Our F&W Girls exist all over the world, coming from diverse backgrounds and career fields. New York Fashion Week is a magical time where fashionistas of all ages gather to celebrate fashion, design, beauty, and entertainment. And that’s exactly what we did on September 13th, 2025 at the Royalton Park Avenue Hotel. Showcasing our busy women on the go, we needed a partner ready to bring a combination of style, elegance, and quality. That’s why Hutch design, a brand that has reimagined event dressing for women of all ages, sizes, and cultural backgrounds with its vibrant approach to classic silhouettes, was the PERFECT collaborator.
In 22 looks, our Hannah Noelle and Cannon Models effortlessly brought that fierce, sophisticated energy to the runway, letting their unique personality shine in fabulous fitting dresses and bags that could take them from day to night.
Last year our F&W Style handbags made a guest appearance on the runway with contemporary brand, Aveeation for Flying Solo’s New York Fashion Week showcase. We had no idea that just one year later, we would not only hold our own show, but bring it to life with partners that are all passionate about entertainment, storytelling, and style.

What makes this so special? We showcased the angelic relationship between elevated dresses and fabulous handbags. Hutch’s flattering silhouettes with our functional and timeless handbags created an effortless duo that’ll be remembered forever.
“Now more than ever, it's essential for fashion brands to cultivate meaningful connections with like-minded brands that share their core values. The partnership between Hutch and F&W Style was seamless because—at the end of the day—both brands aim to make their customers feel confident regardless of their size, age, race, or other diversifying qualities. Hutch's distinctive prints and stylish silhouettes perfectly complemented F&W Style's colorful, fashionable handbags.”
Sold in major retailers such as Anthropologie, Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale's, and more, Hutch is dedicated to making women feel special and confident, regardless of the occasion.

We even had the New York-based celebrity makeup artist and educator, Zuleika Viera, bring her glam team to have all the girls face cards on point in a natural, dewy, soft glam.
Each look was bold, sophisticated, and chic. The room was filled with excitement and awe from influencers, stylists, and our special VIP guests. And just when you thought history was made, the unreleased ChelseaKat Dream Bags hit the runway, modeled by Chelsea and Kat themselves.
Launched September 29th, a symbol of representation, collaboration, and the beautiful intersection of fashion and television, the ChelseaKat Dream Bag premiered on CBS’s Beyond The Gates, the first Black-led daytime soap opera.

Closing the show, actresses Colby Muhammad (Kat Richardson) and RhonniRose(Chelsea Hamilton) themselves brought their characters to the runway, rocking the ChelseaKat Dream bag in pink and blue. Made with vegan leather and denim, the bags are made to represent Chelsea’s boldness and Kat’s sophistication.
Not only has the bag launched on screen after its runway debut, but in real life, in 3 colors. If you want to see the journey from Sketch to Screen, head to Instagram to follow the process from the very beginning. To make it even sweeter, Alexandria herself makes a special guest appearance AS HERSELF, the manufacturer.

After 15 years of F&W Style, a debut runway show for New York Fashion Week(during Virgo season *wink* wink*) and a television appearance, we are still in awe of the month of September, and we’re keeping up the momentum for the rest of the year heading into 2026. A testament to 15 years of relationships, partnerships, evolution, and collections, never stop dreaming or building because you never know how close you are to your dreams. As we celebrate 15 years, we encourage you to take the first step to your year one, and who knows? Maybe one day you’ll be headlining your own experience at NYFW…
