As New York Fashion Week comes to an end, the Spring/Summer 2026 collections delivered star-studded front rows and standout runway moments.

From Ralph Lauren’s timeless tailoring to Veronica Leoni’s bold Calvin Klein debut, Tory Burch’s refined elegance, Michael Kors’ breezy glamour, and Kendall Jenner’s surprise runway appearance at Khaite, here are the highlights from the season’s most talked-about shows.

Ralph Lauren

Ralph Lauren’s Spring 2026 woman embodied strength and sensuality, balancing minimalism with softness. Precise tailoring in black, white, and red created understated drama, while sundresses and gowns added ease and individuality. Sculptural silver jewellery, woven bags, and versatile shoes completed the lineup, which celebrated Ralph Lauren’s heritage in an intimate setting. The front row was pure Hollywood and music industry royalty, with Oprah, Usher, Priyanka Chopra, Nick Jonas, Naomi Watts, Mindy Kaling, and Laura Dern among the famous faces.

Michael Kors

Michael Kors embraced relaxed luxury with his SS26 collection. Offering earthy elegance and fluid ease, the show featured liquid draping, soft tailoring, and pieces designed to catch the summer breeze. Warm sunset tones, transparency, and the movement of fringe and tassels evoked a Mediterranean getaway. The collection epitomised pared-back glamour for women with innate elegance.

Calvin Klein

Veronica Leoni’s debut collection for Calvin Klein expanded on her “clothes for life” vision. Minimalism, modernity, and American sensibility defined the show, with trench coats, blazers, denim, and underwear-inspired pieces reimagined in neutrals with accents of scarlet and pink. Innovative textures in leather and technical fabrics added depth. The front row included Lily Collins, Emily Ratajkowski, and Chris Briney, cementing the show’s headline-grabbing status.

Khaite

Khaite once again proved to be one of New York Fashion Week’s most anticipated shows, marked by Kendall Jenner’s first runway appearance of the season. Designer Catherine Holstein presented a collection that epitomised New York glamour with leather jackets, slinky dresses, and denim – wardrobe staples reinvented with elevated luxury and subtle twists. The collection captured the spirit of the city in its most stylish form.

Tory Burch

Tory Burch’s eagerly awaited show closed the week off with a masterclass in contrasts, exploring the duality of femininity and strength. American sportswear icons, such as polos and trenches, were juxtaposed with romantic drop-waist dresses and leather tailoring. Textures played with imperfection, distressed fabrics balanced against refined materials, while hand-beaded cardigans and embroidered monograms showcased artisanal craft. Accessories included refreshed Radziwill bags, vintage-inspired pumps, and rococo jewellery. The front row glittered with stars, including Ciara, Jessica Alba, Naomi Watts, and Emma Roberts.
