Earth Day Runway Roundup: 35 Nature-Inspired Looks from Spring 2026 Couture and Fall 2026 Shows
For Earth Day, a survey of fashion's flora-filled runway moments highlights the spring 2026 couture season, which featured organic elements such as cyclamen at Dior and a mushroom forest at Chanel. The fall 2026 shows continued the theme with mossy sets, including Miu Miu's moss-covered runway and Louis Vuitton's sloping green set designed by Severance production designer Jeremy Hindle. LVMH Prize semifinalist Daniel de Valle of THEVXLLEY, a self-taught designer and London florist, presented vases as sculptures strapped to the body with artisanal floral arrangements. Historical references include McQueen's spring 2007 finale dress, Comme des Garçons's fall 1996 school desk scribble, Balenciaga fall 2008's fuchsia takeover, and Martin Margiela's spring 2006 bouquet of white roses taped to a model's chest.
