Ulla Johnson Debuts S/S 2027 Collection at Gotham Park, Donates 750 Native Plants and 12 Trees

Key facts

• Ulla Johnson showed her S/S 2027 collection at Gotham Park in Manhattan on Monday, 14 September 2026, during New York Fashion Week.
• Gotham Park is located under the Brooklyn Bridge on the Manhattan side and was previously known as Brooklyn Banks, a skate park that was a cradle of street skating in the 1980s.
• A grassroots movement to save the skatepark and reclaim Brooklyn Banks began in 2020; the newly named Gotham Park opened in 2023 and will eventually stretch nine acres.
• After the show, Johnson donated 750 native plants and 12 trees in collaboration with Field Operations, the agency responsible for landscaping the High Line.
• Johnson described the collection as an ode to the 'self-expression' and 'self-invention' of New York women, with collection notes beginning 'all New York's runway.'
• The collection's mood was described by Johnson as 'urban pastoral,' juxtaposing tailored jackets and shorts, trench coats, and macintosh jackets with whimsical elements like ruffled gowns adorned with flowers and shoes with raffia pom-poms.
• Johnson said the project responds to the ephemeral nature of a runway show, noting 'There's so much impermanence to what happens in these 15 minutes.'
