The past two days have seen many of New York’s most exciting shows: Tory Burch, Zankov, Diotima, and more. Our phones are bursting with quick photos and videos we just couldn’t resist capturing—and we’re starting to notice certain consistencies. A few days in, the themes are really starting to cement themselves. Ahead, we’re cataloguing the trends we’re eyeing, along with heartfelt moments and exciting pieces.

A Proud Mother at Cos

As per our predictions, Kai Schreiber has been in demand this New York Fashion Week, walking for Altuzarra and opening for Jason Wu. But when she walked for Cos, something extra special happened: Naomi Watts sat front row to watch her 16-year old daughter in action. It was quite touching, almost like a megawatt dance recital.

Dot Dot Dot

Batsheva Hay held a low-key reception at downtown hot spot Jean’s for her namesake brand. One model wore a sweet brown dress with a column skirt, a full collar, and a print that is continuing a trend we’ve spotted everywhere: polka dots. This follows their emergence at Khaite and Altuzarra this week.

Gwyneth Paltrow Comes to NYFW

Gwyneth Paltrow has been dabbling in the clothing arena via Goop’s G Label for years. This season, she’s brought its next iteration, GWYN, to Fashion Week. On Sunday, she presented an array of smart, chic separates in grey, navy, and black—all things she would likely wear today.

Tory Burch’s Lovely Twisted Ladies

Tory Burch has a special way of turning ladylike archetypes on their head, making twenty- and sixty-somethings alike lust after her quirky pairings. This season, we’re particularly bewitched by clingy polos, column skirts, and wacky accessories in the form of pendant necklaces and statement belts.

All Smiles at Zankov

It’s a special feeling to smile at a fashion show; it reminds you why we do this in the first place. Zankov brought genuine joy to showgoers with his perfectly mismatched knits. He layered fringed cardigans over striped knits and clingy dresses over mussed shirting, all accentuated with A+ styling in the form of big baubles.

Dandelion Yellow Jacquard at Colleen Allen

Emerging designer Colleen Allen has quickly become a fashion darling since launching her own brand in 2024. This season, she toned the witchiness down—just a hair—in favor of really wearable, yet still quintessentially odd pieces. Our favorite? A dandelion yellow silk jacquard slip dress with ruched detailing at the back—just wait until you see the opera coat.

See Now Buy Now at Coach

For Spring 2026, Stuart Vevers at Coach showed yet another array of wonderfully wearable, sophisticatedly youthful clothing. One added bonus this season? A see-now-buy-now element. You can shop Coach’s Kisslock Barrel bag directly from the runway.
