Luxury fashion house NARDOS unveiled its Spring/Summer 2026 collection in the Grand Ballroom of The Pierre Hotel in New York City. Creative Director Nardos Imam continues to propel the brand forward, bringing an intricate and unparalleled approach to luxury design.
The Spring/Summer 2026 collection captures the transformative beauty of rebirth. Inspired by the poetic cadence of Shakespearean plays and the organic curves found in nature, the collection evokes renewal through fluid fabrics, delicate tones, and emotive silhouettes. Imam’s designs embody her belief that clothing should stir emotion—textiles “dancing” as they move, telling stories without words.
Styled by Imam and Grazia USA Editor in Chief, Joseph Erico, the collection reflects Imam’s signature balance of nostalgia and modernity. Each piece offers women garments that convey both strength and romance, carrying forward her vision of fashion as a living performance.
