Gabe Gordon Really Revs Its Engine for Spring/Summer 2026
With inspiration ranging from David Cronenberg to Madonna, Gabe Gordon and Timothy Gibbons brought guests to a former firehouse for an “Autoerotic” envisioning.
Gabe Gordon staged its Spring/Summer 2026 in a former firehouse. Complete with a muddied car parked on the sidewalk outside, the show started with the garage doors rising and smoke filling the entryway.
Gordin and Timothy Gibbons’ rising label calls the latest foray – and second formal New York Fashion Week runway – “Autoerotic,” a leather and lace-laden look into the linkage between demolition and masculinity.
“Desire in American visual culture is often inseparable from destruction,” read the show notes. “The erotic is frequently staged through gestures of violence, collision, rupture,” citing both David Cronenberg and Madonna as key points of inspiration.
“This entanglement is nowhere more potent than in the overlapping imaginaries of demolition derby, fetishwear, and high-gloss sexual performance. From the mechanized fantasies of J.G. Ballard’s Crash (1973) to the stylized spectacle of Madonna’s Erotica era, these cultural forms suggest that desire is not simply expressed through bodies, but through impact.”
And impact was made. No materials were off the moodboard this season. Alongside patchwork-styled knitwear come striking hardwear-heavy silver button-covered pieces as well as a pair of striking sheer latex pants.
