The opening of New York Fashion Week 2026 lit up the streets of Manhattan with celebrities, vibrant fashion and unexpected trends.
From the very first day, New York Fashion Week proved that beyond the catwalks, the real runway beats on the streets of Manhattan. Through the lens of photographer Didem Civginoglu, the Spring/Summer 2026 kick-off became a vibrant mosaic of style, personality and creativity, capturing the most authentic essence of street style.
Outside the main venues of houses such as Michael Kors, Collina Strada and Simkhai, the city turned into an epicentre of inspiration where fashion was lived on every corner. Among the attendees were iconic figures including Anna Wintour, Lisa Rinna, Leslie Bibb, Olivia Palermo, Marc Forné, Amelia Gray and the Elevator Boys, each adding their personal touch to an electric atmosphere.
The spectacle beyond the shows matched the energy within: editors, models, stylists, influencers and creatives from around the globe set the pace of a week defined by diversity, authenticity and the power of individual expression. Every look, from the most sophisticated to the boldest, contributed to shaping the trends that will dominate the coming months.
Didem Civginoglu’s lens delivered more than a hundred images narrating this opening day of New York Fashion Week street style, confirming that what happens on the pavements of the city is just as influential as the collections unveiled on the runways.
