Skinny trousers! Bold shoulders! Bright florals! An '80s vibe characterizes Chloé for Spring 2026.

      Chloé's spring 2026 show resembled a confident entrance into a new era while also cherishing its past. Chemena Kamali mentioned that her design journey was about navigating the space between couture and ready-to-wear. Drawing inspiration from the vibrant energy of the '80s, along with the classic yet cheerful floral patterns of the 1950s, and blending them into new silhouettes, the collection was undeniably fun. The bohemian ease that has long been characteristic of the brand was present, yet viewed through a fresh lens—the lens of couture. On our post-show shopping list are bold shoulders, sculptural funnel-neck coats, and, if I may suggest, skinny pants. This collection is sure to be a reference point throughout the season. Below are the highlights.

      **The Front Row**

      Claudia Schiffer, Alexa Chung, Liv Tyler, Georgia May Jagger, Rita Ora, Aimee Lou Wood, and others created an ambiance resembling a stylish reunion of fashion icons both past and present. Many of them wore Chloé's F/W 25 collection, making it feel as if our seasonal shopping list was brought to life by some of the most fashionable attendees.

      **Big '80s Energy**

      From beginning to end, the show was vibrantly infused with an unmistakable '80s vibe. It kicked off with 19 consecutive, lively floral outfits, each incorporating elements like bold shoulders, taffeta textures, and high-waisted skinny pants. Every piece radiated joy and nostalgic drama. After four seasons under Kamali's leadership that leaned towards the '70s, it was exciting to witness her take on an entirely different era.

      **Fancy Florals**

      Florals have always held a place in the Chloé design language, but this season, they emerged in surprising new forms. Utilizing elements from the archives, vintage '50s prints adorned dramatic dresses and structured tops. This resulted in a captivating fusion of decades—'50s romance meeting '80s edge—creating a look that was both nostalgic and progressive.

      **Funnel-Neck Outerwear**

      Among the notable pieces, the transitional outerwear for spring emphasized the beloved funnel-neck silhouette that has gained popularity in recent years. This shape perfectly balances style and practicality—a prevailing theme in designers' visions for 2026.
