Overview

• The SS26 shows concluded Tuesday after six days with nearly 60 brands on the schedule, consolidating the season’s themes and takeaways.
• Retail-minded moves stood out as COS ran a see-now, buy-now F/W 2025 collection with pieces continuing to drop online.
• Coach’s Spring 2026, described by Stuart Vevers as balancing polish with grit, highlighted treated leathers, tailored workwear, and refreshed Kisslock bags and sneakers.
• Tory Burch’s widely covered S/S 2026 emphasized femininity, strength, and precision tailoring with low-slung waists, midi skirts, embellished pumps, and hand-beaded finishes.
• Editors flagged unified trend signals: bold color-blocking with unexpected pairings, pastel eyes and chromatic lashes, scarf-tied hair tucks and kerchiefs, plus street-style turns in cropped jackets, balloon pants, pillbox hats, and argyle knits, while Alexander Wang’s New York return drew notable attention.
