chanel, Zara and now Desigual have all reinterpreted the Dior newspaper dress since. Ultimately, the print now ranks among the decade’s most repeated celebrity style moments.

Who Else Has Worn the Carrie Bradshaw Newspaper Dress?

Sarah Jessica Parker returned to the Dior original in 2009 while filming Sex and the City 2. She styled it with an oversized pendant, a bedazzled coin purse and Christian Louboutin stilettos. Emily Ratajkowski took the print through New York in April 2023.

Then 2025 turned a reference into a pattern. Rachel Brosnahan chose a vintage black Galliano version for CinemaCon in April. Jenna Ortega wore the actual Dior Fall 2000 dress to the Hurry Up Tomorrow premiere in May.

August alone produced three Carrie nods. Kaia Gerber carried a Fendi Baguette to the US Open, echoing Sarah Jessica Parker’s Fendi Baguette revival. Zoë Kravitz revisited the white tee and micro shorts. Rosalía Carrie Bradshaw comparisons followed within hours.

The Reference Economy

Each revival compounds the last. Because the silhouette is already stored in cultural memory, the dress does the explaining. Meanwhile, the wearer keeps the credit for the timing.

What the Lux Tour Does Next

Mexico City sits near the end of the road. Rosalía plays multiple nights at Palacio de los Deportes before the tour moves toward its September 3 finale at Coliseo de Puerto Rico in San Juan.

Rosalía LUX Tour outfits have skewed sculptural and severe all year. Yet the newspaper dress proves the off-stage wardrobe now carries equal weight. Expect the remaining South American and Caribbean dates to be styled with the same legibility.

Watch the resale market first. Pieces at this price sell through quickly, and the newspaper print reappears every few years without fail — the next revival is already overdue. Runway Magazine tracks the looks that move fastest.

Kendall Jenner Stunned in Bottega Veneta on Jacob Elordi’s London Premiere Night

By Runway Magazine Editorial Team

Kendall Jenner skipped the red carpet entirely. She still produced the most photographed outfit of the night. Moreover, the couple’s first documented hand-hold happened inside the same frame.

Kendall Jenner Jacob Elordi sightings peaked in London on August 20, 2026, when the pair left China Tang at The Dorchester holding hands after the world premiere of The Dog Stars. Earlier in 2026, RUNWAY also tracked Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny romance speculation following another closely watched public appearance. Jenner wore a fitted gray midi dress with Bottega Veneta pumps and an alligator Hermès Kelly Pochette.

How Did Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi Dress for London?

Both leaned quiet, and both leaned Italian. Jenner chose a sleeveless tank-silhouette midi in gray, cut close and finished just above the knee. Elordi wore a navy double-breasted pinstripe suit from the same house, with a white shirt and a dark tie.

The why-now sits on the calendar. The Dog Stars reaches theaters today, August 28, which turns every image from that London week into active promotion. Consequently, the styling decisions carry commercial weight the couple would probably rather they didn’t.

The Anti-Red-Carpet Strategy

Jenner did not attend the premiere itself. Elordi walked it with his canine co-star, Rak Jasper. Therefore the fashion story happened afterward, on a pavement, without a step-and-repeat behind it.

That choice is the point. A red carpet gives a photograph a caption; a restaurant exit gives it plausibility. As a result, the Kendall Jenner date night outfit read as personal rather than promotional.

The Accessories Did the Talking

Nothing in the look shouted. Still, every piece was legible to anyone who reads bags. The Kendall Jenner Bottega Veneta pumps anchored the outfit in the house’s current quiet register.

Then came the clutch. She carried the Kendall Jenner Hermès Kelly Pochette in alligator, held low, treated like an afterthought. A six-figure accessory used as a casual grab is its own kind of statement.

Why Gray Beat Black

Black photographs flat under paparazzi flash. Gray holds shape and separates from a dark suit standing beside it. Notably, the pairing produced a two-tone image that reads instantly at thumbnail size — which is where most people saw it.

A Week of London Dinners

The premiere night was not an isolated appearance. Kendall Jenner London sightings ran across roughly a week, each one styled with the same restraint. Additionally, each produced its own set of images.

They dined at Cipriani earlier in the week, joined by Elordi’s father, John Elordi. For that outing, Jenner wore a cobalt button-down over a cropped white tee with pleated black trousers, pointed-toe pumps and a burgundy Kendall Jenner Chanel bag from the Maxi Flap line.

Saturday brought The River Café in Hammersmith, the Thames-side Italian institution open since 1987. Elordi wore a white T-shirt and black trousers. Meanwhile, the pair moved through photographers with security flanking them.

Why This Sighting Matters Now

Timing explains the volume. Jacob Elordi The Dog Stars coverage has run continuously since the film’s world premiere on August 20 in London, with critic reviews embargoed until August 25.

The Ridley Scott film is a post-apocalyptic drama adapted from Peter Heller’s 2012 novel, running one hour and 58 minutes. Variety’s review places Elordi alongside Josh Brolin, Margaret Qualley, Guy Pearce, Allison Janney and Benedict Wong. Qualley also made fashion news during the London premiere cycle when she debuted Chanel’s barefoot sandals.

Kendall Jenner Jacob Elordi dating coverage therefore rides a release cycle. Because the film opens wide today, the London images will resurface through the weekend. Both outcomes serve the studio.

Two Years of Deliberate Silence

Neither has confirmed anything on the record. Yet the sighting map tells the story: Coachella in April, Hawaii and Montecito in May, an Idaho lake trip with the Biebers, then Australia for Elordi’s birthday.

Kendall Jenner Jacob Elordi 2026 searches have climbed with each stop. Still, the couple has released no statement, no post, and no carpet appearance together. Privacy, handled this precisely, generates more coverage than confirmation would.

The wardrobe follows the same logic. Her recent looks sit close to the restraint documented across Kendall Jenner’s vintage style archive, and they belong to the same broader shift tracked in our celebrity style coverage.

What Happens Next

Awards season is the pressure point. Elordi has Wuthering Heights behind him and a widening prestige slate ahead, which means carpets between now and spring. Whether Jenner appears on one remains the open question.

Watch September instead. Paris and Milan run back-to-back, Jenner walks most seasons, and front-row seating charts reveal more than any statement. Runway Magazine will be tracking both cities.

José María Yazpik Interview: The Gringo Hunters, Narcos: Mexico and the Art of Complex Characters

José María Yazpik interview with RUNWAY Magazine about The Gringo Hunters and Narcos: Mexico
José María Yazpik discusses The Gringo Hunters, Narcos: Mexico, acting, personal style and what comes next.

In this exclusive José María Yazpik interview, the acclaimed Mexican actor opens up about building complex characters, returning to work in Mexico and stepping into the world of Netflix’s The Gringo Hunters. Yazpik portrays businessman Meyer-Rodriguez in the crime series, adding another morally layered character to a career that has repeatedly explored ambition, power and the complicated people who live between hero and villain.

For audiences around the world, Yazpik is also closely associated with his portrayal of Amado Carrillo Fuentes in Narcos and Narcos: Mexico. Yet his career reaches well beyond the crime genre. His approach to acting starts with character, instinct and authenticity. Sometimes that process begins with a script. At other times, as he tells RUNWAY, something as fundamental as wardrobe can help him discover who a character really is.

The conversation also reveals a more personal side of the actor. Yazpik recalls how watching Peter Sellers in The Pink Panther first planted the idea of becoming an actor. He talks about returning home to his family after demanding roles, the importance of exercise, meals with friends, golf and his decidedly concise answer when asked about his favorite red-carpet designer: Zegna.

José María Yazpik in 2026

Yazpik’s career has continued moving forward since this conversation was originally conducted. He now stars in Netflix’s science-fiction series Futuro Desierto, playing psychologist Alex in a story centered on humanoid androids, grief and the meaning of family.

He also appears opposite Marisa Tomei in You’re Dating a Narcissist! and returns to the Apocalypse Z universe in Apocalypse Z: New World. The sequel is scheduled to arrive globally on Prime Video for Halloween 2026.

Those projects make this conversation particularly revealing. Yazpik discusses not only where his career had taken him, but also the acting philosophy, instincts and personal priorities that continue to shape the work audiences are seeing today.

Editor’s Note: This interview was conducted before the release of some projects referenced by José María Yazpik. The original interview is presented below without alteration.

José María Yazpik on The Gringo Hunters

We are excited about the debut of the “Gringo Hunters” on NeClix. Tell our readers what it was like portraying a character based on the real-life Gringo Hunters?

I play Meyer-Rodriguez, a businessman trying to change

the face of Tijuana by building “Las Vegas type” casinos.

My character is fictional, but it was a lot of fun portraying

him. I grew up in Tijuana, so I know a couple of people that

are just like the character.

What drew you to accept the role of Meyer Rodriguez? Was it something you knew right away or did you need to live in the character before acceptng?

It was something I knew right away what to do and how to

play him. Sometimes it happens like that. You just fall right

into the skin of the character. I love when that happens.

What was it like filing primarily in Mexico?

I have been lucky enough to film in many countries around

the world, and I’m very thankful for that. But every time I get

to work in Mexico, it feels like I’ve come back to my family.

The crews in Mexico are one of the best in the world. They

are warriors and they are warm and funny as well. It is truly

a delight to work in Mexico. Also, you can’t beat sleeping

in your own bed after a hard

day’s work!

Narcos, Narcos: Mexico and Playing Complex Characters

What were some of your favorite experiences on Narcos and Narcos: Mexico? What is the process you go through when preparing for a complex role such as these?

I love playing bad guys! It’s just a lot more fun than being the hero. But in the case of Narcos, it was a weird experience all together because of the theme. I enjoyed playing Amado

Carrillo, but at the same time, it was a bittersweet feeling

because of all the pain these people inflicted on Mexico.

The Inspiration Behind José María Yazpik’s Acting Career

Did you know that you wanted to be an actor growing up? What inspired you to pursue

acting as a career?

The first time I saw Peter Sellers in the Pink Panther, I

fell in love with the idea of having fun playing different

characters. I saw my whole family laugh while watching

The Pink Panther, and I thought, what a gift this actor is

giving us!! So after that experience, the seed was planted.

With such an incredible actng career under your belt, would you have any words of wisdom or advice for anyone staring out as an actor?

Be true to yourself, be patient, be empathetic, be disciplined

and do it for the pure love of it.

Life Away From the Camera

What do you do to relax and unwind after playing such complex characters on camera?

I love being home with my family. Exercise always gets me

in a good mood. Eating with friends and family, it can be

out at a restaurant or making an asado at home. Also golf.

José María Yazpik on Fashion and Zegna

Who is your favorite designer to wear for red carpet events?

Zegna.

Does the wardrobe help you get into character? How does it differ from how you dress

when you’re not on set?

Wardrobe is a very important part of getting into character.

Sometimes, when I can’t find my way to a character, I’ll start

trying different things on, and that usually helps me. When

I’m on set, I generally wear comfortable clothes.

What’s Next for José María Yazpik?

What’s next for you?

“You’re Dating a Narcissist” is a romantic comedy I did opposite Marissa Tomai, and it will premier soon. Just finished filming “Apocalipse Z 2” this summer in Barcelona for Amazon Prime, and I’m writing my second script to direct, possibly next year.

Emmys 2026 Red Carpet: Date, Time and Everything to Expect

By
Runway Magazine Editorial Team
-
An empty red carpet and step-and-repeat outside a Los Angeles awards venue at dusk
The 78th Primetime Emmy Awards take place on Monday, September 14, 2026, at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.

The ceremony lands on September 14. New York Fashion Week runs September 10 to 15. Which means every stylist working this carpet has to be in two cities at once, and the clothes have to travel three thousand miles in the middle of a show schedule.

The Emmys 2026 red carpet takes place on Monday, September 14, at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. The 78th Primetime Emmy Awards begin at 8 p.m. ET and 5 p.m. PT, airing live on NBC and streaming on Peacock. Mariska Hargitay hosts.

When Is the Emmys 2026 Red Carpet?

Monday, September 14. Carpet arrivals typically begin roughly two hours before the broadcast, so expect first looks from around 3 p.m. PT.

The Monday scheduling is deliberate rather than traditional. Because NBC carries the broadcast, the ceremony moves off Sunday to avoid competing with Sunday Night Football — the same arrangement used in 2014, 2018 and 2022.

The venue is unchanged. The Peacock Theater in Downtown Los Angeles has hosted the ceremony for three consecutive years.

The Creative Arts Emmys run first, on September 5 and 6. Those two nights carry their own smaller carpet and honour technical and craft categories.

Key Takeaways

  • The 78th Primetime Emmy Awards take place Monday, September 14, 2026, at 8 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock.
  • Mariska Hargitay hosts, in NBC’s 100th anniversary year; nominations were announced July 8.
  • The ceremony falls inside New York Fashion Week, which runs September 10 to 15 — a genuine logistical problem for stylists.

How to Watch the Emmys

NBC carries it live coast to coast. Peacock streams it simultaneously, which means no delay for West Coast viewers.

That coast-to-coast live broadcast matters for fashion coverage. Carpet images circulate globally before the ceremony has finished, and the best-dressed conversation is largely settled within ninety minutes.

For international viewers, timings vary by market. UK audiences should expect a 1 a.m. start on the Tuesday morning.

Anyone searching how to watch the Emmys should note the Creative Arts nights separately. Those are broadcast later and generally receive far less carpet coverage, despite drawing genuine star attendance.

Why the Fashion Week Collision Matters

This is the part nobody is discussing, and it will shape what appears on the carpet.

Fashion month starts in New York on September 10. The Emmys are on the 14th, in Los Angeles. Milan and Paris follow immediately after.

Stylists therefore face a scheduling conflict at exactly the wrong moment. The people who pull red-carpet looks are the same people sitting front row at shows, and the houses lending those looks are in production for their own presentations.

The practical consequence is predictable. Expect more archive pulls and more pre-existing runway looks than custom pieces, because ateliers building spring/summer 2027 collections have limited capacity for bespoke commissions that week.

It also affects which houses appear. European labels showing in Milan or Paris in late September are less likely to prioritise an American television carpet, whereas American designers finishing their New York shows on the 15th have a direct incentive to dress nominees on the 14th.

Watch for that specifically. An unusually American carpet would be a direct result of the calendar rather than a coincidence.

What the Emmy Carpet Usually Does

The Emmys open awards season, and that gives the carpet a particular character.

It is less conservative than the Oscars. Television has a broader talent pool across more genres, so the range of dress runs wider — from full couture to genuinely experimental tailoring.

Emmy red carpet fashion also tends to test what the Golden Globes and Oscars later refine. A silhouette that appears here in September frequently dominates by March.

The colour question is the one to watch. Recent seasons have run heavily toward saturated jewel tones and structured tailoring, moving away from the soft neutrals that defined the quiet-luxury years — a shift already visible in Cannes this year.

Two approaches usually dominate. Some nominees choose visibility, in strong colour and dramatic construction; others choose restraint, which reads as confidence — the register Florence Pugh has built her carpet identity on.

The Categories Controversy

One change is worth understanding, because it affects who walks the carpet.

Five categories have been moved off the main NBC telecast to the Creative Arts Emmys 2026 nights. The decision has drawn substantial criticism from within the industry.

The argument against it is straightforward. Moving categories reduces on-air recognition for the people who win them, and it thins the ceremony’s talent pool.

For fashion coverage, the effect is real. Fewer categories on the main broadcast means fewer nominees with a reason to attend, which narrows the carpet.

Who to Watch

Nominations were announced on July 8, read by Jeff Hiller and Liza Colón-Zayas.

Taylor Swift holds five nominations for The Eras Tour: The Final Show, and she has been campaigning actively — including a private event for voters in Los Angeles in August, where she appeared in a Veronica Beard slip dress and a new collarbone-length cut. Her August appearance cycle also included a green Dôen dress at the Grammy Museum.

Hargitay’s own appearance carries weight. A host dresses several times across a broadcast, and her wardrobe will generate as much coverage as any nominee’s.

The broadcast marks NBC’s 100th anniversary, which suggests a heavier production and a longer carpet than recent years. Consequently, expect more archival and legacy-referencing looks than usual.

Frequently Asked Questions

What time does the Emmys 2026 red carpet start?

The 78th Primetime Emmy Awards begin at 8 p.m. ET and 5 p.m. PT on Monday, September 14, 2026. Red carpet arrivals typically start around two hours before the broadcast, so first looks generally appear from about 3 p.m. PT. Pre-show carpet coverage runs on NBC and Peacock.

Where are the 2026 Emmys being held?

The ceremony takes place at the Peacock Theater in Downtown Los Angeles, the venue that has hosted the Primetime Emmys for three consecutive years. The Creative Arts Emmys are held at the same venue on September 5 and 6, ahead of the main broadcast.

Who is hosting the 2026 Emmys?

Mariska Hargitay, best known as Captain Olivia Benson on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, hosts the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards. Her appointment was announced in July. The ceremony falls in NBC’s 100th anniversary year, and Jesse Collins Entertainment produces the broadcast.

What Comes Next

September 14 is the date to hold. Awards season 2026 formally begins that night, and everything through to the Oscars is measured against it.

Watch the calendar effect closely. If the carpet skews American, that is the fashion week collision doing its work.

The looks that land here set the direction for the next six months, which is why an Emmy carpet is worth more attention than its television ratings suggest.

New York Fashion Week 2026: The Complete September Schedule

By
Runway Magazine Editorial Team
-
An empty New York runway lit and waiting before a show during September Fashion Week
New York Fashion Week 2026 runs September 10 to 15, with roughly 70 shows on the official CFDA calendar

Seventy shows across six days, and the two that matter most sit at either end. One is a debut at a house older than most of the people attending. The other closes the week the way it has closed several before it.

New York Fashion Week 2026 runs Thursday, September 10 through Tuesday, September 15, showing Spring/Summer 2027 collections. The CFDA’s official schedule carries roughly 70 runway shows and presentations. Henry Zankov’s debut for Diane von Furstenberg opens the week, and Thom Browne closes it.

When Is New York Fashion Week 2026?

September 10 to 15. Those are the NYFW 2026 dates for the spring/summer 2027 American collections. For the previous season, see RUNWAY’s NYFW Fall/Winter 2026 schedule guide.

The Council of Fashion Designers of America sets them. The CFDA Fashion Calendar has been the sole organiser of the official schedule since it acquired the calendar in October 2014.

Roughly 70 shows and presentations sit on the preliminary list. Additional collections premiere by appointment and digitally, which means the real number of collections shown is considerably higher.

One important thing to understand: the official calendar is not the only one running that week. Several independent producers stage their own shows across the same dates, and those are the ones the public can actually attend.

For access options, see our guide to attending NYFW public events. For the season’s wider context, read our analysis of American heritage brands at September Fashion Week.

Key Takeaways

  • New York Fashion Week runs September 10 to 15, 2026, with roughly 70 shows on the CFDA official schedule.
  • Henry Zankov opens the week at 9:30 a.m. on September 10 with his debut for Diane von Furstenberg; Thom Browne closes at 5 p.m. on September 15.
  • Public tickets exist through independent producers such as The Bureau Fashion Week, starting from around $115.

The Schedule Opens and Closes With Two Big Statements

Zankov’s debut is the headline. He takes over as artistic director of Diane von Furstenberg, and opening day at 9:30 a.m. is the most scrutinised slot of the season.

The house matters here. DVF is one of American fashion’s most recognisable names, and a new creative director inheriting it is the kind of change the schedule is built around.

Thom Browne closes on the final evening. His shows are the most theatrical on the American calendar, and placing him last is a deliberate piece of programming.

Between them sits the bulk of the week. The official list includes Khaite, Carolina Herrera, Altuzarra, Anna Sui, Ulla Johnson, Prabal Gurung, Sergio Hudson, Todd Snyder, Sandy Liang, Magda Butrym, Area, COS, Diotima, Bibhu Mohapatra, Elena Velez, Norma Kamali and Fforme.

The Spring Summer 2027 collections shown that week are what reaches stores from roughly February onward. Consequently, the buying decisions made in New York in September shape what you can actually buy six months later.

Who Is Showing for the First Time

Ten designers appear on the official calendar for the first time. That is an unusually large intake.

The list includes Benjamin Seidler, Conner Ives, Grey’s by Emily Grey, High Sport by Alissa Zachary, Hikari no Yami by Jakarie Whitaker, Magda Butrym, Max Esmail, Patrick Taylor, Sabyasachi by Sabyasachi Mukherjee and Zaldy.

Sabyasachi is the significant name there. The Indian designer has built one of the most commercially powerful luxury businesses outside the Western system, and a New York calendar debut is a genuine milestone.

Zaldy is worth watching too. He created the original Victoria’s Secret wings and has spent decades in costume rather than ready-to-wear.

The CFDA Vogue Fashion Fund finalists also feature heavily. Bad Binch TongTong by Terrence Zhou, Jamie Haller and Milamore by George Inaki all appear for the first time, joining returning finalists Aisling Camps, Amir Taghi and Lii.

That intake is where the next decade of American fashion comes from. Historically, roughly one in five first-time calendar designers is still showing five seasons later.

The Shows That Land Before the Calendar Starts

A group of major names shows on September 9, the night before the official week opens.

Ralph Lauren presents his Spring 2027 collection. Coach shows alongside him, marking the brand’s 85th anniversary.

Rachel Comey marks her own 25th anniversary that evening. Cult Gaia and Libertine complete the pre-schedule group.

Harlem’s Fashion Row goes earlier still. Its 19th Annual Fashion Show and Style Awards runs September 8 at The Glasshouse, with Erykah Badu receiving the Fashion Icon Award and three designers debuting Spring/Summer 2027 collections.

Showing before the calendar is a strategic choice. Editors arrive rested, nothing competes for attention, and the coverage lands cleanly — an advantage explained in more detail in our breakdown of how the NYFW schedule is built and sequenced.

Where the Shows Actually Happen

New York spreads its week across neighbourhoods rather than concentrating it in one quarter.

Spring Studios NYFW activity centres on 50 Varick Street in Tribeca, the primary hub for ticketed runway shows. Gotham Hall at 1356 Broadway in Midtown hosts a further block.

Evening activations and press dinners cluster in the Meatpacking District and SoHo. Meanwhile, individual houses stage shows at venues across Manhattan and Brooklyn, often announced only days beforehand.

That dispersal is the defining difference from Milan and Paris. Unlike the concentrated European calendars, New York expects attendees to cross the city several times a day.

Can the Public Attend New York Fashion Week?

Yes, though not the official calendar. This is the single most misunderstood thing about the week.

CFDA-scheduled shows are industry, press and buyer access only. There is no public sale for Khaite, Thom Browne or Carolina Herrera, and anything advertised as such should be treated with suspicion.

Independent producers are the real route. Runway7 and hiTechMODA both stage ticketed public shows at venues including Gotham Hall, Sony Hall and the Edison Ballroom in Times Square.

The Bureau Fashion Week runs September 10 to 13 with 13 runway shows and more than 100 designers. NYFW tickets public buyers can actually purchase start from around $115.

hiTechMODA runs public shows on September 11 and 12 at the Edison Ballroom. Notably, these are entirely separate from the official calendar, and the designers showing are different.

Street style is the free option. The blocks around Spring Studios become their own event, and photographers work the sidewalks all week regardless of who holds an invitation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the New York Fashion Week 2026 dates?

New York Fashion Week runs Thursday, September 10 through Tuesday, September 15, 2026, presenting Spring/Summer 2027 collections. Several major brands including Ralph Lauren and Coach show on September 9, the evening before the official calendar begins. Harlem’s Fashion Row stages its show on September 8.

How do you get tickets to New York Fashion Week?

Official CFDA-calendar shows are not ticketed to the public — access is limited to press, buyers and invited guests. Independent producers including The Bureau Fashion Week, Runway7 and hiTechMODA sell public tickets for their own runway shows during the same week, with prices starting around $115.

Who is opening New York Fashion Week 2026?

Henry Zankov opens the official schedule at 9:30 a.m. on September 10 with his debut collection as artistic director of Diane von Furstenberg. It is his first show for the house and the most closely watched appointment of the American season. Thom Browne closes the week on September 15.

What Comes Next

London follows immediately, then Milan, then Paris. The European calendars run through early October, and the American collections are judged against them.

Watch the debut designers first. A first calendar appearance is a survival test as much as a creative one, and the intake this season is unusually strong.

The schedule remains preliminary until the week begins. Show times move, venues change, and additions appear late — so check before you plan anything around a specific slot.
