A Fashion-Packed Weekend in New York
New York was buzzing as big names like Anna Sui, Altuzarra, Calvin Klein, and Khaite revealed their Spring/Summer 2026 collections. Fashion insiders, celebrities and style-watchers crowded the shows to see what’s next.
Calvin Klein: Monochrome Minimalism With Impact
At Calvin Klein, clean lines and monochrome shades ruled. The collection was defined by precision tailoring, sharp cuts, and almost architectural simplicity. Whether it was all-white ensembles or tonal shades, the designs spoke with clarity: minimal isn’t minimal if it commands attention.
Khaite: Utilitarian Details, Sculpted Softness
The Khaite show was a theatrical feast, designed by architect Griffin Frazen, husband of founder Catherine Holstein. The setting featured a reflecting pool, scattered wooden planks reminiscent of icebergs, and smoke rising from beneath the stage. This immersive atmosphere never distracted from the clothes but only heightened their presence.
The collection opened with an androgynous silhouette, where an asymmetrical leather jacket paired with denim trousers set the tone. It closed with high drama as a fringed top appeared over a voluminous polka-dot skirt. Between these moments, the show balanced rigid silhouettes with hand-crafted softness: pony-hair trousers worn low, sheer blouses with embellishments, sharply cut denim skirts with carefully rolled hems, and knitwear that was both chunky and intricate. Even the staple leather jackets lined with shearling transcended utility, becoming true objects of desire.
