Coach F/W 2025.26 New York

Ghesquière did it better back in 2002:

I like the cut of the pants but the styling, down to the casting is a bit too on the nose. He mentions referencing nyc 90s street style and when he moved to the city. However, this is exactly how you see people in soho and lower east side dressing this very moment. This didn’t need to be on the calendar. R13 put this collection out with more authenticity and edge. Moving on.
 
A scruffier version of how my 13 year old niece currently dresses. Why is he showing styles that people are already wearing? Awfulness aside, it's a good thing that Coach is bringing back the Bonnie Cashin signatures - the Cashin-type bags and accessories are the only good points in this collection.

looks stiff like Raf S...lol
 
The best part was the protester taken out from the show...
 
So sullen and sulky looking. Like someone that makes their unhinged Xanax and Ketamine cocktail addiction their only personality trait just to deviate themselves from a rather bland and privileged upbringing.
 
Yet? They probably make a killing off their bad charms alone lolz
Coach is one of the only luxury brands growing at double digits y/y last quarter. Tapestry stock was $36 when Vevers's first collection launched in Fall 2014, and now it's at $81. (Note: we can no longer track Coach, the top performing brand, stock by itself because of the merger, and this growth also considers laggard Stuart Weitzman.)

The Brooklyn Bag is one of the hottest bags in the world, and the Empire Bag is now probably in the top 12. Coach is also one of the fastest growing brands in France, of all places.

It's a shame that they're not presenting real clothes and instead a hollow personification of Gen Z, but Coach is white hot and shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon.

It took Vevers ~5 years to find the balance of "fashun" and product at Coach, but he's delivered a massive ROI for the brand. Stuart Vevers is also, highly likely, the highest paid creative director in all of fashion. Reed Krakoff made $12M in 2012 (~$29M in 2025) due to the bonus structure, and that's when the brand wasn't performing as well as it has over the past 5 years.
 
I thought this was a decent effort for coach, who has long struggled to find its way with RTW.
