This season, Trend Union’s Autumn/Winter 2026–27 forecast invites us to reconnect with our deepest instincts, to listen to the inner voices that shape creativity, care, and collective resilience. In a time of increasing disconnection, we return to intuitive knowledge, to primal behaviors that shape design with purpose, emotion, and meaning.
Through color palettes rooted in raw, and tactile fabrics that reflect a longing for protection, ritual, and reconnection, this forecast redefines how we dress, live, and express ourselves. Animal behaviors serve as metaphors for human instincts—alert, nurturing, playful, and communal, guiding a fashion season shaped by the urgency of aesthetic activism and the desire to build a more sensitive, inclusive world.
The presentation includes exclusive insight into the season’s key colors, fabrics, and fashion directions, complemented by original inspirational imagery, material and color swatches, and evocative texts. Each physical trend book comes with a complimentary digital PDF for easy reference and team-wide use.
Join Ragna Froda, artist, curator, and Director of Edelkoort Inc. and New York Textile Month, for an immersive session exploring the emotional intelligence of design and the instinctual power of textiles to lead us forward.
