British fashion powerhouse Oh Polly and global style icon Cindy Kimberly made a sensational debut at New York Fashion Week with their collaborative Spring/Summer 2026 collection, Vita Velata. Held at the historic Weylin in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, the showcase delivered a cinematic celebration of bold femininity, vintage glamour, and modern sensuality.
The runway featured 25 striking looks, each designed to embody the confident, sculpted aesthetic that defines Oh Polly’s brand. From crystal embellishments to animal prints and luxe textures, the collection set the tone for the season’s most defining trends.
Cindy Kimberly, who co-designed the collection and closed the show in a dramatic animal print gown, captivated the audience with her dual role as muse and model. “This collection is a love letter to the women who dare to be seen,” said Kimberly. “It’s about power, elegance, and unapologetic beauty.”
The Vita Velata collection drew inspiration from Italy’s golden fashion era, blending 90s silhouettes with mob-wife glam and editorial drama. Key trends included:
- Reimagined Animal Prints: Luxe leopard and snake motifs with a refined edge.
- Crystal Detailing: Sparkling embellishments that elevate eveningwear.
- Vintage Revival: Nostalgic cuts and textures with a modern twist.
- Empowered Femininity: Designs that celebrate curves and confidence.
The venue, a restored 19th-century bank with a 110-foot dome and stained glass windows, provided a majestic backdrop that amplified the drama and elegance of the show.
Models including Kristy Baez, Priscilla Ricart, Cristal Serrano, and Davina Bennett graced the runway, bringing the collection’s vision to life with poise and power.
With Vita Velata, Oh Polly, and Cindy Kimberly have not only made a bold entrance into the NYFW scene—they’ve defined the aesthetic direction for Spring/Summer 2026.
