For Pre-Fall 2026, Carolina Herrera looks to the garden — both real and imagined — as a source of creativity and quiet ritual. Inspired by women such as Bunny Mellon and Miranda Brooks, Creative Director Wes Gordon explores an intuitive approach to dressing, where pieces are layered, mixed, and built into a wardrobe with ease.
Silhouettes balance structure and fluidity, pairing relaxed striped shirting with softly tailored jackets and chambray-textured suiting. Sculptural details — rosettes, petal-like slits, and voluminous sleeves — bring a subtle botanical softness to dresses and evening styles, while lightweight construction allows for effortless movement.
Botanical motifs appear throughout the collection in chiffon and organza prints, engineered lace, and dimensional embroideries, balanced by crisp poplins and directional stripes. A garden-inspired palette moves from vibrant greens and rosewater pinks to deeper blues and grounding neutrals, transitioning naturally from summer into fall.
The collection is completed with refreshed signature accessories, including the Luci, Consuelo, Pia, and Vega handbags, alongside jewelry featuring understated floral and enamel details.
