This season’s style has opulent appeal …
The AW26 shows marked the return of glamour, with designers embracing bold dressing over the restrained minimalism of recent seasons. At Gucci in Milan, jet-black lace and dramatic faux fur coats set the tone under the creative direction of Demna Gvasalia, delivering a confident, risqué mood reminiscent of the styling in Robert Palmer’s 1980s “Addicted to Love” music video. The message was clear: fashion no longer needs to whisper. This season rejects the idea that sophistication must be understated. Instead, designers offered a wardrobe built on impact, where texture and embellishment take centre stage without compromising polish.
