Bronx and Banco took New York Fashion Week by storm with a captivating runway presentation on Sept. 15.
For the Spring/Summer 2026 collection, Concrete Safari: a celebration of Natalie De’Banco’s love for animals and youth, came to life. All the stunning looks made the inner rock goddess come to life.

The spring 2026 collection offers a dynamic collision of modern sportswear and evening wear, combining precision tailoring with an array of effortlessly slinky silhouettes with a raw edge into one singular wardrobe.
Oversized jackets and sleek separates offer an ease of dressing that speaks to the dichotomies of the modern woman – unfussy, yet cultivated, and always cool. A color palette of striking ivory and seafoam is grounded by earthy sage and terracotta, at times met with hyper-real safari graphics, accented with gold spine-like accents and hand crocheted details. The brand’s new line of in-house accessories helps bridge the gap between day dressing and occasion wear, created to be tailored to the rhythm of the New York woman’s everyday needs.
