Designer Joseph Altuzarra leaned into body-skimming silhouettes, sharp-shouldered tailoring and fluid satin separates that felt equal parts polished and undone. Standout moments came in the form of slinky knit dresses, cinched waists and luxe outerwear – think belted leather trenches and enveloping wool coats in a palette of espresso, slate and deep plum. Elevated yet wearable, it was a collection designed for the woman who wants her wardrobe to work hard but still turn heads. *Visit* [ALTUZARRA.COM](https://altuzarra.com/) [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/J8xEIY0frZWBPQH8P4SVgFisfQY=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F02%2Fsl-170226-nyfw-highlights-altuzarra-2.jpg) ](https://altuzarra.com/) Altuzarra ## Khaite Khaite delivered another masterclass in elevated minimalism for AW26, with Catherine Holstein leaning into the brand’s signature cool-girl edge. The show was rich in texture and attitude – think snakeskin leather gloves, black leather trousers and a standout micro croc skirt that brought a subtle hit of glamour. Balancing the toughness were fluid, body-skimming dresses that moved beautifully down the runway, adding softness to the collection’s sharp sophistication. Effortlessly modern and undeniably luxe, it was Khaite at its best. *Visit* [KHAITE.COM](https://khaite.com/) [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/m4mGGEDPy2h7fHPpXEPFPuIwWSg=/1920x0/smart/filters:no_upscale()/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F02%2Fsl-170226-nyfw-highlights-khaite.jpg) ](https://khaite.com/) Khaite/Hanna Tveite ## Tory Burch Tory Burch delivered a quietly striking AW26 collection, where familiar wardrobe codes were elevated with sculptural detail. Knits were paired with sharp pencil skirts to create an elongated, confident line, while classic staples were thoughtfully reinterpreted, most notably in the trench, which returned with softened structure and subtle shifts in proportion. Rounded coats, some layered with intricate metallic badla embroidery hand-done by artisans in India, brought texture and artistry to the forefront. Elsewhere, dresses were twisted and knotted around the body, sculpting the figure in a way that felt effortless rather than overt. It was a collection rooted in timelessness, elevated through detail and design. *Visit* [TORYBURCH.COM](https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=etT1jgERWYw&mid=43654&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.toryburch.com%2Fen-gb%2F) [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/i6S3ht7mov19x-v0RxT35ra8exs=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F02%2Fsl-170226-nyfw-highlights-tory-burch-2.jpg) ](https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=etT1jgERWYw&mid=43654&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.toryburch.com%2Fen-gb%2F) Tory Burch [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/6GdXr-83Ru_LS7_C0hZemjleY-8=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F02%2Fsl-170226-nyfw-highlights-tory-burch-1.jpg) ](https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=etT1jgERWYw&mid=43654&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.toryburch.com%2Fen-gb%2F) Tory Burch ## Michael Kors Michael Kors celebrated 45 years of ‘New York chic’ with a dazzling AW26 show that perfectly captured his signature grit-meets-glamour balance. Wool and fur coats teamed with sharp tailoring felt fresh and modern, while monochromatic sweaters and cashmere sweater dresses delivered effortless polish without ever feeling too precious. Eveningwear dialled up the drama, trousers styled with sweeping capes, oversized shirting paired with extravagant skirts, and cocktail dresses finished with wrap-like trains. Add in feathered bags and luxe accessories, and it was classic Kors: confident, glamorous and unapologetically Manhattan. *Visit* [MICHAELKORS.CO.UK](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=7166&awinaffid=69421&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.michaelkors.co.uk%2F) [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/WEekEVhu3vMoV7foPSYladSt8RQ=/1920x0/smart/filters:no_upscale()/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F02%2Fsl-170226-nyfw-highlights-michael-kors.jpg) ](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=7166&awinaffid=69421&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.michaelkors.co.uk%2F) Michael Kors [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/15pKSifoalTdfEaU2LRqPdy66Lo=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F02%2Fsl-170226-nyfw-highlights-marc-jacobs-1.jpg) ](https://www.marcjacobs.com/gb-en/homepage) Marc Jacobs ## Marc Jacobs For AW26, Marc Jacobs took a more refined approach to drama. The collection was chic and considered, with sculpted skirts and streamlined dresses creating a sharp, almost architectural line through the body. Co-ords were a standout – styled with precision and just enough edge to keep things interesting. Coats, meanwhile, were worn backwards, a simple but striking twist that gave familiar tailoring a fresh perspective. It was Jacobs at his most directional: modern, intelligent and completely compelling. *Visit* [MARCJACOBS.COM](https://www.marcjacobs.com/gb-en/homepage) [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/MQSwlJrGXWnOvEvMtZ4SD0L8SrQ=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F02%2Fsl-170226-nyfw-highlights-marc-jacobs-2.jpg) ](https://www.marcjacobs.com/gb-en/homepage) Marc Jacobs ## Calvin Klein For AW26, Calvin Klein delivered a lesson in modern minimalism. Clean lines and precise tailoring set the tone, with razor-sharp suiting, streamlined coats and fluid slip dresses dominating the runway. The palette stayed true to Klein’s DNA, think black, charcoal, cream and soft neutrals – allowing the focus to remain on cut and construction. Subtle sensuality came through in body-skimming silhouettes and barely-there layering, while elevated knitwear and relaxed separates added an effortless, everyday appeal. Understated yet powerful, it was a reminder that when it comes to refined minimalism, Calvin Klein still leads the conversation. *Visit* [CALVINKLEIN.CO.UK](https://www.calvinklein.co.uk/) [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/u5W1oFmss4qYLEvF2X8nb7lXZS0=/1920x0/smart/filters:no_upscale()/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F02%2Fsl-170226-nyfw-highlights-calvin-klein-1.jpg) ](https://www.calvinklein.co.uk/) Calvin Klein ## Proenza Schouler Proenza Schouler’s AW26 show signalled a fresh era for the New York label, with newly appointed creative director Rachel Scott – the talent behind cult favourite Diotima – making her highly anticipated debut. Standout pieces included twisted silhouettes of gowns that wrapped and spiralled around the body, lending a sculptural, almost undone elegance to eveningwear. Fringed shoes injected subtle movement and texture, nodding to Scott’s craft-led sensibility, while sharply structured co-ords – cut with precision and styled with minimal fuss – grounded the collection in the brand’s signature downtown polish. *Visit* [PROENZASCHOULER.COM](https://www.proenzaschouler.com/) [
