Derek Lam 10 Crosby NYFW SS26

Derek Lam 10 Crosby: A Cinematic Debut

Derek Lam 10 Crosby unveiled Reflections in Time at the Crosby Street Hotel.  Drawing inspiration from travel and the effortless style of the modern Crosby woman, the presentation had a strong turnout of buyers and editors, with standout reactions to the new balloon cargo pant, updated dress silhouettes, and crisp poplin shirting. A collection designed for movement and discovery, it captured the ease and sophistication the brand is known for.

• 21 looks featuring soft tailoring and satin utility wear.

• Standout innovation: lace-embroidered denim that balanced utility with delicacy.

• Distorted florals and bold prints with a dreamlike edge.

Celebrities including Natalie Lim Suarez, Coco Schiffer, and Vivian Tu joined a packed house, cementing Derek Lam 10 Crosby’s move into the NYFW spotlight.

Alice + Olivia: The American Woman

The American Woman, Stacey Bendet’s vision blended theatrical staging with a powerful message of heritage and female empowerment. A collection rooted in storytelling, it was both whimsical and symbolic — quintessential Alice + Olivia.

Highlights:
• 45 looks spanning structured suiting, sweeping gowns, and playful separates.
• Key details included ruffled collars, puffed sleeves, pearl- and rhinestone-embroidered denim, and tiered lace silhouettes.
• A Lady Liberty–inspired gown cascaded dramatically down marble steps, stealing the show.

The Future of Fashion eCommerce

The future of eCommerce in fashion and beauty is being shaped by visual storytelling, and digital designers and art directors are leading the charge. Today’s consumers expect seamless online experiences that are not only easy to navigate but also visually compelling. It’s this fusion of creativity and functionality that sets brands apart.

Digital designers play a key role in crafting a brand’s online identity. Through UX/UI, motion graphics, and elevated content, they turn product pages into immersive experiences. Whether it's a homepage that draws you in or a checkout flow that keeps you moving, their work has a direct impact on engagement and conversion.

Social commerce continues to push these boundaries. Platforms like Instagram and TikTok have become more than just marketing channels—they're shopping destinations. Designers now have to think about vertical video, interactive features, and branded content that feels native to each platform.

Trends in eCommerce design are shifting toward minimalist layouts, immersive storytelling, and mobile-first experiences. Product pages are clean, content is tailored to each screen size, and brand visuals are elevated to mirror the in-store experience—only now, it's happening entirely online.

Hiring the right creative talent is more important than ever. At EB, we help fashion and beauty brands find Digital Designers and Art Directors who bring the technical expertise and aesthetic intuition needed to thrive in this fast-moving space. Whether you’re launching a new site or leveling up your content, we’ll help you find the talent who can bring your vision to life. Connect with us!
