With each show, the energy only intensified, keeping the momentum strong and setting the stage for fashion’s burgeoning and seasoned talent.

Coach and Tory Burch are both essential pillars of American womenswear, each known for creating iconic accessories that have shaped the category over the years. The newly released Coach Pillow Tabby has reignited many people’s love for the brand, while the Tory Burch Reva Ballerina, first popularized in 2006, remains a classic favorite. Today, both brands are adding a modern twist to their timeless designs, catering to their core audience with fresh updates. Publicist and influencer Maya McHenry showcased her impeccable street style in a two-piece bodysuit paired with a tulle skirt, channeling the essence of a garden. She completed the look with Chanel’s color-blocked kitten heels, accented by matching green socks, and added a pop of color with a pink Chanel vanity bag.
