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.

The Little Black Dress, simple, elegant, and eternally chic.

Polka dots, chiffon petals, and off-kilter cuts that told a story that was both deeply personal and universally resonant.
