This weekend, Frank Family Vineyards Founder Leslie Frank and the Frank Family team traded the vineyards of Napa Valley for the energy of New York Fashion Week, joining luxury fashion house SIMKHAI to celebrate the debut of their Spring 2027 collection.
As part of the brands’ year-long partnership, Frank Family wines were poured throughout the evening, bringing a taste of Napa Valley to one of New York’s most anticipated fashion events.
From the Vineyard to the Runway
Guests were welcomed to the SIMKHAI runway show with pours of Frank Family Carneros Chardonnay, Leslie Rosé, and a refreshing wine spritzer made with Frank Family Blanc de Blancs before taking their seats for the Spring 2027 collection. The experience brought together the artistry of SIMKHAI’s latest designs with the elegance and hospitality of Frank Family.
The celebration continued at the official after-party at BOOM, where a custom Frank Family bar anchored the evening alongside a striking co-branded ice sculpture, artfully designed to hold Frank Family wines and caviar.
The star-studded guest list included some of the biggest names across fashion, sports, and entertainment, including Simone Biles, Venus Williams, and actors François Arnaud, Gavin Casalegno, and Supriya Ganesh.
A Partnership Rooted in Craftsmanship
For Frank Family Founder Leslie Frank, the connection between wine and fashion is a natural one. Her longtime appreciation for fashion, style, and design helped inspire the partnership with SIMKHAI, bringing together two creative worlds that share a deep appreciation for craftsmanship, artistry, and attention to detail.
The New York Fashion Week celebration was the first chapter in a year-long collaboration between Frank Family and SIMKHAI, with more opportunities to bring these two worlds together in New York and Napa Valley.
From the runway to the after-party, the evening was a celebration of the artistry, hospitality, and shared spirit that make this partnership such a natural fit — with a little Napa Valley in every glass.
