Designer to Present Collection in Intimate Setting Ahead of Official Fashion Week Kickoff
Ralph Lauren will stage his Spring 2026 women’s collection on September 10 at 650 Madison Avenue in New York, returning to his private design studio for an intimate runway presentation.
The show will take place the day before the official start of New York Fashion Week, which runs from September 11 to 16. The specific time of the event has not been disclosed.
The location, home to Lauren’s design operations, continues the designer’s recent tradition of choosing venues with personal significance.
Last season, Lauren hosted his Fall 2025 runway show at Jack Shainman Gallery, a former Gilded Age mansion in Tribeca. For Spring 2025, he brought the fashion industry—and First Lady Jill Biden—to the Hamptons for a show at Khalily Stables, a 19-acre equestrian property between Bridgehampton and Water Mill.
In prior seasons, Lauren transformed a Brooklyn Navy Yard barn into a loft-style ranch for Spring 2024 and used his Madison Avenue offices for the Fall/Holiday 2024 show.
The upcoming Spring 2026 presentation reflects Lauren’s continued connection to New York, where he launched his business nearly six decades ago. He began in the Empire State Building before moving to a brownstone on West 55th Street and later relocating his headquarters to Madison Avenue.
The Madison Avenue studio setting underscores Lauren’s enduring interest in merging fashion with narrative, using spaces that reflect his personal history and design ethos.
