Ralph Lauren is sticking closer to home for his spring ’26 fashion show.
The designer will be returning to his private design studio at 650 Madison Avenue in New York on Sept. 10 to present his 2026 spring collection with an intimate experience. The exact time isn’t being disclosed yet.
New York Fashion Week officially begins Sept. 11 and runs through Sept. 16.
The designer has for the last few years been staging runway shows in experiential spaces that have personal meaning to him and his lifestyle.
For his fall 2025 show, the designer opted for the Jack Shainman Gallery, a former Gilded Age palazzo in Tribeca. Last September — again on the eve of New York Fashion Week — Lauren brought First Lady Jill Biden and the fashion crowd to the Hamptons for his spring 2025 runway show. The epic event was held at Khalily Stables, a sprawling 19-acre equestrian estate between Bridgehampton and Water Mill, with the 200 guests at each of the two shows arriving via private car or bus, courtesy of the brand.
For the spring 2024 show, Lauren constructed an artist’s loft in a barn at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, reminiscent of his Double RL Ranch. Earlier for his fall/holiday 2024 runway show, he held the show at his Madison Avenue offices.
Regarding this season’s decision to show his women’s collection at his studio, Lauren was inspired by his hometown, which has always been his creative turf. Lauren started his business almost 60 years ago in the Empire State Building and eventually moved into a residential brownstone at 40 West 55th Street, before moving crosstown to 60th and Madison Avenue.
