New York Fashion Week may be calling the fashion set to the East Coast soon, but last night they popped up in San Francisco to see CULT100 2025 honoree Thom Browne stage his Fall/Winter 2026 show with GQ. From entertainers including Teyana Taylor, Queen Latifah, and Francois Arnaud, to football players Ja’Marr Chase, Deandre Hopkins, and Justin Jefferson, the brand gathered an all-star cast of supporters to witness the pre-game fanfare. Built around the Super Bowl, which will take over the nearby Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara on Sunday, and with a cadre of athletes in-tow, the show—GQ‘s follow-up to their first edition with Bode for the 2025 game in New Orleans—offered precision suiting and Browne’s signature whimsy (pom pom heels, anyone?) as tone setters. Between fittings, glam, and a discerning eye from the runway itself, model and fashion enthusiast Ashtin Earle weaved through it all with grace. For CULTURED, she captured the rhythm behind the spectacle, and the details that made the night feel unmistakably Thom Browne.
