Hey, Sharon, you're right.

I am at Michael Kors, where he is celebrating 45 years in business, and he's doing this at the Metropolitan Opera House at Lincoln Center.

Now he's going to have some celebrity friends here to help him do that, Uma Thurman, Ben Platt, Mary J. Blige, and a host of others that will be a surprise to some of us.

And in terms of the energy that you asked about, people are happy.

They're cold, but they're happy to be here and to see what's the latest for fall 2026.

When it comes to trends, we are seeing tweed, which is expected for fall, but also browns.

Brown in evening wear, day wear.

We saw this at Ralph Lauren, a little bit at public school.

Public school was heavy on the leather, which is another trend we're seeing.

either buttery smooth leather or pebble leather.

We're also seeing embellishments.

This is either crystals or sequins and floral.

Florals in black lace, but also pretty pastels.
