The F/W 2026.27 Show Schedules...
Such an awesome surprise!With a lot of boxy shapes and some loose styles, the collection had more of a tough girl vibe than a sexpot attitude, although a series of shrink-wrapped jacquard knits in frayed patterns hugged the body and arms.
It had a couple of sure-to-be best-selling handbags, including an oversized tote that resembles a doctor's bag.
And it had Gisele.
Program notes instructed the audience to remain in their seats after the traditional runway walk, indicating something special was left to come.
And sure enough supermodels Gisele Bundchen, Shalom Harlow and Karolina Kurdova, who rarely walk the runways any more, appeared with other models in more mostly black, hard-edge clothes that have commercial appeal. With a sense of purpose (or a plea for vindication?), Bundchen confidently marched out in a high-neck black trenchcoat with a split up the front that will likely be a bestseller.
The models made diagonal patterns around the set, with each ending in front of a big mirror, her reflection illuminated to the audience, which remained strangely quiet.
(The last time I saw the Brazilian supermodel in a fashion week runway show was about five years ago when she led off the Jacobs's show clad in a high-necked blouse and tight skirt in a librarian-about-to-be-unleashed collection.)
Bundchen, who raised such a ruckus when she came to the defense of her husband, New England Patroits quarterback Tom Brady, and threw the F-bomb at critics after the team's narrow loss at the Super Bowl, declined to comment further about the incident when asked about it backstage after the show.
But she flashed the peace sign to a Boston Herald fashion writer.



vogue.comBy now, guessing which members of Alexander Wang’s supermodel fan club will walk his runway each season has become one of fashion’s favorite sports.
Last night, the designer kept his front row in suspense right up until the last minute—sending most of his famous faces onto the stark industrial set with their mesh wool turtlenecks pulled up over their mouths. In the final moments, models Shalom Harlow, Karolina Kurkova, Frankie Rayder, Karmen Pedaru, Natasha Poly, and Joan Smalls pulled down their collars to reveal their identity, while Gisele Bündchen and Carmen Kass strolled out to close the show in a supercharged superfinale.
Backstage, the scene felt more like a lively top model reunion. “My agent called to say that Alexander had requested me for the show, so of course I said yes!” said Harlow who, as an Alex Wang newbie, was looking forward to her first spin down his runway. “And I happen to be in great company,” she said, gesturing toward the makeup area, where Bündchen and Kass were getting prepped.
“It’s great! I haven’t done the shows in New York for ten years. Frankie, Carmen—those are the girls I worked with back when I started modeling!” agreed Bündchen, perched in the makeup chair, wearing her own skintight leather pants and one of Wang’s black blazers.
