Natalie De’Banco, founder and creative director of fashion label Bronx & Banco, has built a brand that celebrates women in every sense- and her newest collection is now housed at the Bronx and Banco showroom in NYC.
The Spring/Summer 2026: Concrete Safari collection is now on full display at 166 Mercer St. in a space worthy of the pieces it holds. Like her collections before, her continued exploration of nature shows, this time in earth tones, desert neutrals, and exotic prints, she fuses into structured fabrics. The draped silhouettes, sharp tailoring, dramatic cut-outs, and feathers in great length are signatures impossible to miss.
Since its launch in 2009, the Australian label has been praised for its attention to detail in every look, whether regarding inclusivity and wearability or the global influences and socio-environmental conversations that the designs bring with them. Whether looking back to the tropical color-ways in the Spring/Summer 2024 collection, Lost in Paradise– inspired by De’Banco’s experiences in Bali and her engagement with the island’s ecological and social challenges- or looking ahead to the neutrals and molten metallics of this collection, the newest designs are a love letter.
De’Banco has created countless bridal looks since launching her brand, but this season’s pieces introduced romance in a new way- through classic lace and 3d floral appliques, through cascading chain details and hand-embellishments, through structured bodices and a range of silhouettes meant to invoke bold femininity.
The looks- old, new, and custom- are favored by celebrities including Beyonce, Miley Cyrus, Megan Fox, Ciara, Megan Thee Stallion, Mary J. Blige, Vanessa Hudgens, Paris Hilton, and so many more.
From jewelry to dresses to handbags, you can see all of these looks on the 2nd floor of 166 Mercer Street, New York, NY 10012.
