TEREZ Makes Its NYFW Runway Debut
The New York-based sportswear brand brought fashion, fandom and hometown pride together for its runway debut, complete with a first look at an Anne Hathaway collaboration.
TEREZ brought the energy of New York sports to New York Fashion Week with the debut of its first-ever runway show in downtown Manhattan.
Founded by Zara Terez Tisch, the premium fashion sportswear brand transformed its NYFW moment into a celebration of the city that helped shape its identity. The stadium-inspired presentation blended fashion and athletics while spotlighting some of New York’s most recognizable professional sports teams.
The collection paid homage to the New York Knicks, Yankees, Giants, Rangers, Brooklyn Nets, Mets, Jets, Gotham FC and New York Liberty. Familiar sportswear staples including bomber jackets, windbreakers and sweatshirts appeared alongside TEREZ bestsellers, editorial looks and upcoming releases.
One of the biggest surprises came with the first glimpse of a new capsule collection created in collaboration with Academy Award-winning actress and longtime Knicks fan Anne Hathaway.
Named Garden Gravity, the collaboration draws inspiration from the unmistakable energy inside Madison Square Garden when a major game reaches its peak.
“There’s something about getting the best fans in the world together with absolute greatness … and feeling the entire Garden lift off,” Hathaway said.
Hathaway coined “Garden Gravity” to describe that feeling of excitement and possibility inside the arena, translating the idea into a fashion-forward collaboration with TEREZ. The first piece debuted during the runway show, with additional releases expected to follow.
Fashion Meets the New York Sports World
Celebrity stylist Erin Walsh styled the runway, which also brought several familiar faces from the New York sports community onto the catwalk.
Ali Brunson, wife of New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson; Marissa Ayers, girlfriend of New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart; and Katia Lindor, wife of New York Mets player Francisco Lindor, all appeared in the show.
The audience reflected the same intersection of entertainment, sports and fashion. Guests included Love Island star Liv Walker, Shannon Hart, wife of NBA champion Josh Hart, The Chainsmokers’ Alex Pall, Summer House personality KJ Dilliard, and The Bachelor alum Natasha Parker.
The runway marked another step in TEREZ’s evolution from activewear label to a growing force in premium sports fashion.
Since launching in 2008, the brand has focused on creating clothing for women and girls that combines performance, nostalgia and everyday style. That approach expanded further in 2022 when TEREZ partnered with Major League Baseball to introduce fashion-forward fan apparel across nine teams.
TEREZ has since grown its sports portfolio through partnerships involving the NBA, NHL, WNBA, NWSL and NFL.
Rather than designing merchandise meant only for game day, the brand has increasingly positioned team apparel as part of a broader wardrobe—pieces that can move from the stadium into everyday life without losing their connection to sports culture.
Its NYFW debut captured that philosophy on a larger scale. With a stadium-inspired runway, New York team references, and a major celebrity collaboration, TEREZ showed how quickly the lines between traditional fanwear and fashion continue to disappear.
Special partners for the runway presentation included Madison Avenue Couture and London Jewelers.
