Retro Palette Surge

AW26 nostalgia is carrying decisively into SS27, with London, Milan, and New York reinforcing saturated color, jewel-toned blue and purple, Gothic romance, sequins, rhinestones, rosettes, sheer layering, lingerie dressing, dramatic skirts, dimensional florals, vivid clashes, craft, camp, and imperfect styling. London’s pearls, lace, eccentric domesticity, and emerging-designer craft, alongside NYFW’s expressive denim and vivid beauty, broaden the cycle beyond clothing.
