An ‘80s Attitude Defines Chloé For Spring 2026

Chloé’s Spring/Summer 2026 show felt like watching the house step confidently into a new era while looking lovingly back at its past. Kamali sighted the challenge of exploring the space between couture and ready-to-wear as her waypoint while designing this collection. Leaning into the high energy of the ‘80s, classic yet joyful floral prints from the 1950s, and new silhouettes that marry them both, we got a collection that was pure fun. The bohemian ease that has long defined the brand remained but this time it was seen through a new lens—the lens of couture.

On our post-show shopping list—sharp shoulders, sculptural funnel-neck coats, and dare I say, skinny pants. It was a collection we’ll be referencing all season long, below find the highlights.

Claudia Schiffer, Alexa Chung, Liv Tyler, Georgia May Jagger, Rita Ora, Aimee Lou Wood, and more set the tone for a front row that felt like a chic reunion of fashion icons past and present. They mainly arrived dressed in Chloé FW25 and it was as if our shopping list for this season came to life on some of the chicest attendees.

From start to finish, the show pulsed with an unmistakable ‘80s spirit. Opening with 19 consecutive, vibrant floral looks styled with things like big shoulders, taffeta textures, and high-waisted skinny pants. There was a sense of joy and nostalgic drama to be found in every piece. After four seasons with Chemena at the helm that felt like a nod to the ‘70s there was a layer of excitement to see her take on a completely different era.

Among the standout pieces, the transitional outerwear for the spring season was focused on the funnel-neck structure that we’ve grown to love so much in recent years. This is a shape that strikes the perfect balance between chic and functional—an overarching theme amongst what designers have in mind for 2026.
