The Best Fashion Exhibits to See in April 2026

Fashion designer Gabriela Hearst partnered with artist Adam Pendleton to create a limited-edition collection of 25 unique Nina handbags, benefiting the Nina Simone Childhood Home. Each bag—originally named for activist and musician Nina Simone when the style first launched in 2015—is hand-painted and signed, part accessory and part sculpture. The pieces are on display at the Sotheby’s Salon in New York through April 26 and available for purchase exclusively through Sotheby’s, a supporter of Simone’s home restoration project.
