"So far, one thing's for sure: beauty is leaning experimental, playful, and anything but predictable. At Collina Strada, for instance, models sported a more literal take on a cat eye than you might be used to, along with actual hair hats for even more of an animal-like effect. Multiple shows - including Michael Kors and Jonathan Simkhai - proved that beach waves are a year-round staple. Grace Ling, meanwhile, sent down a futuristic spin on smoky glam that feels instantly wearable."
"If one hairstyle has dominated the runways this season, it's waves - the more textured, the better. After making an appearance at both Paris Couture and Copenhagen Fashion Weeks, the romantic, undone hairstyle was spotted at Ralph Lauren, Michael Kors, and Jonathan Simkhai - with models wearing their wavy strands down and in a middle part at each one. Lead hair artist Holli Smith - who used Moroccanoil products - was inspired by effortless, undone beach waves when creating Simkhai's look."
New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2026 showcased experimental, playful beauty that blends wearable and avant-garde elements. Textured, undone beach waves dominated runways at Ralph Lauren, Michael Kors, and Jonathan Simkhai, often styled in middle parts to emphasize movement and texture. Lead hair artist Holli Smith used Moroccanoil products to craft effortless Simkhai waves. Collina Strada paired feline-inspired graphic eyes and colorful winged lashes with whimsical hair hats created by Isamaya Ffrench and Mustafa Yanaz. Grace Ling presented a futuristic, wearable smoky-glam variation. Overall, runway beauty leaned toward bold eye statements, tactile hair texture, and looks that translate quickly into seasonal consumer trends.
