The Season of New Beginnings. And Lasting Appeal.

Last September and October, the Spring 2026 runway shows were an epic season of an unprecendented number of designer debuts. 

As the hype dies down, the expectation wanes, and the reality sets in, it’s my job to cut through the clutter and see what sticks. The real magic happens in the showrooms. 

I look at every item we buy as an investment. It needs to be of the moment, but add value to your wardrobe for years to come. It needs to work in endless ways, be a beacon of possibilities. 

Can a beautiful white shirt be black tie with a ball skirt and statement jewelry, meeting-ready under a tailored-suit, movie night with jeans AND a beach cover up? If the answer is a “yes”…I say buy it.

No one loves a train more than I do (and apparently Pierpalo Piccoli at Balenciaga). If you have to ask “but will I ever wear a train?”, I say:

1) You should…and

2) Then cut it off and make a matching scarf

The point is this: let the runway excite you, inspire you to think in new ways, and then let us help you make it work. For you.

Here is what I loved this season. I hope you do too.

With Gratitude,
