New York Fashion Week (NYFW) fall 2026 is only a few days away. And this NYFW promises to be different. What hasn’t changed is not having a single venue where most of the fashion shows or presentations are housed.

Still, there is change afoot. And that change includes the realization that many alleged fashion influencers are only promoting themselves and their brand. That doesn’t mean that fashion designers/brands are moving completely away from fashion influencers. It does mean that designers/brand are using a lot more scrutiny, only connecting to influencers that are true fashion industry professionals.

Though Ralph Lauren announced a few seasons ago that influencers were no longer welcome at his shows/presentations. I believe this statement was taken out of context. There is a place for fashion influencers. They do add value to brands, but only if they are deeply embedded in the fashion industry.

For NYFW fall 2026 there are several well-known designers/brands that are not showing. This list includes Marc Jacobs, Tommy Hilfiger, Monse, Sally LaPointe, Ralph Lauren, Alexander Wang, Brandon Maxwell, and Jason Wu. This absence of key players is an indication of how NYFW has lost some of its prestige and glamor. The CFDA needs to come up with a strategy to circumvent the bleed of top fashion designers/brands from NYFW before NYFW goes the way of Los Angeles Fashion Week, a fashion week that no longer attracts any international or global brands.

That said, there are fashion designers/brands that are debuting at the NYFW fall 2026 season, and this include but is not limited to 7 For All Mankind by creative director Nicola Brognano, Alix of Bohemia, Andrew Curwen, Caroline Zimbalist, Contessa Mills, MANY, TAABE DESIGNS, Cult Gaia, Hilá, J. Press, Jasper, Mel Usine, Menyelek, Ossou, Pipenco, Moshe Yossel, and Veejay Floresca. In addition to this influx of NYFW debuts, Public School returns to the NYFW calendar. Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne continue to helm Public School. And lastly, the Derek Lam Collection returns to NYFW. After Derek Lam left his eponymous brand in 2023, there was concern if the well-loved brand would continue. Robert Rodriquez has assumed the creative directorship of the Derek Lam Collection after dissolving his namesake brand in 2020.

Fashion Reverie will be primed and ready to bring our viewers all the happenings at NYFW. NYFW takes place on February 11 through February 16. Stay tuned!!

2026 Winter Olympians with Style

February 4, 2026 by admin Leave a Comment

As the 2026 Winter Olympics unfold in Milan-Cortina, it’s time to drop the image of sweaty athletes testing their strength and replace it with the polished looks many of the sports enthusiasts’ wear. The games don’t just showcase the world’s greatest athletes, though; there is plenty of that. Many Olympians also have an incredible and distinct style that is uniquely theirs. From fashion statements in figure skating to unique outfits outside of the games, here are 2026 Winter Olympians whose style we’re so excited to see.

Lindsey Vonn

The American Ski legend is set to continue competing even on a torn ACL this coming season. But it isn’t her raw athleticism we’re paying attention to; it’s her signature style. From glamour campaigns in WWD and perfectly pressed suits off the slopes, Lindsey Vonn seamlessly blends high fashion with professionalism.

Vonn also has a fashion line V Capsule by Vonn. This collection is designed in Milan and made in Italy. The collection merges luxury craftsmanship with contemporary design, elevating mountain culture through motion.

Guillaume Cizeron

Ice dancers are often known for their fashion sense, and for this Frenchman, it’s no different. Cizeron continually innovates in his on-ice style, with each costume telling a story. His current partner is Laurence Beaudry. His technical dance with Beaudry is to Madonna’s “Vogue” and their costumes reflect that.

Amber Glenn

The standout American figure skater not only captivates audiences with her flawless movements and jaw-dropping techniques, but also with her detailed costume designs and intricate make-up that never seems to smudge.

Chloe Kim

When it comes to this American snowboarder, the slopes truly become her runway. Her snowsuits might be simple, but her off-duty looks? A perfect blend of avant-garde details and casual chic style.

The two-time Olympic gold medalist in Olympic Snowboard has her own collection, the Chloe Kim Collection. The collection focuses on riders who demand performance with personality, every piece brings Chloe’s signature energy to the mountain. She has also been featured in Vogue in 3 fashion eras.

Paul Poirier

This Canadian ice dancer never fails to give Olympic audiences a stunning fashion performance (or performance in general). His on-ice outfits consistently blend elegance and creativity, and the glittering details make his performances as visually stunning as possible.

Team Mongolia

When it comes to Olympic fashion, we’d be remiss not to mention the Mongolian team. Outfitted with designs by Goyol Cashmere for both the ceremony and off-duty style, you can expect some stunning looks from every Olympian on this team.

Team USA

For a classically American take on the Olympics, Team USA has partnered with Ralph Lauren and Nike to create uniforms that blend classic Americana with modern athletic aesthetics.

2026 Winter Olympics Opening Ceremonies Uniforms

February 3, 2026 by admin Leave a Comment

While the Winter Olympics are a global spectacle for showcasing great athleticism and culture, they are also a secret worldwide fashion week where designers and brands create uniforms for the participating teams. When classic designers like Ralph Lauren and the late, great Giorgio Armani get involved in events like this, it’s not a moment you want to miss. Fashion Reverie is here to give an insight into some of the team’s opening ceremony uniforms and the craftsmanship and culture sewn into every fabric.

USA [Ralph Lauren]

Reuniting with Ralph Lauren for the 10th time, this matchup has yet to disappoint and always brings out a new element that exudes the pride of the American dream. The Opening Ceremony collection features a winter-white wool toggle coat and an American flag intarsia sweater, while the Closing Ceremony collection embellishes a dégagé, color-blocked puffer jacket inspired by vintage ski racing.

Canada [Lululemon]

Canada and Lululemon join forces to showcase winter sportswear in true Canadian fashion. Lululemon has set a new gold standard for Paralympic-inclusive design by blending magnetic zippers, Braille touchpoints, and seated-fit silhouettes. The collection was carefully crafted for high performance, thermoregulation, and Canadian pride, incorporating bold maple leaf motifs and functional elements like adaptive fits, insulated layering, and weather-resistant materials.

France [Le Coq Sportif]

Le Coq Sportif’s collection for Team France shows balance in pure, elegant French grace. The collection boasts a tailored silhouette in high-performance material inspired by the 1976 archives, beige duffle coats, safari puffers, and a topographic map take on the tricolor. With France’s rich history in polished styles and silhouettes, Le Coq Sportif’s special touch in light materials for high performance makes a perfect pair for a collection of this magnitude.

Norway [Dale of Norway]

Staying true to its heritage, Dale of Norway outfitting Team Norway sounds like a match made in heaven. The 2026 “Cortina” sweater is a high-tech, stylish revamp of the 1956 collection, merging legacy Norwegian wool with a skin-soft merino interior. The designs take inspiration from Viking symbols of protection and resilience, but the silhouette is modernized for high-octane functionality. This collection represents and honors decades of craftsmanship and national pride, taking pride in the rich winter sports legacy Norway has achieved through materials that are as functional as they are symbolic of the country’s culture.

Italy [ARMANI]

One of the last collections designed by the late great Giorgio Armani, this year’s uniform embellishes the quiet luxury that’s been embedded in Armani’s signature since the start. A tribute to Giorgio Armani’s legacy, the 2026 uniform is milky white, textural, and quietly exquisite, from 3D “Italia” embroidery to technical down jackets and ski suits. Armani’s vision of harmony, purity, and respect for sport comes through in every piece.

Japan [ASICS]

ASICS tells a visual story of determination and growth for Team Japan. The collection focuses on the “Ryusui” (flowing water) motif—a traditional Japanese pattern representing an athlete’s ability to navigate challenges with grace and steady forward movement. The collection also features a vibrant “Sunrise Red” gradient transitioning into light orange, capturing the energy of a new dawn while maintaining visual continuity with Japan’s recent global appearances. Beyond the style and fabrics, the collection represents a triumph of circular design by using recycled materials, minimizing environmental impact without compromising the high functionality required for any harsh winter sport or weather.

China [Li Ning]

Li Ning’s collection for Team China is a breath of fresh air. The collections feature smooth, streamlined silhouettes that innovate motion with ease and comfort, made from high-level performance and outdoor-friendly materials. Inspired by Chinese art and tradition, the collection boasts vibrant colors and slight imprints that give the uniforms a striking visual identity while showcasing thermal tech and breathable garments for the athletes’ best performance. Mixing modernized innovation with China’s rich culture and legacy, this collection might take the top spot just like the players.

Mongolia [Goyol Cashmere]

Attracting the spotlight from the fashion world, Team Mongolia shows legacy through the seams thanks to the collection designed by Goyol cashmere. Using the country’s national colors as the foundation, the collection honors Mongolia’s nomadic roots and artistic customs by taking inspiration from The Deel and Soyombo symbolism to provide a vivid blend of Mongolian history and modernized tailoring.

Brazil [Moncler]

What better brand could one choose for winter sports wear other than Moncler? Moncler takes a high-fashion approach for a high-performance collection, providing efficient mobility and luxury craftsmanship. The Moncler DNA courses through the simplistic ivory-white palette, with the Brazilian flag proudly displayed on the shoulder. With sleek silhouettes and high-performance engineering, Team Brazil will make all their years of hard work look effortless while in style.

Haiti [Stella Jean]

Most countries that are participating in the 2026 Winter Olympics are in colder climates. However, that is not always the case. Brazil and now Haiti are both participants in the 2026 Winter Olympics. Haitian Italian designer Stella Jean was inspired by from a painting of Independence leader Toussaint Louverture astride, featuring a red horse by Haitian artist Edouard Duval-Carrié. Before the Louverture astride painting, the outfits featured independence. However, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) ordered the removal of the image of Toussaint Louverture, citing the rules that barred political symbolism and political, religious, or racial propaganda at Olympic Games.

Jean appointed Italian artisans to paint over the image with the red horse. She also designed the women’s outfit, adding gold hoop earrings and a Haitian tignon, or turban. Haiti has two athletes competing in the 2026 Winter Olympics.

American Fashion Brands’ Downhill Slide

January 23, 2026 by admin Leave a Comment

2025 was a very tough year for Capri Brands’ 3 heritage American labels: Michael Kors, Kate Spade, and Jimmy Choo. The damage wasn’t contained to these big names though; other big American brands have been on a steady downwards tumble for years.

Fashion Reverie takes you through the rise and fall of big American brands.

Image courtesy of rizzoliusa.com

The November 1973 Battle of Versailles legitimized American fashion houses to the French and to the rest of the fashion world. The event was instrumental in helping establish American designers. That November evening, it was as if a magic wand was waved that turned Calvin Klein, Donna Karan, Bill Blass, and Anne Klein into internationally recognized names. They expanded beyond clothes to include accessories, home and fragrance. Several decades later, many of them had attained heritage brand status.

The bigger the better formula worked in the heyday of the big department stores that existed in the seventies, eighties and nineties. Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Lord & Taylor, and Macy’s all proudly carried American designers in a big way. If one department store didn’t carry that special designer piece, another did. The all-powerful department stores were the ideal place to incubate a brand such as Jessica Simpson’s, points out Teri Agins@teriagins, a long-time fashion industry journalist for the Wall Street Journal and author of “The End of Fashion” and “Highjacking the Runway.” Macy’s launched the Jessica Simpson Collection in 2005 and in 2010 JSC hit $750,000 in revenues. This case study in Agins’ book demonstrates the muscle American department stores still had in the early 2000s.

American brands also found enthusiastic support from the glossy print publications. Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Glamour, and WWD, who chronicled the designers’ every public appearance. Michael Kors was a judge on fan favorite, “Project Runway” from 2004 to 2012, which positioned him to leverage his discount Michael Kors accessories to the masses. The hit TV show, “Sex and the City,” that ran from 1998 – 2004, was also instrumental in turning little-known luxury brands Jimmy Choo, Christian Louboutin, and Manolo Blahniks into household names. Consumer sales rocketed for the designer bags and shoes during the show’s 6-year run. Blahnik, Choo, and Louboutin became celebrities their customers spoke of by first name. Splashy advertising campaigns further pushed the messaging. Ads for luxury goods were seemingly everywhere, in the pages of the glossies, the Sunday New York Times, billboards, bus stops, TV, and radio.

Unfortunately, the new century ushered in a seismic shift brought about by a perfect storm of events. Customers increasingly embraced the convenience of online shopping especially following the COVID-19 pandemic. The great department store consolidation stripped the stores of glamour and relevance and by 2000, there were only 3 mega department store chains: Federated Department Stores, RH Macy’s, and the May Department Stores Company. In 2005, Federated bought the May Co., and in 2007 rebranded Hecht’s, Marshall Fields, and the other regionals into Macy’s. The rebranded stores that had been stripped of their unique regional character alienated loyal customers and foot traffic and sales declined. Macy’s responded by downsizing from nearly 1,000 stores to under half that number post-pandemic. Retaildive.com estimates that by the end of this year there will be 350 Macy’s stores left standing.

Opening designer outlets may have seemed like the solution to dusty department stores and malls, but year-round low prices taught consumers to never pay full price. By 2010, Capri’s sexy labels, Michael Kors, Kate Spade, and Jimmy Choo began to feel the pain of a massive cultural shift. Magazines were less important to fashion lovers, largely replaced by social media and influencers who appealed to younger generations, widening the generational gap. Big American brands that seemed too big to fail were floundering and Capri’s earnings fell nearly 40% from its 2020 numbers. This is in line with what Teri Agins estimates the 20-year lifespan of a good fashion brand. She opines, “personal taste is “a generational thing. Kids don’t want to wear what their parents wore, with a few exceptions like Ralph Lauren, that is cyclical.”

Image courtesy of diamondbanc.com

Teens and twenty somethings embraced a “normcore” dressing heavy on sneakers, sweatsuits and lounge wear, doing away with the need for logoed designer belts and shoulder bags. A high school student told fashionreverie.com she paid $37 for a pair of Alo yoga socks, “because they’re designer fashion.” She is saving up for a Lulu Lemon bag, not a Louis Vuitton. In a strange twist, normcore narrowed the generational gap as older generations also embraced H&M, GAP, and Uniqlo. Cost-effective direct to consumer campaigns of texts and specials bombard inboxes daily and span across all generations.

As for the way forward, there is a bright spot in the designer landscape—the model created by the big European fashion brands such as LVMH and Prada S.p.A.. While fragrance used to be their golden goose, in the past 5 years, lucrative licensing cosmetic collaborations with L’Oreal and Coty have been instrumental in sales for Dior, YSL, Gucci, Armani, Valentino, and Prada. Distribution across LVMH’s Sephora stores nationwide and luxury department store counters keeps these European brands on consumers’ radar. A $42 Dior Addict Lip balm is a splurge but an attainable one to those who want a luxe designer item. Versace may join the cosmetics party as Prada S.p.A bought it from Capri for $1.375 billion last month. Says Agins, “Versace still has some cachet; sex sells and that is part of their DNA. I think Versace has a good chance now that Prada owns it.”

Breaking Fashion News Alert: Valentino Garavani Transitions

January 19, 2026 by admin Leave a Comment

Valentino Garavani, the founder and former creative director of Italian luxury brand Valentino, has passed away. The death was announced on Instagram by the Fondazione Valentino Garavani e Giancarlo Giammetti that “peacefully passed away today at his residence in Rome, surrounded by the love of his family,” as reported in fashionista.com.

Born in 1932 in Voghera, a town in the region of Lombardy, Valentino moved to Paris as a teenager to study fashion at Chambre Syndicale de Couture Parisienne. After his studies in Paris, Valentino worked as an apprentice with Jacques Dessès and later worked for five years at Guy LaRoche‘s atelier in Paris.

Image courtesy of glamobserver.com

In 1960 Valentino partnered with Italian architect Giancarlo Giammetti to start his eponymous brand, Valentino. His first collection contained the iconic red ‘Fiesta’ dress with every collection moving forward always including at least one red dress or gown, which came to be known as ‘Valentino Red.’

Valentino’s big break came in 1962 when his couture collection, shown in Florence, Italy, catapulted him to the top of Italian couturiers. Valentino won the Neiman Marcus Award in 1967 and designed Jackie Kennedy’s wedding gown to Aristotle Onassis that same year.

Image courtesy of Getty Images

The Valentino brand experienced a stratospheric rise in the 1970s as Valentino Garavani spent a lot of time in New York City, infusing his collections with American and New York City inspirations. In the 1980s Valentino expanded his empire, later selling his company to Holding di Partecipazioni Industriali, but he remained as creative director and designer until 2008, when he released his final ready-to-wear collection.

Valentino Garavani’s funeral will be held on Friday, Jan. 23 at the Basilica Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri, in Piazza della Repubblica 8 in Rome at 11 a.m.

Happy 2026, everyone! Fashion Reverie hopes you enjoyed your holiday season with your loved ones and that you have a fashionable 2026. As we ring in the New Year, we have some hot-off-the-press news to share with you. Just because everyone was using their vacation days for the holidays doesn’t mean the drama in fashion slowed down one bit. It’s hot chocolate season, but the tea is sweet.

In the latest update on the Riccardo Tisci sexual assault case, a judge has partially denied Tisci’s motion to dismiss his alleged victim’s core claims. This means the main claims, including battery, will proceed to the next stage, likely discovery. It’s a tough battle for the once-celebrated designer, as he is now embroiled in this legal fight. He won’t be staging a comeback anytime soon.

Pieter Muller is considered the frontrunner to succeed Dario Vitale as creative director at Versace after Vitale left the brand after just one season. Muller, who is currently the creative director of Alaïa, has received high praise for his work there. Hopefully, he can turn Versace around after years of sluggish sales.

Saks Global CEO Marc Metrick has left his post. After years of declining sales, mounting debt, and owing vendors millions of dollars, Metrick leaves Saks in worse shape than when he first took the helm. With a slowing global luxury market and shifting spending habits away from department stores, it’s a challenging time for Saks. New CEO Richard Baker will need to figure out how to engineer a comeback for Saks in an environment that’s currently unfriendly to both department stores and luxury brands.

This major publishing house faced a significant number of layoffs this year in its flagship fashion division, raising concerns about the future of fashion journalism. Most of its younger staff have been let go, leaving only senior editors. But what happens once the older editors retire? The outlook for publishing’s future doesn’t look too promising right now.

Happy holidays to you and yours. Fashion Reverie hopes you had a lovely Thanksgiving and are preparing for the December holiday season. It’s time for holiday shopping, eggnog, and Christmas cookies. While you’re browsing holiday sales to see what great deals you can score, how about taking a break and letting us pour some piping hot tea? The fashion industry is ending this year with much to talk about.

Dario Vitale image courtesy of runwaymagazine.com

Dario Vitale is out at Versace. After a one-season collection, the designer, who was hired to take Versace into a new era, has left the company. Versace has been acquired by Prada Group. It is widely believed that because Vitale was in talks to take over Versace before the merger, once the merger happened, he had to agree to contract terms he didn’t find favorable. Rather than deal with the fallout and drama, he has said sayonara to the luxury label.

After exiting Balmain as creative director, which was allegedly experiencing major challenges, Olivier Rousteing might now have a chance at a new job. Rumor has it he’s being eyed for the creative director position at Versace now that Vitale is out. Rousteing understands maximalism, and he already has a strong following from people who loved his Balmain designs. He could be a smart choice.

Riccardo Tisci, who has been in the middle of a sexual assault trial where he’s being accused of sexual assault, libel, and slander, has sought to seal key exhibits backing his motion to dismiss. Tisci filed a reply brief supporting it and also requested sealing. The judge in the trial has approved sealing these exhibits, helping shield sensitive information. This case is still ongoing, so Fashion Reverie will watch and see what happens next.

Dilara Findikoglu, long considered a fashion industry darling, has found herself in hot water. The designer is now being accused of toxic workplace conditions and allegations that she behaved in a racist manner toward employees. There have even been calls to revoke her British Fashion Council Vanguard Award. Former employees of her eponymous label detailed to fashionista.com about their horrible experiences working with Findikoglu. It looks like Findikoglu might be the next designer to get canceled.
