A New York Celebration: Duck Head's Fall 2026 Launch in the City

Rachel Dowd

The city that never sleeps hardly needs an excuse for a night out, but the arrival of fall felt like a good one. On September 29th, our team, joined by new and old friends, celebrated the launch of our fall collection at one of New York’s most iconic spots – the Waverly Inn.

Set in the heart of the West Village, the inn provided a fitting setting for a collection of “Old, New Classics”. The intimate atmosphere invited guests to settle in, catch up with familiar faces, get to know new ones, and spark conversations from favorite pieces to plans for the season ahead.

Of course, the clothes had a large part to play in the evening. Guests arrived with their own take on the collection, bringing fresh combinations and personal touches to familiar Duck Head styles. Sometimes all it takes to see an old favorite in new light is spotting it on someone else across the room.

For those looking to make the collection their own (literally), our embroidery pop-up shop offered a personal touch. Guests chose a Duck Head shirt and had it custom embroidered, leaving them with a little something that was unmistakably theirs.

If the rest of fall follows suit, we are in for a good season. Our thanks to everyone who helped welcome fall at the Waverly Inn.
