It’s a wrap on New York Fashion Week (NYFW)!

After a six-day, jam-packed schedule of more than 60 designer runway shows and presentations, the curtains came down on the kick-off to fashion month’s Spring/Summer 2026 season.

Diotima creative director and founder Rachel Scott’s ‘Bacchanal’-titled collection scored rave reviews from fashion critics.

SAINT International model Dru Campbell booked eight shows in her first NYFW outing, including Coach, Tory Burch and Anna Sui.

And fellow SAINT Naki Depass landed on the runway of uber-hot designer Raul Lopez’s much-buzzed-about Luar collection on Monday and also appeared for Laquan Smith’s show that closed the week-long event.

We freeze-frame major moments of the Jamaican designer and models doing it big in Gotham.
