From palettes inspired by the natural world to irreverent references to historical silhouettes and proportions, 2026’s spring fashion trends capture our desire to return to moments that ground us in comforting nostalgia or nature’s magnificence. Or both! Danny Mankin’s authorial take on current fashion is about breaking free from limitations, trying something new, and embracing craft and the craftspeople who make it happen. It’s the return of deco pastels, puff sleeves, brocades, jacquards, and tapestries – at home with an incredible cast of talented actors, crew, and friends.
