A gathering of friends, a coming together of family and family to be. Colbo’s first runway presentation was four years of life memorialized in clothing and communion. A collective celebration. An evolution.
Models, all Colbo pals, dressed for everyday ease with sunglasses and neckties and even their child. Music played loud, because music is inextricable from both Colbo and Public Records, the Brooklyn venue that hosted the show. The two are intertwined — Colbo cofounder Tal Silberstein and Public Records cofounder Shane Davis previously worked together, sharing a sense of spiritual curiosity that remains intact, as indicated by the live Alice Coltrane performance that opened Colbo’s runway show. It closed to the strains of an Italian cinema score, a manifestation of the textiles custom-made in Italy for Colbo. Spiritual to material.
The soundtrack, like the venue and the cast, reflect Colbo’s ongoing journey. The influence of Hare Krishna’s wrapped dress — Silberstein briefly lived with a congregation while traveling India — is balanced by nods to the late Giorgio Armani, another student of traditional dress. Spiritual to material.
A signature palette of almond and sand shapes Colbo Spring/Summer 2026, gently interrupted by mud brown, forest green, dust grey, even quenching blue. Throughout, atop and around and under, old friends meet new: half-zip pullovers, knee-length coats, coulisse trousers, generous shorts, and even more generous shirts intermingle, adjusted to the wearer’s liking — size up, size down, tuck in, let flow. Cut from ice-dyed corduroy and washed cotton-linen velvet, rumpled linen and elegant suiting wool, bespoke Italian textiles and rare deadstock fabrics, these clothes are made in New York — just like Colbo.
Underfoot, Sperry’s boat shoe was doused in paint that cracked and flecked with each step; sanded; oiled; cut into backless mules. It became a pre-loved indoor-outdoor slipper for the Colbo uniform. Material to spiritual.
The line feels soft and inviting like Colbo's downtown NYC flagship store, where coffee isn't just a drink but another favorite color (though it is also, of course, very much a drink). Come by any day of the week to see and sit with Colbo’s clothes, the people who inspired the show, and the people who will inspire the next one. Because what are great clothes without great people inside them?
