I’m Recreating These 9 Minimalist Street Style Outfits From New York Fashion Week

When Staff Writer Meguire Hennes asked me what makes New York Fashion Week so special, I told her it has everything to do with the street style scene. Having attended 10 NYFW seasons already, I’ve seen just about every kind of outfit under the sun—from loud ones that cause a paparazzi frenzy to quiet ones that fly under the radar. Because I’m a staunch minimalist, I’m more partial toward the latter.

One of my favorite streamlined outfits spotted outside the Fall 2026 shows belongs to none other than the First Lady of New York City, Rama Duwaji. Styled by Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, she arrived at Diotima wearing a khaki trench coat as a dress under another trench, grounded in black heeled boots, a leather bag, and thin hoop earrings.
