The Best Looks From New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2024

On a Brooklyn rooftop overlooking downtown Manhattan, Collina Strada’s Hillary Taymour was thinking about death. Not necessarily personal death, but rather the death of our planet.

Models trounced down the runway in exaggerated smiles, and at the turn of the catwalk, pivoted to a straight face, suggesting there’s only a bit of hope left for all of us. In the meantime, it can’t hurt to be well-dressed. Read social media personality Harry Hill’s front row review here.—Kevin LeBlanc, fashion associate
