This time our Fashion & Trend correspondent, Genevieve, introduced four themes—Plume, Wallpaper Florals, Coquette Core, and Bedcore Aesthetic.
At the same time, she is using brands like Fleur du Mal, Coco de Mer, Skims, Cultnaked, Atelier Amour, Gilda & Pearl, Wolf & Badger, Victoria’s Secret, Lise Charmel, Agua by Agua Bendita, Adore Me, Cou Cou Intimates, Agent Provocateur, For Love & Lemon, Blubella, Dolce & Gabbana, Kiki de Montparnasse, Sporty & Rich, Kiki de Montparnasse, and Olivia von Halle.
Genevieve tries to bring out each theme by giving us her views that forms the stories in a more substantial aspect under each of the theme.
Being a designer on her own, I found that this piece that she put together can be used by the brands and the lingerie store owners a better way of presenting their lingerie collections. After seeing this piece, I am saying to myself that after all our industry has not been that boring. This can help us to open something more interesting opportunities in the market.
In this very dull moment, it is a shot of boosting some excitement and energy for us to look forward to the holiday season and the new year.
AUTUMN/WINTER 2026/2027 TREND REPORT
Plume
The term “plume” in fashion refers to the current trend of using feathers for decorative accents on clothing and accessories. This trend is a modern resurgence of a historical fashion practice from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. For centuries trend setters, such as Marie Antoinette, have popularized the use of large stately plumes, usually ostrich, to adorn clothing and headpieces. With roots in a long fashion tradition this season’s feathered forecast is softer and more sculptural, modern rather than showgirl.
There was luxury bird energy all over the runways this season as designers reimagined this historical fashion trend. Chanel, Balenciaga, Prada, Givenchy, Loewe, Louis Vuitton, Victoria Beckham, DSquared2 and The Row adorned tops, dresses, and voluminous skirts with layered feathers or marabou trim. Stella McCartney created dresses fashioned from a sustainable new plant-based alternative to feathers.
Feathers have typically displayed opulence and excess in fashion, but designers took a more refined and modern approach to this season’s feather-filled runways. Fuzzy plumed textures replaced fur, and feathers on tops and dresses in a soft palette of nudes, pinks, and white took on an ethereal effect.
Lingerie designers added a bit of drama, volume, and movement with marabou, feather, or fringe trim. Geometric embroidery designs were inspired by feathers, often in black for a sculptural effect. Silhouettes include bra tops, babydolls, and sexy string thongs or bikinis adorned with plumes. The feather trend will be everywhere this season.
Wallpaper Florals
Fall floral fashion trends emphasized a return to nature and a resurgence of the nostalgic cottage-core aesthetic. Dainty florals and botanical wallpaper designs on ivory or tea-stained grounds provided inspiration for prints and embroidery on the runways.
Designers at Alexander McQueen, Erdem, Miu Miu, Yuhan Wang, Sandy Liang and Rabanne adorned girly dresses, bubble skirts, boy shorts, and corset-style tops in faded floral prints and embroideries in a muted palette including cornflower blue, dusty rose, and dark khaki on white, ivory and tea-stained grounds.
This English countryside vintage cottage-core aesthetic hints at a growing shift towards sustainability. Designers experimented with eco-friendly fabrics and natural dyes derived from floral pigments. Contemporary botanical fashion pairs neutral tones with soft floral accents, combining a modern aesthetic with natural beauty. Prints and delicate embroideries include brushed and faded florals that offer a soft dreamy look to lush garden botanical designs.
Silhouettes are a modern take on vintage styles including ruffled bra tops, high-waisted briefs and boy shorts, bloomers and corset tops.
Coquette Core
Frilly, hyper-feminine, and girly with bows everywhere, “coquette” style took on a more sophisticated and modern look on the runways this season. The coquette-core aesthetic is a reclamation of femininity and romance combined with a nostalgic view of girlhood and youth. The coquette trend is a style that embraces a charming aesthetic with a vintage flair.
The coquette movement has evolved this season from a TikTok trend to a refined runway aesthetic. Designers embraced this flirty, hyperfeminine style showing ruffles, lace, and oversized bows at Christian Dior, Sandy Liang, Valentino, Simone Rocha, Miu Miu and Yuhan Wang. A sophisticated color palette in muted shades of cool ivory, cornflower blue, burgundy, and black elevated and modernized flirtatious, girly styles.
Lingerie styles are pretty while also being playful and whimsical. Oversized bows, layers of tulle ruffles, and embroidered bow motifs are strategically placed adding a flirty touch to sexy silhouettes, including bodysuits, balconette bras, ruffle bikinis, and string bikinis and thongs.
Bedcore Aesthetic
The day pajama or bedcore aesthetic involves wearing sleepwear, such as silk pajama sets or satin and lace lingerie, as everyday clothing. This trend blurs the line between sleepwear and streetwear, inspired by a love for comfort and pajama-like outfits. The trend also combines ultra-feminine lingerie styles with menswear inspired pajama tops creating a dichotomy between the masculine and feminine.
No designer encapsulated this trend on the runway better than Dolce & Gabbana with oversized striped pajamas, often adorned with crystals, lace tops and corsets shown underneath oversized blazers, cotton bloomers, and luxurious silk satin skirts trimmed in lace. Other designers on the forefront of this trend include Miuccia Prada, Chloe, Raf Simmons, and The Row.
Silhouettes combine loose-fitting, relaxed pajama styles with corsets, triangle bra tops, and lace trimmed shorts or skirts. Balconette bras, delicate lace camisoles, satin nightgowns, and tulle bodysuits are paired with blazers or men’s pajama tops. The color palette is a sophisticated mix of cornflower blue, black, ivory, and touches of silver. Cotton and silk satin fabrics are striped (woven or printed) and mixed with leopard print or lace.
