Dennis Basso unveiled his Spring/Summer 2026 collection inside the Columbus Citizens Foundation Townhouse, 8 East 69th Street, presented as an exhibition rather than a runway. Gowns and evening ensembles were displayed throughout the ornate rooms, allowing guests to move closely among the designs and see details up front.

Basso referred to the collection as “New World Glamour,” celebrating the strong American woman. The work highlighted airy silks, organza, pleated chiffon, and hand embroidery, with a color story of mint, buttercup, pearl blue, and the timeless contrast of black and white.

Throughout the evening, Basso personally greeted and chatted with attendees, pointing out details of the gowns and engaging in conversation about the inspiration. The mix of couture gowns, signature furs, and select Dennis by Dennis Basso QVC looks emphasized his range — from luxury eveningwear to accessible separates.
