For Spring 2026, Sergio Hudson Wants Women to Find the Joy in Dressing Up

In Fashionista’s review of Sergio Hudson’s Spring 2026 runway show, the designer emphasized joy, color, tailoring, and corsetry in his 35‑look collection — and turned heads by casting Olandria Carthen, the Love Island USA star and Nic Vansteenberghe’s girlfriend, as a runway model rather than having her sit front row as expected. Her presence on the catwalk generated buzz, with attendees initially puzzled that she wasn’t seated with Nic before learning she was walking. This moment underscored how Olandria is crossing over from reality television into high‑fashion modeling, helping bridge pop culture and serious fashion buzz within major fashion week coverage.
