Tapestry and Needlepoint Prints Shape AW26 Collections

Centuries-old tapestry and brocade techniques inspired heavy jacquard fabrics and intricate embroideries across autumn and winter collections, THE GLOSS reported.

The Tech TL;DR:

• Antique and vintage references drive the new textile focus, featuring heavy jacquards and tapestry prints.

• Dries Van Noten and Ralph Lauren utilized floral jacquards and upholstery-style fabrics in ready-to-wear lines.

Retail prices range from €29.95 for a ZARA scarf to €4,900 for Dior trousers.

Creative director Julian Klausner liberally used tapestry-like floral jacquard across skirts, trousers, bustiers, bags, and over-the-knee boots at Dries Van Noten. Ralph Lauren incorporated fabrics typically reserved for sofas and curtains into ready-to-wear garments, creating painterly patterns and textures.

Opulent maximalism appears contrasted against crisp poplin shirts or denim jeans to keep looks fresh and modern. Items span high-street and luxury markets, including a €29.95 tapestry-print cotton and wool mix jacquard scarf from ZARA and a €139 Gobelin cotton blouse found at Rococo in Sandycove, Co Dublin.

Home decor items also reflect the trend, featuring a €39.99 floral linen and cotton bolster cushion from ZARA HOME alongside an €865 multicolour floral linen rectangular tablecloth available on abask.com. Luxury houses contributed high-end pieces like the €4,900 multicolour Dior Byzance Ornemental metallic jacquard trousers and floral jacquard belts from Dries Van Noten at €325.

Beauty and accessory pairings complete the seasonal aesthetic. Additional items include a pastoral print satin skirt from ALICE + OLIVIA priced at €355 on zalando.ie and leaf green Cascade jacquard fabric priced at €438 a metre from cole-and-son.com.
