AW26 Collections Feature Tapestry and Brocade Trends

Centuries-old tapestry, brocade, and needlepoint techniques inspired heavy jacquard fabrics and intricate embroideries across autumn/winter 2026 collections, featuring an abundance of antique and vintage references.

Julian Klausner, creative director at Dries Van Noten, liberally used tapestry-like floral jacquard across trousers, skirts, bustiers, bags, and over-the-knee jacquard boots, THE GLOSS reported.

Ralph Lauren delivered a pattern masterclass by weaving curtains and sofa fabrics directly into ready-to-wear garments. Opulent maximalism looks modern when paired with jeans or a crisp poplin shirt to keep the overall look fresh, according to THE GLOSS.
