Fashion Month has officially arrived, ushering in a flurry of fresh collections, emerging trends and, naturally, a front-row seat to celebrity sightings.
New York kicks off the month and, while we’re still soaking up late-summer sun in Australia, the street style there is moving to a colder rhythm.
The city’s recent arctic chill may have loosened its grip, but the fashion crowd is still wrapped in plush coats and layered knits as they flit between shows from Ralph Lauren and Tory Burch to Michael Kors and Khaite, offering those of us in the southern hemisphere a timely preview of the season ahead.
Marc Jacobs set the tone early with a theatrical show at the Park Avenue Armory, drawing a front row that included Sofia Coppola, Monica, Julia Fox and Anna Sui. With more heavy hitters from American fashion still to come, the week is shaping up to be a star-studded affair.
On the streets, a clear visual language is already emerging. Texture and fringing abound, antique-leaning details like statement brooches are enjoying a modern revival, and beloved Y2K bag silhouettes are back in refreshed form.
Ballet- and boxing-inspired sneakers, funnel-neck jackets, pillbox hats and newsboy caps are all staking their claim as the season’s defining accessories.
Scroll on for the best New York Fashion Week street style from Fall 2026.
