New York Fashion Week came around again, with it’s fast-paced elegance, eclectic styles and forward-thinking shows. We saw new styles, details and craftsmanship, bracing us for an exciting start to Spring/Summer 2026 and we were excited to catch our models opening and closing shows, representing beautiful storytelling and strong collections. 

Penelope Ternes opened Altuzarra with calm focus and total ease - a strong start to one of the most anticipated shows of the week. Libby Taverner closed the show with an intricate, graceful look perfectly suited to her ethereal aura. Closing again for COS, we saw Libby bring a quiet confidence coinciding with the shows elevated, composed atmosphere. 

From the refined elegance at Ralph Lauren, to the sharp tailoring at Proenza Schouler, the modern polish at Michael Kors, and the soft strength of Khaite, Premier Models brought exactly the right tone to elevate each show.

We saw them walk for Calvin Klein, Simkhai, Ulla Johnson, Coach, Jason Wu, and Tory Burch - and in every show, they brought more than just a look. They brought focus, edge, and that sense of effortlessness that only comes from real talent and hard work.

And in the spaces between? Early call times. Quick changes. Last looks. The kind of moments no one sees - but that shape everything.
