Street Style at Simkhai SS27 Played by Its Own Rules

Devon Windsor makes a strong case for warm, monochromatic suede as spring's new neutral. She wears a buttoned, cropped camel suede jacket paired with a low-slung, A-line suede midi skirt. The pointed dark brown leather boots and a textured clutch gave the soft suede a sharp, elevated edge.

Simone Biles brought fun fur to the front row in a sleeveless burgundy furry hide mini dress. The deep wine shade and rich texture gave a nod to Simkhai's love for unexpected fabrications. She completed the look with knee-high leather boots in the exact same rich hue for a sleek, monochromatic moment.

Amy Julliette Lefévre delivers tailored utility in an olive green suede co-ord set, featuring a high-neck jacket with polished metal buttons and matching wide-leg trousers. Styled with dark angular shades, a classic black clutch, and strappy heeled sandals, it was the perfect off-duty model look.

We love a fashion-forward couple moment! Gavin kept things sharp in an all-black ensemble layered with a sleek leather jacket. Cheyanne complemented his look in a navy corset-style jumpsuit accented with crisp white contrast stitching. She finished her outfit with thong sandals and a metallic shell clutch that felt very on trend.

Jordan Chiles brought a dramatic flair to the show with a feathery black mini dress. The tactile, movement-heavy fabric aligned seamlessly with the runway’s focus on fringe and 3D textures. Keeping the focus entirely on the dress’s volume, she styles it with a sleek updo, a black leather clutch, and crystal-embellished T-strap heels that add just enough sparkle for an evening show.

Skylar Diggins wore a head-to-toe black leather ensemble, perfectly embodying Simkhai’s love for leather. Wearing a zip-front leather top with cape-like split sleeves over relaxed leather pants, she nailed the cool, Matrix-inspired silhouette. Pointed boots, a mini croc-embossed handbag, and oversized sunglasses finished her look. It’s tough, elevated, and unapologetically New York.

In a city like New York, spring dressing can—and should—be anything you want it to be. This collection inspired me to throw out my own sartorial guidelines for the upcoming season and lean into weightier, tactile fabrics that usually stay tucked away until winter. Simkhai proved that when you get the silhouette and texture right, the season doesn't matter—it’s entirely about how those pieces make you feel the moment you put them on.
