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.

Nicholas Aburn’s debut collection for Area at NYFW was a bold, glitter-drenched display of technical brilliance and playful experimentation. From sculptural denim to pom-pom-inspired finales, this show proved Area’s new era is in very safe, and stylish, hands.
