To navigate a season that prioritizes hardworking, seasonless pieces, designers are relying on considered details that update essentials or enhance the versatility of items. Self-fabric decoration leads the way in a multitude of fabrics and details, also creating opportunities for circular, minimal-waste, easy-to-recycle design.

fringing, statement bows, pleats and fabric ties transform perennials into reworked classics, work leisure and elevated utility hero pieces. Holiday wear is addressed with craft-led openwork details and fabric manipulation, such as shirring for destination dressing, beyond the beach style and versatile day to night appeal.

Dimensional features

Voluminous and softly sculpted trims inform details, with circularity-friendly self-fabric frills, ruffles, bows and corsage-style flowers building a feminine direction. Among nostalgic eveningwear and beach-to-bar holiday looks are noteworthy and unexpected updates on utility styles and smarter work leisure looks.

Textured contours

Add textural interest and day-to-night flexibility to wardrobe staples with subtly contouring trims. Opt for tonal low key luxury with easy-to-wear fringing and tassels suited to work or holidays. Contrasting lace trim, crafted crochet ribbon, piping detail and simple binding finishes add a modern twist to versatile modern occasion pieces.

Cutouts

Build alluring femininity with cutout accents. Laced-up and button-lined splicing moves on city dressing and modern occasion wear with deconstructed modular design elements, while openwork placements channel craft-led holiday looks. Combine with ballet-inspired lace or jeweled embellishment for more upfront youth-led directions.

Fabric manipulation

Use fabric manipulation to create unexpected twists on familiar, top-performing silhouettes. Transform essentials such as the white shirt into statement pieces without compromising on wearability with pleated inserts and twisted hems and knots. Create inclusive design with comfort-focused shirring and smocking details. These work well for beach-to-bar looks.

Statement metal hardware

Metal hardware details take cues from body jewellery, with chains and brooch-like motifs presenting a partly functional but mostly decorative low-key luxury.
