Her New York Fashion Week 2026 show of 53 looks of modern elegance blended with old-world romance began with a hush of admiration from the first delicious gown, followed by royal ballgowns, sexy minidresses, jumpsuits, tea-length dresses, svelte evening gowns, flowing trousers, and cheeky peplum shorts.

The high-end fabrics of silk, lace, charmeuse, organza, tulle, and taffeta beheld hand-applied, detailed embellishments of embroidery and beading. The fashion audience slipped into a trance from the mesmerizing showcase of elevated bespoke couture.

The finale was the gilded lace ballgown with metallic blooms and 3D branch detail.

JJR Designer Jonathan Joseph Rosse’s diamond and colorful gem jewelry complemented but did not compete with the stunning fashion designs. The models glided gracefully in Manolo Blahnik chasseurs, with coordinating colors and crystal embellishments.

“Fashion is not only what you wear, but what you feel. My hope is that each piece awakens beauty, strength, and renewal with in you” shares Nardos Imam.
