Part 2 of my A/W26 runway trend predictions dives into pattern, colour and texture. The core details that bring collections to life. From patchwork denim and quirky polka dots to trompe l’œil illusions, texture overload, statement shoes and a strong hunch that green is the colour of the season, these are the trends I predict will bring the drama to the runway as Fashion Month kicks off!! AHHH.

From Marco Rambaldi’s crochet masterpieces to Blumarine’s butterfly-filled femininity and Tod’s leather-forward approach, Milan Fashion Week SS26 offered a diverse mix of craftsmanship, drama, and quiet luxury. Here’s my take on the standout moments, favourite looks, and textures that defined each collection.

Daniel Lee’s 57-look Spring/Summer 2026 collection for Burberry just dropped in London, and it’s a colourful, textural, trench-coated dream. With crochet, plaid, hot pinks, and sky-themed staging, Burberry reminded us that British fashion can be classic and playful - especially when scarves are involved.

Stuart Vevers brings a youthful, nostalgic energy to Coach’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection, blending playful motifs with tailored silhouettes and streetwear ease. The result is a thoughtful remix of heritage and imagination, made for a generation redefining personal style.

Forget the usual Autumn suspects—this season, I’m predicting a palette of bold reds, regal purples, minty surprises and patterns with personality. It’s playful, a little rebellious, and just refined enough to turn heads for the right reasons.
