Simkhai Fall 2026 puts Naomi Watts and her daughter Kai Schreiber in the same fashion campaign for the first time. Photographed by Mikael Jansson and styled by Camilla Nickerson, the pair joins Awar Odhiang, Betsy Gaghan, Malcolm McRae, and Sage Elsesser. The portraits arrive alongside a wardrobe built around texture and proportion, with black, ivory, burgundy, chocolate brown, ochre, mushroom, and charcoal keeping the palette decidedly autumnal.
Leather, suede, calf hair, cashmere, satin, silk, and organza give the season plenty to work with. 1920s boudoir references run into sharper 1960s modernism, moving from softer pieces into long outerwear and structured tailoring. Zebra-striped calf hair appears across coats, jackets, and skirts, while Simkhai shifts into brown suede, leather trousers, off-shoulder knits, and dark suiting without letting one texture dominate the lineup.
Eveningwear takes another route through satin, lace, draped jersey, fringe jacquards, bugle beads, and glass embellishment. Accessories follow with structured metal clutches, zebra-print bags and sneakers, calfskin boots, and dragonfly hardware. Between the mother-daughter casting and a wardrobe moving from plush outerwear to slick evening pieces, Fall 2026 gives every member of the campaign cast something different to inhabit.
