Messy-chic is the new rule
Crumpled shirts, soft knitwear, imperfect details. All carefully chosen.
No more looks designed to win hearts or digital approval. Autumn/winter 2025–2026 reacts to the uniformity of the algorithm with a new freedom of expression. Prada led the way: silhouettes that question the classic codes of femininity, slipping shoulder straps, hair tousle as if you just had left home. Ann Demeulemeester and her dark romanticism, Sacai, master of sartorial hybridisations, Balenciaga, king of exaggerated proportions, and Miu Miu, playfully disordered, follow his trail: misaligned outfits, surprising volumes, irregular but coherent styling. The result? The return of a disordered elegance, built by instinct and not by strategy. Today that spirit translates into stiff blazers worn over ethereal dresses, heavy boots under light skirts, oversized jumpers hastily tucked in. The oversized jackets by Balenciaga become the clear statement of a lopsided power, deliberately out of proportion. Maison Margiela exalts the art of deconstruction: exposed linings, irregular stitching, garments that seem unfinished but are in fact pure aesthetic intention. Acne Studios brings to the catwalk deconstructed knitwear, oversized frayed jumpers and layering that looks improvised. To restore balance, Bottega Veneta seals the look with sculpted bags and interwoven accessories, material icons anchoring the disorder to a refined elegance.
