Chloé’s spring 2026 show felt like watching the house step confidently into a new era while looking lovingly back at its past. Chemena Kamali cited the challenge of exploring the space between couture and ready-to-wear as her waypoint while designing this collection. Leaning into the high energy of the '80s, classic yet joyful floral prints from the 1950s, and new silhouettes that marry them both, that was pure fun. The bohemian ease that has long defined the brand remained, but this time it was seen through a new lens—the lens of couture.
On our post-show shopping list are sharp shoulders, sculptural funnel-neck coats, and, dare I say, skinny pants. It was a collection we’ll be referencing all season long. Below, find the highlights.
The Front Row
Claudia Schiffer, Alexa Chung, Liv Tyler, Georgia May Jagger, Rita Ora, Aimee Lou Wood, and more set the tone for a front row that felt like a chic reunion of fashion icons past and present. They mainly arrived dressed in Chloé F/W 25, and it was as if our shopping list for this season came to life on some of the chicest attendees.
Big '80s Energy
From start to finish, the show pulsed with an unmistakable '80s spirit. It opened with 19 consecutive, vibrant floral looks, each styled with elements like big shoulders, taffeta textures, and high-waisted skinny pants. There was a sense of joy and nostalgic drama to be found in every piece. After four seasons with Kamali at the helm that felt like a nod to the '70s, there was a layer of excitement to see her take on a completely different era.
Fancy Florals
Florals have always been part of the Chloé vocabulary, but this season, they blossomed in unexpected ways. Sourced from the archives, vintage '50s prints were splashed across dramatic dresses and structured tops. The effect was a perfect collision of decades—'50s romance meeting '80s edge—for a look that felt both nostalgic and forward-thinking.
Funnel-Neck Outerwear
Among the standout pieces, the transitional outerwear for spring focused on the funnel-neck structure that we’ve grown to love so much in recent years. This is a shape that strikes the perfect balance between chic and functional—an overarching theme among what designers have in mind for 2026.
