For Fall 2026, Jonathan Simkhai unveils a sleek collection of sharp outerwear and separates with new textural updates.

Typically, Simkhai uses a more neutral color palette versus high-octane colors, and that was true again for fall. In shades of white, black, brown, or a deep plum, he updated his coats, dresses, and tops in fabrics that felt intriguing to the touch. His zebra-printed coat came in brown and black calf hair. A women’s cowl neck top and men’s zip-up jacket were made of black jacquard—cut and fringed to appear as though it was covered in all-over feathers. “I wanted every look to feel structured, but still very light,” said Simkhai.

His leathers shined through via a draped top, folded and gathered at the front to feel more architectural. He also designed a killer straight-leg pant for men—not too slim, not too baggy (a super skinny-fit is a look no one can pull off, unless they’re Mick Jagger). The tailoring felt right for the moment too—intriguing, but not too wackadoodle. Simkhai expanded upon a Met Gala look he designed for Kerry Washington last year, creating a tuxedo dress with an infinite scooped neckline—a nice-yet-subtle update. Ditto his black plissé quarter-sleeve dress with a cocoon shoulder cape, though the built-in bejeweled neckline felt like it should be an option, not mandatory.

Consistent throughout Simkhai’s collection were minor updates that may go largely unnoticed, but render a piece a little bit more smart. The jacket necklines got a little higher, the shearling-leather chore coats were made reversible.
