Première Vision, the ultimate hub for design and fashion innovation, has unveiled its design forecast for SS26. It’s guiding the global fashion industry toward themes that merge creativity with responsibility. The focus is on three transformative pillars—Re-store, Re-set, and Re-fresh symbolizing sustainability, circularity, and inventive approaches to design.
At Ricamour Embroideries, drawing from our deep-rooted expertise, we break down the SS26 forecast and explore how these themes can shape your upcoming collections.
1. Re-fresh: Revitalizing through everything cool, calm and soothing.
This theme is all about blending soothing materials and colours. Explore innovative embroidery techniques to create a refreshing design language. Use artificial intelligence as an enabler to unleash human creativity.
Gentle fading– Create gradient effects with blotting, stamped or dip- dyed colours. Explore textures and translucent layers using lightweight fabrics like organza and tulles. It’s all about fabric manipulation and appliquéing.
Monochrome Bas-reliefs– Seek inspiration from raw porcelain and its characteristic matte finish. Create monochrome, three-dimensional embroideries that resemble delicate bas-reliefs.
Botanical Reverie– A focus on graphic treatments of design, evoking the gradual fading of a sketch. Like a ‘work in progress,’ lines are faded, blurred and erased, thus, adding a poetic dimension.
2. Re-set: Keep it bold, playful, and inventive.
Re-set embraces creativity with a focus on blending pleasure and functionality. It is characterized by generous volumes and sensory textures.
Luscious Sheen– Use translucent materials and glossy finishes. Evoke a vibrant, “Pop” aesthetic with elements resembling Murano glass or bark sugar.
Innovative Materials: Using everyday materials in innovative ways highlight the season’s playful yet luxurious vibe.
Floral Plumage- A special focus on floral elements. Delicate floral structures, butterfly wings, vibrant plumage of birds. Feathers, one of the season’s key materials, can also be reinvented to take on the appearance of extraordinary, large-format floral varieties.
3. Re-store: Honouring craft and circularity.
This theme is all about re-connecting with traditional craftsmanship. It’s a reminder to leave a positive impact and that circularity, sustainability, and transparency are fundamental requirements for a responsible future.
3D Graphics– Modular, soft, and flexible monobloc structures with a 3D-printed feel. Weaves and structures with amplified volumes to create graphic, expressive surfaces.
Precious Pairings– Gold and silver coexist on the same product, either merging or juxtaposing. A special focus on slightly frosted or distressed finishes.
Intertwined crafts– Revive endangered traditional crafts or ancient techniques- passementerie, weaving, braiding, caning and macramé, incorporating unusual elements such as feathers.
Summer fleeces– Furs, feathers and hairy fibers invade the season’s textile accessories. A tactile softness contrasts with dry and rough textures.
Totemic compositions: Adopt bold, maximalist accumulations- a mix-and-match approach to kitsch. Create colour contrasts featuring black, gold, or silver paired with bright, vivid hues. Special focus on designs that evoke paving, multi-coloured mosaics or stained glass.
