A NEW FALL TRADITION.

October Looks Good
on Nantucket.

October 9-11, 2026

Three days of fashion, conversation, shopping, hospitality and philanthropy—set against the island at its most intimate.

NANTUCKET, EDITED.

SCROLL TO DISCOVER

FASHION SHOW + DESIGNER CONVERSATIONS + ISLAND SHOPPING + THE AFTER PARTY + WOMEN'S HEALTH

THE WEEKEND

Featuring Jonathan Simkhai, Debi Greenberg, Tara West and Nantucket’s retailers.

THE INAUGURAL EDITION

Style Grounded in Community Impact.

Nantucket has always had style. Now it has a fashion weekend of its own.

Designers, retailers, founders, and guests come together for one October weekend of runway presentations, intimate conversations, in-store discoveries, and evenings designed to be remembered.

A portion of the proceeds from the Nantucket Edit will benefit women’s health programs at Nantucket Cottage Hospital, continuing education for the NCH staff, and community health lectures focused on women’s health topics.
