Ralph Lauren presented his spring/summer collection 2026 a few hours before the official start of New York Fashion Week. It was described as “minimalist” with a touch of “gentleness” and combines waisted suits with flowing clothes.
As a backdrop, the American designer chose his office on the prestigious Madison Avenue. According to the intention, this corresponds to a “back to the roots”. Under the eyes of actresses such as Jessica Chastain and Naomi Watts as well as singers such as Usher and Nick Jonas, simple outfits were shown in black, white and red. The only patterns were stripes and some flowers. Strict jackets, worn above a bra, changed with airy or body -close clothes and wide trousers.
In the accessories, soft hats with a wide brim, oversized and silver jewelry, structured pockets and shoes were seen at all heights.
The New York Fashion Week officially begins on Thursday morning with the veteran Michael Kors. By September 16, Calvin Klein, Coach and Tory Burch will follow.
The return of Alexander Wang to the calendar is remarkable. Its brand celebrates its twenty years. But there are also some cancellations: Carolina Herrera shows her collection on September 18 in Madrid. Marc Jacobs already presented his collection in July. Proenza Schouler was already in the program on Wednesday. Celebrities are expected from the young guard at Luar or Laquan Smith who can attract stars such as Beyoncé and Madonna.
The New York Fashion Week, which takes place in February and September, has lost ride compared to its European counterparts. A reform is planned for 2027. The announced measures include material support for young designers in organizing fashion shows in special places, events for the general public and the search for public funding.
