New York City Ballet's Fall Fashion Gala, which pairs new choreography with runway-adjacent costume design, returns October 1, 2026, with world premieres from Jennifer Archibald, making her NYCB debut with costumes by London-based designer Robert Wun, and Alysa Pires, creating her second commission for the company with costumes by Amsterdam fashion house Viktor&Rolf. NYCB resident choreographer Justin Peck has since been added to the same evening with a third premiere, costumed by Irish designer Simone Rocha — giving the gala's fashion-forward format a rare pairing of a resident choreographer alongside two guest artists in a single program.
