About HighRisk FW26
Tommy Duncan’s HighRisk officially became the first brand to stage an outdoor runway show at Two Rodeo Drive, transforming the iconic luxury landmark into a commanding, after-dark presentation of FW26.
Set against the architectural grandeur of Rodeo Drive, HighRisk delivered a star-studded, immersive expression of artistic discipline and creative dominance. Guests entered an elevated arrival experience framed by a striking installation of over 100 bottles of Ace of Spades, a bold visual cue that the evening would operate at an exceptional level. The silhouettes were deliberate. The execution, impeccable.
The show opened with live percussion, setting a powerful cadence as the presentation unfolded through rhythm, control, and elevation in motion. Models advanced with measured authority, embodying the mentality required to operate at the highest level — a mindset shaped by endurance, sacrifice, and the scars that accompany ascension. FW26 reinforced HighRisk’s positioning as the entrepreneur’s uniform: luxury casualwear designed for individuals who operate under pressure, built for visibility, and constructed for longevity.
Runway featured: Jessie James Combs, D’Lila Star Combs, Jeremy Meeks, and recording artist Orange.
In attendance: Jamie Foxx, Playboi Carti, Ken Carson, Coi Leray, G Herbo, Raven-Symoné, Miranda Pearman-Maday, Deon Cole, Rocsi Diaz, Trevor Jackson, Kyle Massey, Chris Massey, Ace Green, Hit-Boy, Dorion Renaud, Ugo Mozie, and Manny Halley.
HighRisk is favored by industry leaders including Chris Brown, Teyana Taylor, Ludacris, numerous NBA and NFL athletes, and influential entrepreneurs across industries.
Founder Tommy Duncan is known for taking individuals from elevation to levitation — a philosophy that defines progression beyond arrival. HighRisk is the entrepreneur’s uniform: luxury casualwear for those who understand that success has levels and that remaining at the top demands discipline, confidence, stamina, and self-belief. Every piece is engineered with intention. Precision tailoring meets elevated comfort. Proportions are deliberate. Materials refined. Each garment constructed for the subtle flex. Tommy Duncan is available for post-show interviews and commentary on the brand’s continued expansion.
