New York Fashion Week offers a glimpse into the state of American fashion, marked by major debuts, absences, and shake-ups. With creative director departures, brands like Proenza Schouler and Helmut Lang skipped the schedule, while others, including Tommy Hilfiger, opted out entirely.
Despite a pared-down lineup, theatrical moments emerged, from Marc Jacobs’ dramatic silhouettes to Christian Siriano’s automotive-inspired designs. Meanwhile, Calvin Klein’s return to the runway under Veronica Leoni embraced sleek, wearable business casual with fluid tailoring and airy silk pieces.
