September in New York is always electric—but this season, the city feels like it’s humming at an entirely new frequency.

The result? A runway season that’s as much about memory as it is about possibility. Front rows are more diverse, street style is more fearless, and the conversation around sustainability is no longer just a trend—it’s the heartbeat…

In the evolving landscape of contemporary fashion, few designers approach their craft with the emotional depth and intentionality of Asato.

“To give an authentic performance, you have to be able to put yourself in the shoes of a character without judgment. Even when there’s violence, hatred, or extreme behavior, you have to ask, ‘What kind of pain or belief system would lead someone here?’” says Michelle Carney, her voice calm but charged with conviction. That philosophy was tested in one of her most challenging roles: playing a stalker who takes a hostage at gunpoint. “She was a character driven by obsession, desperation, and emotional chaos. If you know me, you know that’s the almost complete opposite of who I am. I’m calm, grounded, and rarely raise my voice. That role forced me to stretch my imagination and confront the darker, messier sides of human nature.” By the end of that…
