Vogue’s February 12, 2026 runway review names Karen Elson and Delfine Bafort as the bookends of TWP’s fall 2026 show, with Elson closing. The review describes Trish Wescoat Pound’s warm charcoals, chocolate tones, flat shoes and practical layers.

DNA Models represents Elson in New York and identifies her hair as red. The agency also credited her March 2026 Burberry Trenches campaign to photographer Tim Walker.

The OMGinger edit is about authority rather than novelty: a cream coat, purposeful boot and a silhouette that moves as though it has somewhere better to be. That styling note is our opinion; the show credit is reported fact.
