Natasha Zinko Resort 2026 Collection
Within the first few minutes of her resort 2026 preview, Natasha Zinko committed a rare faux pas by admitting she doesn't absolutely, full-heartedly, adore fashion's in-between seasons. (An opinion shared, but seldom expressed, by most other designers.) It was an unusual comment—not just because of its refreshing candor—but because this collection was one of Zinko's best to date: far more grounded, and believable, than the dystopian fantasies (if you can believe they still are fantasies in this current political climate) she had previously situated in outer space and on the ever nefarious plastic surgeon's table. It was from that place of relative exasperation—or creative doubt—that she landed on an entirely relatable narrative based around the quotidian lives of a flat-roofed American neighborhood. 'I was thinking about the 'as a last resort' idiom,' the designer said. 'But also what that old adage might represent in more literal terms, with people making a last ditch attempt at having a vacation.' From there, she imagined, and costumed, a cast of stereotypically sunburnt holiday-makers. There was a local used car salesman—modeled by her brand's managing director—in an outsized check suit with sleeves rolled up to reveal a second set of raw-edged cuffs underneath; a football-obsessed hooligan in skewed zipper jeans and a sheer tee printed with his favorite player's name and number; and a mechanic—inspired by Zinko's father—in an inside-out uniform of acid-treated, upcycled cargo pants. Then along came a bodybuilder in a tank top and pleated jersey sweats, followed by a glamorous cougar in a twisted leather bodycon dress and trending platform thong sandals, and her teenage daughter in a bubble-skirt mini dress spliced from striped polo shirt fabric. As to whether this will, in fact, be Zinko's last resort collection? Well, let's hope not. 'If I feel it, I do it,' she said, with a shrug. Just as deadpan were this season's leather shoppers, stapled with replica receipts from the brand's Brewer Street store; everyday cotton towels transformed into spacious flap bags—genius for concealing valuables on the beach—and strapless, just-showered column dresses. Even with the double-legged trousers, sleeveless micro dresses, and upside-down skirts—continuations of the past few seasons' fixation with surgically botched bodies—the collection seemed a little less moodboarded, or self-consciously aestheticized than before. 'It's an easier look,' the designer concluded. 'The message is: you've rolled out of bed and your hair's a mess, but you want to enjoy whatever you've got left of the sunshine. Everything here feels more effortless.' Hmmm. Effortless or low-effort? 'Get back to me on that,' she said.

Jenny Packham Resort 2026 Collection
'We just make sure we're ticking the boxes of what people expect from us and want from us,' Jenny Packham says of her resort 2026 collection. What do they want exactly? The designer pauses before answering. 'A wow factor,' she says. That 'wow factor' often comes in the form of a color. This season, Packham embraced vibrant sunset hues and ombré shading—she said she felt inspired by the rare blooms one might find in the jungle or on display at the Chelsea Flower Show: 'We started off with quite some exotic lilies and orchids as inspiration, which have amazing colors.' (Sometimes that interpretation is quite literal: one dress, for example, is detailed with a Slipper Orchid motif, whereas a structured black evening jacket comes embroidered with dahlias. Another gown features a black tulle cape with cascading, petal-like accents.) The 'wow' also comes in the form of embellishments. Packham loves a sequin, a crystal, a bead, and used them liberally throughout this collection: a sparkly floor length gold dress looks like an Oscar came to life; a gradient evening gown that starts with purple rhinestones at the neckline and ends with a rose pink sequin hem feels like something Ariel from The Little Mermaid would wear if she walked a red carpet with her newfound legs. Examine look 20, and you'll see it is similar to the famous lavender Jenny Packham dress Kate Middleton wore to the ARK 10th Anniversary Gala Dinner in June 2011—but in black. 'It doesn't mean that it's over the top. It just means that it's got that power punch,' Packham said. 'It's about walking in the room and everybody thinking, 'That's a great dress.'' Over the past few months, Sarah Jessica Parker wore custom Jenny Packham while promoting And Just Like That in Paris, Sarah Bareillies attended the Tonys in one of her plunging, silver sequin gowns, and Dita Von Teese recently wore a navy peplum dress during a press appearance for her West End show, Diamonds and Dust. Sometimes, it's better not to keep it plain and simple.

Maggie Marilyn Resort 2026 Collection
Four years ago, Maggie Marilyn's Maggie Hewitt decided to shift the focus of her business to direct-to-consumer. At the time, she felt that she needed to take some time to re-center herself and her brand, which had grown quickly after being shortlisted for the LVMH Prize in 2017, just two years after she had founded it. 'We've spent the past years getting closer to the customers, understanding how to meet their needs, perfecting fits, and understanding what fabrications are going to be really durable and stand the test of time in wardrobes,' she explained in her Sydney showroom. Now, she's re-entering the wholesale world with her resort 2026 collection. 'We didn't have those insights when we had no direct-to-consumer business, so I think we're primed for more success going back into this [world]. Even though there's lots going on with the tariffs and everything else, I feel like we are primed with the right knowledge to make those partnerships a real success.' Her lineup for the season was decidedly more feminine than previous collections, with ruffle embellishments on shirt collars and slip dresses, and, most cleverly, on the hem of a simple polo sweater dress. An unexpected addition was a seashell print, which was inspired by memories of her upbringing in the coastal town of Bay of Islands in New Zealand. 'I grew up collecting seashells, and now when I take Ralph, my little boy, back home, seeing everything through his eyes, collecting shells together, and teaching him what everything is…it's just so special,' she said. Her watercolor seashells, in shades of pink and brown, were a funky take on the classic feminine summer floral, which contrasted nicely with bold striped pieces in a 'Neapolitan ice cream' color palette. Elsewhere, rugby sweaters and windbreakers inspired by pieces she remembered her dad wearing rounded out the offering. 'I think there's a playfulness that I've found since becoming a mom and seeing everything through new eyes, never forgetting the joy of getting dressed.' Hewitt continued: 'I think if you know how the clothing was created, that it comes from this place of integrity—we still have full supply chain transparency, we work with each tier of the supply chain, whether it be our farmers, growers, fabric mills, or the factories. I think that can also add a feeling of joy when you put [our clothes] on.'

Elisabetta Franchi Resort 2026 Collection
'Beauty, femininity, seduction, empowerment, strength, determination, dedication, energy, evolution, future.' Each garment by Elisabetta Franchi was shaped around the meaning of those ten words—which, in the resort 2026 collection, became a manifesto, printed on a T-shirt or embroidered on the pocket of a denim shirt. In the space between each word, the designer continued to write her story with coherence and intent. 'This collection cannot be viewed as a standalone tale, but rather as the latest chapter in an ongoing journey, encapsulating the codes of our DNA. A garment should never define a woman's personality—it is the woman who gives meaning to what she wears,' said Franchi. 'This is a tribute to the conscious, confident woman who stands as the true protagonist of her time.' With a desire to celebrate femininity, the body became the central focus of the narrative: revealed, sculpted, defined, exposed—though not necessarily through body-hugging silhouettes. When drawing from menswear codes, shapes became softer, more fluid, more classic. What made the collection instantly recognizable was the alligator print, featured across trench coats, dresses, shirts, and trousers, and interpreted in suede, gabardine, or satin. New for the season was the color palette, which, for the first time, burst with vivid intensity. Breaking up the linear elegance of cocoa, clay, white, and black were vibrant shades of aloe green, lilac, and sun yellow. From denim inspired by corsetry to intricate spiderweb beading, from body-conscious knitwear to nylon bombers and sharply tailored jackets and trousers, the collection unfolded as a play of attraction between distant aesthetics. The logo appeared as a jewel-like detail on dresses and stiletto heels, but it was the golden bangles—always worn on both wrists—that elevated the image of a woman who isn't concerned about where she's going, but rather with how she gets there.

Rosie Assoulin Resort 2026 Collection
Rosie Assoulin isn't trying to make your everyday wardrobe. 'They're little special moments,' she said of her resort 2026 offering—a mixture of playful prints, lively colors, and couture-inspired structure with sporty flourishes. 'It doesn't feel wasteful to me because there's that great white summer dress that you pull out every season. No matter what, it's getting worn. It could be 12 years old and it still feels fresh every time.' Assoulin is interested in creating clothing for occasions, be it a dinner party or a vacation. 'I want to feel great every day. They're precious few days that you get to take a trip,' she said. 'We want to create the wardrobe for that.' That's not to say the collection isn't versatile. From tops with convertible drapery to a maxi dress with a removable bustle (in both pink plaid and butter yellow colorways), Assoulin reminds us that just because her clothing may not be for everyday use doesn't mean it can't be reworn again and again. 'Not every occasion calls for a removable bustle, so why not have the option?' she said. While she has no shortage of occasionwear, there are also plenty of statement pieces for more casual moments. Much of her offering mixes sport and craft, from pants made of a floral upholstery-inspired fabric to the stem-green shorts with yellow accents. Even the yellow spongy crepe maxi dress with a scalloped drop waist is inspired by a vintage swimsuit. In limiting her output to two collections a year, Assoulin is challenging herself to edit. (Much of her excess creativity is diverted to her pottery habit, her bright yellow vases dot her showroom.) With this collection, she proves that maximalism can be done with restraint.
