Un smile, then an applause. It’s Awar Odhiang, third Afrodiscendant model to close a Chanel fashion show – Without a wedding dress – to greet the fashion month, parading between colored planets in front of a moved Matthieu Blazy, a new debut at the creative direction. The right closed of a show that brings the maison, and not only, on another planet.
It is at that time spontaneoushalfway between joy and relief, that condenses a month in fashion spring-summer 2026 Made of chiaroscuro, as well as trends: a great that goes away, Giorgio Armani, and the wounds of the world stretch like shadows on the catwalks. Still, there is room for more than a glimmer of hope.
Spring Summer 2026 fashion trends, between lights and shadows
Some lights you can’t turn them off. Like those of Firefliesthe parade of Valentino who cites Pier Paolo Pasolini: clothes like fireflies bearers of a fragile and resistant beauty, a poetic and political image together desired by Alessandro Michele to remember that a défilé can still make a vehicle for messages that go beyond dressing. Creativity and consciousness. Are these the foundations of a solid fashion? The great debuts that dot the season seem to prove it. To win is those who start from the foundations built by the predecessors and reinterpret them With new lymph, without destroying them. From the elegance of Louise Trotter from Bottega Veneta to Dario’s vital force, from Versace: In a season in which everyone seems ready to criticize The designers even before the models reach the backstage, the most experienced creatives respond with respect towards the past, getting involved with energy and human warmth.
The former Miu Miu dusts off as the leader The mythical eighties (by Gianni Versace), those in which everything, at least apparently, went great: color-block, shoulders in the wind and a pinch of light-heartedness, as an antidote to the complex times today. Miuccia Prada, meanwhile, in a very recent interview a Harper’s Bazaar Remember that “fashion is for happiness times, not war”. Nevertheless, Its parade remains a certainty of Fashion Month, a glimmer of imperfect beauty and, for this reason, real: the simplest lesson, yet the most difficult to learn.

The details, the colors, the prints: what will be fashionable
Although the real holders of power remain the corporate leaders of the luxury sector, so the thirst is never enough, on an artistic level the desire to excite, to build a living fashion, which speaks of people, seems to have returned. From New York’s brazenness to the irony of London, from the squeeze of Milan to grandeur of Paris, Fashion trends for spring-summer 2026 put the personality to the center. Because in the general ignobia it is always the character that makes the difference, even in the look. To remind us is The symbol of the season: orange. Positive, energetic in all its nuances, from mandarin to copper, becomes the common thread of a fashion system that, despite everything, looks forward, worn by bourgeoise of Celine as from ladder by Lanvin.

Comfort mission, between enveloping materials and consolidated styles
While the skin is tinged with an intense and nostalgic night blue (Alexander McQueen, Jil Sander), The prints become watercolored and rarefied (Zimmermann and Louis Vuitton: Nicolas Guesquière who seems to mention the series of Water lilies Painted by Monet). With the loss of King Giorgio, we assist from multiple catwalk to one sort of “armanization” of the wardrobe: many citations In the form of soft fabrics and fluid and enveloping lines, from Ralph Lauren Collection to Tory Burch.
I would like the blue skin. Especially if signed Bottega Veneta, among the trends for the next season launched by the new creative director Louise Trotter (Spotlight Launchmetrics).
The search for a comfort zoneof a quiet vegetable garden of beauty is total in the Pygiam style outfits of Dolce & Gabbana, to be worn day to night In the next season under set on the sequel de The devil dresses Pradacoming in 2026 and shot, in part, in the front row of Domenico and Stefano. From the collection collection evoked by the aprons from Casalinga by Miu Miu, just get a trench coat instead of the dress (and a stiletto) to go out And immediately change the mood, as shown by the fashion shows, among others, of Tom Ford and Givenchy.

While we continue to fight in everyday life thanks to theSoft utility wardrobe (Acne Studios, Ermanno Scervino), we take Some freedoms in small doses, such as the visible bra who peeks out of the most rigorous of the blazers: Cucù (Calvin Klein Collection). AND drastically lowering life trousers and jeans (Roberto Cavalli, Blumarine).
Shoes and bags, spring-summer fashion trends 2026
The fashion that will come is still in the balance between the desire for evasion and need reality. The dichotomy is reflected in the accessory sector: If on the one hand the mules with heel reappear Cland to the Barbie with a bow (word of Dior by Jonathan Anderson, one of the most acclaimed debuts), You return with the feet to the ground with a handful of full chic satin sneakersfrom Dries Van Noten to Onitsuka Tiger.
Mini Bag. The bags shrink, as on the catwalk of Hermès Pe2026 (Spotlight Launchmetrics).
The aggression of the python is mixed with a riot of playful beads on the bags, more and more mini: one of the strongest accessory trends of the next season, which makes you think about what today is to be considered the necessary.
Jewels and glasses in sight for spring-summer 2026
In the jewelry you return to natural elements, to shine consciously. Green light to the stainless shells That from the bottom of the sea they bring to the lobes, neck and even allover in a top key (Balmain, Burberry). The most sought after, already must-have, the leather necklace with the spiral wet in silver of Ralph Lauren Collection.

After all, let’s see everything black. The glasses that are made maxi, with lenses and dark framesfrom Saint Laurent to Balenciaga. A necessary distance to filter the world from one’s perspective, but also to look better in the face.
