Between runway shows, designer showrooms, and obviously a few outfit changes (you can shop everything I wore here), I came away from the week with five trends that fully delivered. Below, I'm breaking down each one—the looks that had me mentally styling outfits mid-show (I'll be dreaming of the fringe bags and taffeta pants from the Chan Luu presentation at Sotheby’s...forever?), how I'll be wearing them, and a few BTS moments from my camera roll. Tacos and all.

“The Tory Burch runway challenged how I’m thinking about color. The collection layered these incredible contrast pairings: deep violet, peach, brick red, buttery yellow, and it felt so new and so smart. Ulla Johnson took a totally different approach, pairing sorbet-colored, muted pastels together—like a muted olive trouser with a contrasting lavender sweater.

What really elevated everything was the texture play: sheer fabrications that added dimension, and rich satins against structured knits and tailoring. Every pairing felt fresh and intentional. For fall, I’m taking that same idea and running with it—a bright red paired back to a deep, saturated purple, and playing with different textures within that combination to keep it interesting.”

“Jacquard felt especially notable this season—designers like STAUD, St. Agni, and Tory Burch used it almost like a print. Proenza Schouler’s graphic jacquard zebra pieces had major impact, while Kallmeyer showcased a jacquard plaid with raised texture built right into the fabric. The subtle dimensionality is so good—it has this old-world, vintage luxury quality to it, but updated in fun, unexpected palettes that make it feel completely fresh.

For styling, it’s all about letting texture be the star. I’ll be pairing mine with relaxed denim, anything leather, or a simple knit to let the fabric have a moment. I also love matching it back to an accessory—a jacquard shoe and bag together feels so intentional and elevated.”

“What feels different this season is the attitude around embellishment. It’s less about making one piece ‘fancy’ and more about adding texture and personality to something you’d wear every day, which I’m all about. Chunky stones are having a moment and this season’s options are amazing. STAUD’s collection was full of intricate embellishment and these gorgeous, collector-like accessories, while Kallmeyer used beading as an actual textile technique.

I’m obsessed with the playfulness: layered strands, delicate beadwork paired back to a tee, a technicolor beaded bag with denim. This fall I’ll be mixing beading colors, lengths, and materials rather than trying to make everything perfectly coordinate. Intentional clashing is everything.”

"What I love about our team's Fashion Week style is how everyone reps trends in a way that feels totally authentic to their POV! My red tank and bright pink trousers are a perfect example—I always love a bold color moment. Our Fashion Director of Accessories, Kate Johanson, opted for a pop-of-red sweater tied around her waist which doubles as a belt (such a good styling trick). Our Chief Merchandising Officer, Steph Roberson, gave a pro lesson in pairing a light pastel (which we've clearly been seeing all over the SS27 runways!) with foundational brown. I'm obsessed with everyone’s looks, which prove you can always trust color to make a major statement.”

“After a morning of shows and running around the city, a chicken taco from Los Tacos is exactly what I want! It’s the only answer when you need to reset and get back out there for more shows. And if there’s one thing I love, it’s layering (not just limited to outerwear)—that means ALL the toppings.”

“Sometimes the best color inspiration isn't on a mood board—it’s sitting in a vase at our market appointments! I can’t get enough of saturated reds with tropical greens, bright corals and bold fuschias, and even the softer dusty mauves which I fully plan to add to my fall rotation.”
