Carolina Herrera Honors Women in the Arts With Artist-Cast Fall 2026 Show in New York

The collection fused 1980s-informed tailoring with site-specific murals by Sarah Oliphant to reaffirm the house’s cultural program.

Overview

  • Wes Gordon said the collection was a tribute to women—artists, muses, gallerists and curators—whose work shapes culture.
  • Practicing creatives walked the runway, including Amy Sherald, Ming Smith, Anh Duong, Eliza Douglas, Rachel Feinstein with her daughter Flora Currin, and gallerist Hannah Traore.
  • House codes dominated with strong shoulders, sculpted jackets and exaggerated peplums, echoing Hitchcock-era hourglass references.
  • Leopard prints ran through coats, dresses and knits, paired with mesh sheers, sequins and crinoline-inspired evening constructions.
  • A Meatpacking District venue featured hand-painted murals by Sarah Oliphant that evoked an artist’s studio, tying the presentation to the brand’s Women in the Arts initiative and nodding to its Good Girl iconography.
