L’AGENCE staged its Spring 2026 presentation on September 10 at the Celeste Bartos Forum inside The New York Public Library, transforming the landmark space into a vibrant scene during New York Fashion Week. Titled “After Hours,” the collection drew inspiration from the moment day turns into night, evoking the allure of velvet ropes and the thrill of endless possibility. Models were arranged in the round while DJ Isabella Massenet filled the room with disco and dance tracks, setting the tone for a night-out fantasy. Guests sipped Don Julio cocktails, Avaline wine, and Voss water as they took in the designs.
The production was led by Fashion Director Tara Rudes-Dann with creative contributions from Art Director Lilly Bircher and Stylist Sofia Karvela. The show featured light design by Thierry Dreyfus, set design by Hans Maharawal, hair by IGK Hair under Liz Rim, and makeup by Bobbi Brown led by Cassandra Garcia. Florals were created by Pop Up Florist, and the evening closed with a flourish befitting L’AGENCE’s signature blend of Parisian chic and Los Angeles glamour. Notable attendees included Lindsay Lohan, Martha Stewart, Heather Graham, Sailor Brinkley-Cook, Jamie Chung, Chanel Iman, June Ambrose, Ricki Lake, and Pamela Tick, among others.
Founded in 2008 by Jeff Rudes and Ron Herman, L’AGENCE has built a devoted following of Hollywood names and their stylists. With its Spring 2026 debut at the New York.
