Fashion’s fascination with nostalgia continues to reshape summer 2026, but this season’s most unexpected revival isn’t a handbag or a shoe — it’s the capri pant. The mid-calf silhouette, once synonymous with Audrey Hepburn’s effortless elegance and later embraced throughout the ’90s, has quietly become one of the most defining wardrobe staples of the present day. Designers were among the first to signal the shift. Spring 2026 collections from Ralph Lauren, Proenza Schouler, Dries Van Noten, Maison Margiela, and Carolina Herrera reintroduced capri pants in everything from tailored suiting to slim knit separates, while Khaite and Jacquemus demonstrated how the style could feel sleek, modern, and undeniably sophisticated. Beyond the runways, capri pants are being cosigned by fashion insiders who are...

It’s the morning before the opening night of “Shifters” at the Cherry Lane Theatre, and British actress Heather Agyepong is ready for the moment. New Yorkers are, too. “ New York audiences are delicious,” says Agyepong, who stars in the intimate off-Broadway production following its acclaimed run in London. “They’re very responsive.

It seems like people are really ready to connect emotionally to the work,” she says, adding that while audiences in London tended to be more reserved in their vocal reactions, “New York audiences feel like they’re locked in from the jump.” The buzzy play debuted at the Bush Theatre in 2024 before transferring to the West End, picking up Olivier Award nominations in 2025 for best new play and best actress for Agyepong. Idris Elba, Little Simz and Danai Gurira joined the producing team for the show’s New York run, slated through the end of August. “Ther...

There are two types of people in this world: those who carry a portable fan everywhere they go in the summer and those who wish they had one. After weeks of relentless heatwaves, summer 2026 has officially become the season of personal cooling. Across the U.S., tens of millions of Americans have been placed under extreme heat alerts as temperatures climbed well above seasonal averages, while Western Europe recorded its hottest June on record. At Wimbledon, the heat became almost as much of a talking point as the tennis, with Kate Middleton, Prince George, and Queen Camilla all using handheld fans in the royal box. Battery-powered fans similarly became a familiar sighting at festivals and even fashion shows in the past few months, as editors and guests carried them between Paris Fashion Week venues while temperatures approached 100°...

Sandra Powers Murphy cut her teeth on Wall Street,  started her own broker-dealer, published a book on marketing consulting, and otherwise stayed about as far away from the footwear industry as one can. Then, the mother of six experienced an awakening — in the form of a work trip to New York.  ”It was 7:00 p.m., and I really wanted to catch the last train back to Boston. It was pouring rain and there were no cabs, if you can imagine a time before Uber, and I was like, ‘The only way I’m making this train is by taking off my shoes and running the 10 blocks,'” Murphy tells Footwear News. “Which is literally what I did, and when I got to Penn Station, I thought, ‘Oh my God. I probably just gave myself meningitis.’ How is this possibly what women were stuck dealing with? I j...
