Latinx designers and prominent events. Present at the shows a celebration of American style with aesthetic diversity, cultural inclusion, sustainable innovation, and an emphasis on authentic storytelling.
Several designers played a prominent role in NYFW in September 2025.
Christian Siriano presented his SS26 collection during New York Fashion Week, which included a haute couture bag in collaboration with Capri Sun, inspired by its iconic packaging. Also participating in the show were well-known models such as Coco Rocha. Elegant freckles with ponytail styles were prominent in this show.
At the Prabal Gurung show, we spoke with Marco Pena, who told us, “This season, we wanted to create something that felt soft and romantic: a heavenly version of effortless beauty. The TRESemmé A-List Collection Styling Stick was essential to achieving the look, keeping every strand soft and flyaways under control, without losing that ethereal, angelic feel.” Our favorite here was the updo that looks like a gift.
On Saturday, Cynthia Rowley presented her label's 101st runway show of this season's New York Fashion Week, against the backdrop of the newly renovated Wagner Park, sailboats circling the tip of Manhattan, and the Statue of Liberty in view. The collection showcased the designer's signature aesthetic—a fusion of feminine and sporty—with reimagined windbreakers and running shorts, alongside flowing dresses.
For the first time, the runway also included men's looks, with TikToker “Henry” (@henryhenryhenryhenryhenryhenr) among the models, and a special appearance by Rowley's daughter, creator Kit Keenan, who walked the runway in a “sexy little dress,” as Rowley herself described it.
Although Rowley once vowed to never do an outdoor show again, she confessed that the setting was simply irresistible. “It actually seats 900 people, and we custom-made 10 sails for the sailboats. So we had sailboats sailing right in front of where the girls were walking,” she said. “We opened the show with a guy, which I thought was funny because a lot of our clothes are also worn by men.”
To create these looks we went behind the scenes at these products: TRESemmé A-List Collection All-in-One Prep Spray, TRESemmé A-List Collection Extra Hold Mousse, TRESemmé A-List Collection Instant Fix Styling Stick, TRESemmé A-List Collection Smoothing Cream, TRESemmé Extreme Hold Hair Gel, TRESemmé A-List Collection Flexible Hold Hairspray.
