Bronx and Banco introduced its Spring Summer 2026 collection, Concrete Safari, in New York. Designer Natalie De’Banco drew from personal memories, uniting a childhood shaped by animals and nature with the raw intensity of the city she now calls home. The result was a collection that placed versatility at its center, building wardrobes that shift with the rhythm of modern life. Photographer Katie Borrazzo captured the energy behind the scenes at the Bronx and Banco Spring Summer 2026 show, exclusively for DSCENE Magazine.
The runway offered a balance of tailoring and fluidity. Jackets and separates carried precise cuts, while slinky silhouettes softened the overall line. Bronx and Banco imagined clothes that worked as easily for day as for night, projecting an effortless flow across looks. Dresses, trousers, and outerwear carried ease but maintained a polished finish, creating a modern expression of femininity with both strength and softness.
Color defined the mood of the season. Ivory and seafoam introduced freshness, joined by earthy sage and terracotta. Safari graphics appeared with intensity, layered against grounded shades to emphasize contrast. Tactile accents added further depth, including gold spinal-like details and hand-crocheted elements that pushed the clothes into experimental territory. These references reinforced De’Banco’s ongoing dialogue between the natural environment and urban experience.
The show also marked the debut of Bronx and Banco accessories, designed in-house. Bags and shoes extended the collection’s vision of adaptability, built for the pace of New York while maintaining the elegance of eveningwear. They supported the central idea of wardrobes that shift settings without losing coherence.

With Concrete Safari, Bronx and Banco drew on two defining influences: Natalie De’Banco’s early love of nature and her present life in New York. The collection reflected both, looking outward to the natural environment while responding to the daily rhythm of the women it seeks to dress.
