DSCENE Magazine presents its exclusive Fall Winter 2026 New York Fashion Week street style coverage with an early preview of the city’s first arrivals, photographed by Didem Civginoglu. On February 10, one day before the official calendar commenced, the fashion community gathered in anticipation of the week ahead. Outside the venues for Marc Jacobs and Ralph Lauren, Didem captured a steady flow of guests as editors, models, and creatives transformed the sidewalks into a real-time showcase of personal style and seasonal direction.
STREET STYLE
Arrivals gathered steadily as guests stepped onto the pavement ahead of the day’s presentations. As designers presented off-schedule, the early gatherings drew a concentrated mix of industry figures who shaped the atmosphere before doors opened. Among them were Julia Fox and Coco Baudelle, joined by Jessica Wang, Tina Leung, and June Ambrose, each arriving with a distinct presence that immediately drew attention from photographers and onlookers.
The flow of guests continued throughout the afternoon as attendees moved through entrance lines and paused briefly for cameras. Didem captured Joan Smalls, Kelsey Merritt, and Leonie Hanne as they arrived, alongside Sai De Silva, Mary Leest, and Shaleeta “SheShe” Pendleton. Each appearance added to the unfolding visual record of the day, defined by personal style and the natural rhythm of arrivals.
The mix of established industry names and emerging personalities reinforced the layered character of these early gatherings. Alex Badia and CT Hedden stood alongside newer voices such as Izzi Poopi, contributing to a cross-section of perspectives visible on the sidewalks. Editors, stylists, models, and digital creators occupied the same space, forming an evolving portrait of the community assembling ahead of the official start.
February 10 offers a clear view of the people who begin shaping the week before the official calendar starts. The early arrivals, brief exchanges, and steady momentum on the sidewalks signal the return of the season’s rhythm. As the schedule moves forward on February 11, these appearances from key individuals frame the opening chapter of Fall Winter 2026 and set the pace for the days ahead.
