The Edit (About)

A New Chapter for Nantucket

Nantucket has long inspired artists, architects, writers, designers, and tastemakers.

Yet despite its extraordinary influence, the island has never had a signature fashion event.

The Nantucket Edit changes that.

Created as an annual luxury fashion and lifestyle weekend, The Nantucket Edit brings together internationally recognized designers, creative leaders, luxury brands, local retailers, and visitors for an experience unlike anything else in New England.

Rooted in thoughtful hospitality and elevated design, the event celebrates creativity while extending Nantucket's cultural season and generating meaningful economic impact for the island community.

The Edit is a destination lifestyle brand curating extraordinary gatherings, cultural moments, and insider experiences in the places people can't wait to return to.

Every Edit supports local businesses, nonprofits, artists, chefs, and makers. That’s our purpose.

Our Mission

To establish Nantucket as the Northeast's premier destination for coastal fashion and design —extending the island's cultural and economic season, elevating emerging and established designers, investing in the next generation of fashion talent, and strengthening the island's year-round community through an annual event that brings beauty, business, and purpose together on one of America's most extraordinary stages.
