Art Deco Evening and the Drop Waist

1920s references are steering this season's eveningwear: drop-waist flapper dresses, velvet opera coats, tuxedos and metallic brocade. Waistlines are sitting lower than usual, which gives the season its defining dress shape.

Second Skin, Sheer and Lingerie Layers

Body-conscious jersey, sheer black layers and cut-outs put the body at the center of fall. Show-goers made slip dresses and lace camisoles work for colder weather by layering them under knits, jackets and tights.

Season of the Skirt

The spring 2027 shows made the skirt the key garment of the year ahead, in minis, midis and sheer versions. Retail buyers also expect skirts to lead next summer's sales.

“The season of the skirt” was the headline after a Prada show in which 63 variations on the theme were presented.
