As fashion month draws closer to an end, there is often a growing appetite for the season’s newest designs. Having witnessed some of the industry’s brightest minds showcase their latest thinking around modern dressing, it’s hard to resist the urge to splurge on some of these wearable works of art. Fortunately for us all, there are a select few collections that you can purchase immediately, rather than waiting until August when the fall designs shown this season typically drop. Some of these pieces are available for pre-order, and others will ship to your home immediately—but either way, it is still a luxury to buy directly off the runway in the fashion world. From oversized knits to soft cream sweater dresses and ladylike denim, here are some pieces that you can buy directly off the runway today.
Off-White
Showing a spring-summer collection at the beginning of February, right before what would be the start of the typical fall-winter fashion week, Virgil Abloh turned the traditional fashion schedule on its head. Off-White’s latest collection features tailored blazers, pleated skirts, wide-leg pants, and silk shirts galore. Some of the items are available to purchase right now, like this botanical pattern button up.

Another brand that showed a spring-summer collection in the traditional fall winter time slot—and made the collection readily available for purchase—is Monse. The design duo behind the brand, Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia, repurposed leftover materials and samples, creating an upcycled collection that is both sustainable and practical for the time we’re living in. This polka dot romper is one of the many pieces available now.
