Week 2 (Sep 08 – Sep 14) (2026/09/08 to 2026/09/14)
At New York Fashion Week, Michael Kors SS27 distilled the brand's polished American ease into a wardrobe of tailored safari jackets, fluid linen trousers and metallic knit dresses. The collection balanced pragmatic city dressing with a sun-warmed sense of escape, reaffirming Kors's command of commercial luxury with broad international appeal.
Tommy Hilfiger staged a theatrical New York runway aboard a historic Hudson River ferry, using the city's maritime past as a backdrop for a collection that refined prep into something sharper, lighter and more globally attuned. The show balanced heritage codes - stripes, blazers, deck shoes and navy tailoring - with technical fabrics, softened proportions and a distinctly contemporary sense of movement. Against the river and skyline, the brand presented a polished argument for American sportswear's continuing relevance: less nostalgic costume than adaptable wardrobe, engineered for a life that moves between city, coast and commerce.
On the Lido, the Venice Film Festival's red carpet once again served as couture's most exacting public stage, where precision tailoring and theatrical silhouette met the glare of international cinema. This year, Chanel, Schiaparelli and Armani Privé delivered a study in disciplined glamour, each house translating its own codes into gowns that felt both ceremonial and contemporary.
