SS 26 Decodings: Decorations

Lacemakers, embroiderers, weavers, and print specialists demonstrate their artisanal expertise. The Spring-Summer 2026 decorations unfold through the season’s three themes—Re-fresh, Re-set, Re-store—alternately infusing freshness and intensity, and adapting inherited traditions to contemporary aspirations.

Fancy jacquards

An artisanal, folk spirit finds expression in geometric motifs on floating or cut-yarn jacquards, with fringed, raffia or baasketwoven effects….

Embroidery

In Embroidery, a spring-like freshness runs through lush floral garden motifs. We find a full range of techniques nuanced by soft, light colors – from pearls and sequins to overprinted embroidery or guipure and over-embroidered appliqués.

Laces

Leavers’ lace finds full expression in a season celebrating the excellence of savoir-faire. In a spirit of precious naturalness, golden threads trace delicate floral patterns on ecru backgrounds.

Prints

In a season where we draw on past practices for designs and inspiration, a print direction explores motifs that seem to transmit a specific heritage.

Trouillet – FR

Motifs like wooden bead necklaces, totemic geometric motifs, or even motifs evoking immense geoglyphs seen from the sky, are depicted on fresh, natural, slubbed materials, in black, white and terra cotta colorways, with occasional dashes of bright color.

And after several seasons where foliage dominated florals, we see a reverse trend – with large floral prints in bright, saturated colors.
