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.

What do you get when you combine Dior’s legacy with Jonathan Anderson’s surrealist edge? A 74-look spectacle of bows, feathers, deconstruction, and the world’s most emotionally charged blue dress. In his first major womenswear outing for Dior, Anderson doesn’t just nod to history, he turns it on its head. From a pre-show misdirect to a prism-shaped runway, I unpack every core look and moment including the try-corn hats! Buckle up. This isn’t your usual Dior.

Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci stole the spotlight in character at Dolce & Gabbana’s Milan show, filming scenes for The Devil Wears Prada 2 — right beside Anna Wintour, no less. But the real drama was on the runway. Titled “PJ Obsession,” the SS26 collection delivered 66 looks of unapologetic striped glamour, luxurious loungewear, and seductive Sicilian tailoring. It was theatrical, maximalist, and undeniably Dolce. Who knew pyjamas could look this powerful?
