I don’t know why, but I only just heard of the brand Area. And after watching their Spring/Summer 2026 collection, I want to learn even more. I saw what felt like the epitome of a New York girl: bold, risk-taking style, with a dash of glamour. There were metallic rope dresses and skirts that seemed ready for a night out.

And the tie front jeans that were impractical, but definitely a look.

And the sculptural dresses had me yearning for an occasion to wear one to make a statement. Maybe brunch would do. I think I could make that happen.

This show was the debut of Nicholas Aburn as creative director as the brand. His play with texture, fabric, and sculptural details showed the kind of fun that I want to have with fashion. I want to look good and have a good time doing it.
