S/S 2027 Fashion Trends: Skirt Renaissance, Lightness, and Floral Motifs Dominate Runways

opinion-review · 2026-10-10

The Spring/Summer 2027 collections wrapped up in Paris, following showcases in New York, London, and Milan, highlighting five trends identified by Wallpaper* editors. This season, characterized as 'fashion's great reset,' focused on intuitive dressing and a sense of lightness. Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons described skirts as a 'canvas for ideas' in their collection. Designers like Nicolas Ghesquière and Nadège Vanhée opted for ultra-light fabrics to combat rising European temperatures. Floral designs were prominent at Prada, Burberry, and others. Key pieces included bra tops at Prada, Miu Miu, and Dior, while a boudoir vibe was noted at Celine. Pieter Mulier's debut at Versace is anticipated, and Anthony Vaccarello's exit from Saint Laurent raises questions about succession.
