Marking Pratt Institute’s 125th annual showcase, the New York-based university held its 2026 Pratt Fashion Show at Powerhouse Arts on Thursday. Split between an afternoon and evening presentation, the runway event spotlighted 155 looks by 28 graduating fashion design students.
Womenswear, menswear and unisex silhouettes debuted on the runway, with many students exploring weaving, embroidery, hand-dyeing and other textile techniques through their creations. Sustainability also played a crucial role in the designs, as the graduating students were required to commit to a minimum of 20% responsibly or sustainably sourced resources within their collections (though many students exceeded this requirement, Fashion Department Chairperson Lisa Z. Morgan said in a statement).
Before the runway began, Korina Emmerich of Emme Studio was awarded Pratt Institute’s 2026 Fashion Visionary Award. “I was so impressed by how much every student at Pratt held their collection so close to their heart,” Emmerich said. “It wasn’t about something that was easy to reproduce. It was about making something that meant something.”
Pratt’s Fashion Department also honored graduating student Caleb Callahan with the 2026 Christopher Hunte “On Point” Award for his “Cork, Kerala” collection, which sartorially explored Irish and Indian anti-colonial histories.
Ahead, see all the looks from Pratt Institute’s 2026 Fashion Show.
