On September 10, 2026, New York elected officials swapped partisan politics for runway couture at the iconic Metropolitan Opera House at Lincoln Center for the third annual Style Across the Aisle fashion show. Founded by Skye Ostreicher, the bipartisan showcase paired leaders from across the political spectrum—including Representative Tom Suozzi, City Council Speaker Julie Menin, Comptroller Mark Levine, and Commissioner Rafael Espinal—with local designers representing their home boroughs. The evening also marked a solemn milestone, pausing for a moment of silence in observance of the 25th anniversary of 9/11.

APB was on the ground with exclusive access as political rivals stepped out together in celebration of local craftsmanship, culture, and community impact. Beyond the runway spotlight, organizers announced the launch of the Style Across the Aisle Foundation, partnering with Witness to Mass Incarceration to turn this rare cross-aisle momentum into year-round vocational fashion and tailoring programs for justice-impacted youth.
