ABOUT THE NANTUCKET EDIT
Nantucket's Next Story Begins October 9, 2026.
A first-of-its-kind, three-day fashion event bringing purpose together on Nantucket. Where fashion meets historic island craftsmanship. Co-created alongside Nantucket's iconic local retailers, creative founders, and culinary voices.
WHY OCTOBER
October Looks Good on Nantucket.
October offers a different version of Nantucket. The architecture feels more present. Restaurants become more conversational. Shopping locally becomes more personal. The pace gives guests time to notice the details.
By placing the weekend in October, The Edit can support businesses beyond the summer peak while giving visitors a compelling reason to experience the island in a more intimate season.
The Nantucket Edit brings established designers, local talent, national brands, island retailers, media, and guests together for three days of carefully edited programming.
The weekend is being built as another reason to experience Nantucket in the fall, a platform for design talent, a commercial opportunity for local businesses, and a vehicle for investing in the year-round community.
Our Mission
01
Fashion
A disciplined edit of designers, collections, voices, and ideas rather than an overcrowded marketplace.
To establish Nantucket as the Northeast's premier destination for coastal fashion and design —extending the island's cultural and economic season.
By extending the island’s cultural and economic season, elevating established and emerging talent, supporting local commerce, and strengthening the year-round community.
02
Place
Nantucket is treated as a cultural setting with its own aesthetic intelligence, not a theme to be reproduced.
03
Commerce
The weekend is designed to generate meaningful traffic for island hotels, restaurants, retailers, and service businesses.
04
Purpose
A portion of proceeds will support women’s health programming on Nantucket.
WOMEN’S HEALTH
Investing in Women on Nantucket.
Fashion leaves something lasting behind. A dedicated portion of all ticket proceeds directly funds critical year-round women’s health programming right here on the island, ensuring our impact supports the local community long after the autumn runways are cleared.
Built for Nantucket. Built for the Community.
