Across the Pond with Conner Ives

September 16, 2026

American designer Conner Ives made his New York Fashion Week debut for Spring/Summer 2027 with a homecoming collection called Across the Pond.

Across the Pond, Conner Ives’ SS27 collection, marked his return to the United States after nearly a decade of showing in London. The collection centred on the theme of “Flamboyance!”, described by Ives as the drama of coming home and the unique pride of being American. It also reflected his complicated relationship with his home country. Key looks included dishevelled, power-lunch-inspired Wall Street suits created in collaboration with Gieves & Hawkes, alongside statement T-shirts featuring the phrase “Bring Back Shame.” The runway featured Lila Moss, Iris Law, and Hari Nef, with Kim Cattrall in the front row.

Literary Sport Spring/Summer 26

February 19, 2026

Literary Sport introduces its Spring/Summer 2026 collection, shot at the Amalia Hernández House by Agustín Hernández Navarro. The campaign reflects the brand’s steady evolution, grounded in its core codes while subtly pushing them forward.

Seasonal hues of verdant green and scarlet red are layered with brown, navy, grey, black, and bone. Oversized proportions define everyday staples, from T-shirts to sweatpants, alongside the brand’s reinterpretation of a 1930s Japanese car coat. Reworked in nylon rather than traditional leather, the piece brings a contemporary, athleisure-inflected sensibility to a classic silhouette. This season also marks an expansion of the brand’s universe, with the introduction of accessories such as merino wool socks and a running beanie, signaling a broader, more considered vision from Literary Sport.

KIM SHUI Fall/Winter 2026

February 19, 2026

On February 15 in New York City, Kim Shui presented her Fall/Winter 2026 collection aboard the Eternity Yacht, staging 41 looks against the city’s shifting skyline. Timed just before the Lunar calendar turns to the Year of the Fire Horse, the show marked the opening chapter of the brand’s tenth year. Set on water rather than on land, the presentation centred on motion: both physical and conceptual. Reflecting Shui’s exploration of Qi as a force of intention, memory, and transformation.

Drawing from the migratory history of Mongolia, the collection examined culture shaped by movement across terrain where craft and identity travel and adapt. Early looks emphasized protection and weight, in velvet, felt, suede, leather, and faux fur. As the show progressed, pieces shifted toward metallic gold and silver finishes.

The staging highlighted the theme of movement. The yacht operated as a contemporary analogue to the horse, and a live guzheng performance by Nico Huzella, transitioned into Massive Attack’s “Angel," allowing guests to experience the show within this shifting environment, reinforcing Shui’s premise that progress does not require fixed ground.

Casting continued the commitment to representation, bringing together a range of bodies and identities that reflect Shui’s view of femininity as layered and evolving.
