Revealed on February 14 at New York’s Park Avenue Armory, Fall/Winter 2026 is a synthesis of art and artifice, truth and illusion. The collection takes cues from Orson Welles’ 1973 documentary F is Fake (1973), interrogating authorship while embracing the trickster. A layered approach allows questions to intersect and linger: What is real? What is constructed? What is fit?
Silhouettes blur the tenuous lines between eras, uniting the velvet insouciance of the 1970s with the high-volume precision of the early 1980s. Napoleonic gestures—assertive shoulders, swagged and knotted cording, disciplined closures—are tempered by the assured sensuality of New York women. A new tuxedo emerges, its longer lines inviting undone ease with commanding authority. Between tailoring and drape lives style, and the endless possibility of self-invention.

Conceived by Griffin Frazen, the show environment was activated by a monumental, multi-panel LED display studded with dynamic letterforms that cascaded into questions, statements, and commands: now are you here; here you are now; what makes something real; release me. Intimate musings unfolded on a vast scale and at a sharp angle, atonce direct and destabilizing.

Texture and technique reach new heights, blurring the distinction between utility and ornament. A painterly nature unites embroidery and lyrical prints inspired by the canvases of Milton Avery. Flemish lace is shadowed by organza. Wallet chains fasten and dangle with intention, functional yet subversive. Artisan touches abound, from leather insets and hand-finished edges to graphic intarsia furs, rewarding a second look.
