At Sunday evening’s fashion show from the brand Kith, the weather gods toyed with the label’s effort to stage its first fashion show in six years. Entitled “Institution”, the runway spectacle scheduled for 6:30 PM was held outside the brand’s newly renovated Manhattan flagship store at 337 Lafayette Street in Noho. Minutes prior, an unexpected thunderstorm sped through the New York City area, causing a torrential downpour. Fortunately, it passed through almost as quickly as it appeared, clearing the skies for Ronnie Fieg‘s vision for Fall 2025 to parade down the astroturf runway in the street, in front of the boutique that routinely has lines outside of it.
Adding to the festive environment was a performance by rapper and longtime friend of Fieg, Gashi and Jimi Banks, after his recent album release, The Killah Whales of Gotham, who provided the soundtrack for celebs-cum-models Jordan Clarkson, Jim Jones, Dave East, Victor Cruz, and Malik Nabers, who walked in the show.

Also in attendance were Carmelo Anthony, John Leguizamo, and his son, who have starred in Kith campaigns; Fabolous, Westside Gunn, Joey Bada$$, Frances Tiafoe, Heidi Klum and her son Johan Samuel, there to cheer on Klum’s other son, model Henry Samuel, and Michael Strahan and his daughters, Isabella and Sophia.
For a brand most associated with its logo Tees, the collection showed a twist on its casual roots with one of its most elevated collections to date. This was mainly due to the return of a brand sub-label &Kin, which reimagines core brand concepts in premium fabrications—think rich suedes, smooth leathers, Italian wool suiting, and Mohair sweaters. The collection blended its street-inspired ethos with tailored silhouettes for a style mélange best expressing its viewpoint. To wit, a shirt and tie styled under a football-inspired jersey and paired with a suede bomber-style jacket and pin-striped shorts, or a double-breasted brown suit worn with a green leather Kith team jacket. The effect was achieved by layering in the brand’s Kith Classics and second generation of K-Tech, Kith’s newly introduced lifestyle and performance collection. In true New York spirit, the show was peppered with styles branded with New York teams such as the Yankees and the Knicks, as well as the NFL.

The release also features the brand’s most robust accessories offerings with its Suede Monogram Program, featuring the introduction of signature carryall bags in new sizes, crossbodies, and small leather goods such as belts and cardholders made of premium Kith Monogram debossed cowhide suede. Each style from this collection is offered in hues from the Kith Palette—Stadium, Ink, Incognito, Magma, and Black.
The news for Kith’s fall footwear comes via Founder, CEO & Creative Director, Ronnie Fieg’s newest iteration of the Black-Tie Superstar, and Kith’s latest partnership with Birkenstock to debut the Braided Boston silhouette, featuring the duo’s hand-braided execution on Birkenstock’s iconic silhouette.
Also featured were select future collaborations, including partnerships with Adidas on a new Heritage Running offering, Kith’s second chapter of Adidas Football, and Ronnie Fieg’s latest 8th St. Wallabee Collection with Adidas Originals and Clarks Originals, and Kith’s newest 101 Program with Japanese brand, Ssstein, previewing the Winter 2025 Collection.
