Brooklyn, NY – September 7, 2025

Emerging label Maison Ciel opened the Histoire Blanche NYFW SS26 showcase with a structured evening look that balanced romance and strength. The opening design featured a gem-studded oxblood bodice over a fluid champagne drape, worn by model Jessica Grant, whose sharp presence set the tone for the evening.

The showcase took place at 198 North 4th Street, Williamsburg, a repurposed industrial loft known for its intimate runway presentations. Hosted by Histoire Blanche, a platform spotlighting independent and international designers, the evening brought together a curated roster of nine fashion houses.

Merhan Keller, show producer and founder of High Society Modeling & Creative Agency, also walked the runway—underscoring her dual role in both production and presentation.

Histoire Blanche continues to expand across fashion capitals, with seasonal showcases in New York and Paris, offering a growing platform for designers seeking global reach.
