Light in Motion Review of Ulla Johnson Fall 2026 Fashion Show By Mackenzie Richard Zuckerman Fall 2026 marked a subtle but meaningful expansion for Ulla Johnson. Alongside the runway collection came the debut of fragrance – an evolution framed not as product launch, but as philosophy. In a text written for the season, Susan Orlean described scent as the first layer we choose to wear: invisible, intimate, communicative. That idea set the tone. This was a collection concerned not only with how a woman looks, but how she inhabits herself. Johnson returned to a familiar duality – strength and softness – but this time it felt consciously distilled and fully realized. Supple knitwear brushed against structured metallic skirts. Pale, washed hues met sharper flashes of silver. Even...

It was the night before Valentine’s Day, and Christian Cowan had hearts in his eyes. “I just really, really, really love this collection. I went about it in a very different way to what I’ve done before,” he said.One marked difference was the luxury of time—and the creative freedom borne from not feeling so rushed. Cowan, standing in a stairwell in a studio in West Chelsea before his show, said it’s never been harder to be a young, independent brand with the rising cost of, well, everything. (When the music briefly cut out later, before his models’ finale walk, that reality came to mind.)But slowing down to really revel in the storytelling served Cowan well—perhaps it was influenced by recently creating Broadway costumes for the first time, and also working on wardrobing a film that will c...

Starbucks (NasdaqGS:SBUX) is partnering with fashion designers for Fashion Week to refresh its brand and reach younger consumers. The company is serving as an exclusive coffee partner at Fashion Week events, integrating its products into runway shows and pop up experiences.

This kind of partnership highlights how the company is trying to keep its brand culturally visible and relevant t...

This year, it really felt as though winter would never end. I’m much more of a summer person, so for me it’s truly dragged. I know it’s still grey and rainy out there, but I’ve set my sights on spring and have been daydreaming about warmer weather that is sure to come with it.I’ve already packed away my heavy coats in favour of trench coats and chic jackets, and swapped boots for ballet flats and loafers—determined to dress for the weather I want rather than the weather we actually have (although I’ll admit, they're not always the most practical choice in a downpour). With that mindset, I’m already thinking ahead to a fresh roster of spring looks.Lately, I’ve taken a more considered approach to my style, gravitating towards a timeless capsule wardrobe over anything overly trend-led.

Photo-Illustration: by The Cut; Photos: Courtesy of Ashlyn, Michael Kors, Carolina Herrera On Thursday night, Michael Kors marked a milestone — 45 years in the rag trade — in a New York kind of way: He showed his latest collection on the Grand Tier of the Metropolitan Opera, before the Chagall murals, and then invited everyone to P.J. Clarke’s across the street. “A hamburger and a martini!” a jubilant Kors said on his way into the bar. Even when his career was in the dumps, many years ago, and he seemed on the verge of losing it, Kors was enthralled with New York, the image of women in slacks and a turtleneck, the dinner suit, and the opening night gown in red silk knotted simply on one shoulder. When asked if the anniversary had influe...

Models walk the runway during the Tory Burch Fall 2026 Collection fashion show in New York, on February 11, 2026. (Photo by CHARLY TRIBALLEAU / AFP via Getty Images)AFP via Getty ImagesAfter a couple of seasons hosting her runway shows in Brooklyn, Tory Burch returned uptown for her fall 2026 collection. For one night only, she took over the new Sotheby’s headquarters on Madison Avenue, the former Whitney Museum turned Met Breuer Museum, and until recently the temporary home of The Frick Collection. The Upper East Side zip code is especially fitting for the fall 2026 show as the collection was centered on finding comfort in fashion. And uptown is familiar territory for Tory Burch, the brand and the woman behind the brand. What does comfort mean for Tory Burch? It’s the feel of her father’...

“Daydream” came to life inside Maxfield Thursday night in Los Angeles, where imagination met the scene. And the space was packed. The immersive Nahmias pop-up is the latest expression from designer Doni Nahmias, who transformed the retailer’s Jean Prouvé Structure Nomade in the courtyard into a fully realized extension of his world. Graphic cartoon screens played on the bold, block-lettered language of the Cartoon Network logo — reworked with Nahmias’ own original animations — while familiar ’90s references, including nods to “Johnny Bravo,” flickered across stacked monitors. Oversize crochet installations hung overhead, and an interactive vending concept invited guests into the experience, where a $100 token could be exchanged for a surprise accessory ranging from crochet dog ke...
