Everything Who What Wear Editors Saw, Wore, Did, and Ate During NYFW

Although New York Fashion Week has technically began on Wednesday, the festivities have felt well underway since the beginning of last week, with plenty of previews, dinners, kickoff parties, and a few early shows for good measure (looking at you, Marc Jacobs and Ralph Lauren).

Now that we’ve ramped up to the full schedule, the city feels abuzz with energy, and our team of fashion editors is off to the races. Over the past few days, we’ve been getting the very first glimpses of the fall 2026 collections, but despite the clothing being the week’s primary focus, our team is also sure to indulge in a lot of incredible meals; take approximately 1000 Uber, train, and bus rides; and, of course, wear plenty of trend-forward outfits along the way.

If you’ve ever wondered what a day in the life of a fashion editor attending NYFW is like, you’re about to get a taste because I tasked each attendee on our fashion team with reporting on the highlights of each day, from their favorite runway look to the pop culture moment that everyone was talking about to what they ate, drank, and wore. Continue to read Team Who What Wear’s fashion week highlight reel and check back each day for updates.

Day 2: Thursday, February 12

Favorite runway look of the day:

I always love the styling and dreamy outerwear pieces at TWP. This look with the maxi shearling vest is still in my head.

The trend you’re already seeing everywhere:

Advanced layering 2.0. Unexpected shirting pairings are popping, like a long-sleeve tee underneath a button-up shirt, ensuring that the long sleeves are long enough where they poke out of the cuff of the shirt.

Buzziest pop culture moment of the day:

The queen Martha Stewart sat right by the WWW team at the TWP show. Iconic.

Best thing you ate or drank:

I popped into the MyTheresa party for a delicious vodka martini. Can’t go wrong.

Standout moment from in between the shows:

If I have time, I like to change for night events to switch it up. I just got this incredible layered Tibi sweater from Shopbop, and it made its debut this season.

What you wore:

For the daytime shows, I opted for my favorite longline black coat from Soft Goat, a soft Vince sweater in lilac (I’m trying to add more color into my looks this season), and my trusty Chanel 25 bag.

Day 1: Wednesday, February 11

WHO: Anna LaPlaca, Senior Editor

Favorite runway look of the day:

Tory Burch is the show I look forward to the most each season because the runway is always replete with fresh styling ideas that leave me inspired to go into my own closet and put things together in a new way. The fall 2026 collection was no different, and in particular, I loved the way the designer imagined a classic New Yorker outfit formula—wool coat + trousers + pumps—with a focus on modern silhouettes like a car coat with curved shoulders and glove pumps with a high vamp that make these staple pieces feel as important as ever.

The trend you’re already seeing everywhere:

The specific shade of pale teal that was on both the Proenza Schouler and Tory Burch runways. It feels like the autumnal evolution of spring 2026’s cerulean color trend.

Buzziest pop culture moment of the day:

Our January cover star, Elle Fanning, attended the Tory Burch show and sat front-row alongside Tessa Thompson and Pamela Anderson.

The best thing you ate or drank:

We had a team happy hour at The Otter inside SoHo’s The Manner hotel. Champagne, oysters, and lobster rolls inside a beautiful space? It was perfect.

Standout moment from in between the shows:

I always love running into my editor, stylist, and publicist friends from the industry. It makes the week feel like one big reunion.

What you wore:

I’m rewearing a lot of my favorite pieces this fashion week, and today the star of the show was undoubtedly this croc-embossed knee-length skirt from Tory Burch’s fall 2024 collection. (I still need to buy the matching top, so keep your eyes peeled on the secondhand market for me!) I paired it with a red V-neck Rùadh sweater, a mini Balenciaga Rodeo Bag, and a pair of almond-toe pumps that are equal parts comfortable and compliment-generating.
