As New York Fashion Week wraps up, the city has once again proven itself a global fashion hub, setting the tone for the rest of fashion month. This season, SS/25 brought a dynamic mix of fresh styles, reinvigorated classics, and celebrity moments that lit up both the runway and the city.
Mainstay brands like Polo Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger leaned into their heritage, offering reimagined versions of timeless classics with a modern twist. Ralph Lauren’s show was a celebration of American elegance, while Tommy Hilfiger balanced preppy aesthetics with contemporary flair. A special highlight was Naomi Campbell's appearance for Ralph Lauren, reminding us of the lasting power of iconic supermodels on the runway.
Off-White made headlines, not just for its bold red hues and star motifs, but for the fact that this marked the brand’s first time showing in New York. Typically a Paris Fashion Week fixture, Off-White’s debut in the Big Apple coincided with another major event—the U.S. Open. The overlap brought out a star-studded crowd, with fashion and entertainment elites attending both events, adding to the city's high-energy atmosphere.
Carolina Herrera, meanwhile, delivered a collection filled with playful polka dots and a vibrant yellow shade that echoed the unmistakable color of New York City taxis—bringing a sense of fun and city chic to the spring/summer collection.
With so many high-profile moments and standout trends, New York Fashion Week SS/25 has set a high bar, making us eager to see how the rest of fashion month will unfold.
