This feature delivers insight into the trends shaping 2026 by showcasing designers from 2025 whose designs made it to the runway before 2026. These designers showcase new concepts, materials, and styles through their collections that will impact fashion in the years to come.

 

THE SEE-THROUGH ERA 

Four models walk a runway wearing elaborate fantasy costumes: a white angel outfit with large wings, a shiny purple floral ensemble with a wide-brimmed hat, a white feathered angel look, and a dramatic black-and-pink gown.

    MARINA SAFINA

In her recent collection, Marina Safina combines couture with an organic, almost sculptural approach to present fashion as a kind of wearable art. Inspired by floral shapes, movement, and textured fabrics, combined to create pieces that seem both ethereal and grounded. Each design is designed to be unique and stand alone. Safina’s designs reflect her devotion to creating pieces that are expressive and sustainable. Through her collection, you can see the trends of see-through and sheer fabrics. This is a growing trend in 2026, we are seeing lots of brands designing pieces that are sheer and see-through. Rather than seeing these fabrics as revealing, they offer movement and freedom they soften the silhouette and allow layering that is airy. Through Safina’s collection, we can see how her designs show elements of layering with sheer fabrics while allowing comfortable movements.

 

CHOKERS & LACE

Four models walk a fashion runway wearing various purple and lavender lingerie outfits. The audience is seated on both sides of the runway, and a large "Vanessa Robson" sign is visible in the background.

VANESSA ROBESON

The chokers that took over the early 2000s trends are reemerging, embodying newer characteristics. Vanessa Robeson incorporates lace with chokers in her newest collection, emphasizing the contrast between bold and soft details. The delicate pattern of the lace creates an intricate, sheer texture. In contrast, punk and grunge clothing inspires chokers that bring edge to Robeson’s outfits. Specifically, Robeson blends lace with chokers in her collection, introducing romantic characteristics. The two elements complement one another, emphasizing self-expression through mixed aesthetics.

 

SHADES OF BLUE

SUENO

The blue trend in 2026 fashion is part of a growing shift toward emotion-driven design, where color is used more to establish the tone and tell a story than to make strong statements. A wide range of blue has been welcomed by designers on both established runways and up-and-coming platforms like Sueno at FashioNXT, from pastels and brighter hues to darker and deeper blue tones. In order to mimic movement and resemble the sky and water, blue is frequently layered through thin materials like satin and chiffon. From the asymmetrical satin top to the marble with various blue tones, Sueno’s collection demonstrates its experimentation with designs and color combinations.

 

THE FRINGE MOVEMENT

Four models walk a runway wearing creative, fringe-filled outfits in denim, white, black, and pink tones. The background displays large, bold letters spelling "JENNY VARGO".

JERSEY VIRAGO

Jersey Virago’s designs explore a world of layered textures. These fringe details create depth and movement in each look, emphasizing her message of female empowerment and confidence through clothing. Attention is drawn to the distressed edges of the dresses throughout the collection. Fringe appears at the hem of each dress in Virago’s newest collection. These statement details add a swaying motion to each model’s walk. The fringe trend in 2026 highlights how texture adds a modern edge to fashion while creating movement.

 

RUFFLES EMOTIONS

Four models, including children and adults, walk a runway in pastel pink, ruffled dresses with colorful, whimsical details and plush accessories at a fashion show. The background displays a screen with white text.

CHINESE HANFU

Chinese Hanfu’s designs add a whimsical frill to emerging trends. The ruffles along the skirts create a soft, bouncing movement, giving each step an airy flow. This playful motion enhances the expressiveness of the detailing while reinforcing themes of empowerment and confidence. Bright pastel tones highlight the detailing of the ruffles, drawing attention to the texture and movement. In 2026, ruffles will go beyond adding layers and depth to each outfit, creating personality and expressiveness for the wearer. 

 

CLOUD DANCER

HANNAH HANNA

Designs by Hannah Hanna’s newest collection enters a cloudlike world, anticipating Pantone’s color of the year “Cloud Dancer”. Draped across the models is an all-white collection, creating hidden silhouettes. Gracefulness is expressed through the soft lines of the clothing, allowing gentle movement in each piece. The effortlessly airy look of this color illustrates the modern minimalism trending in 2026.
