Today is Earth Day\u2014there\u2019s no better time to go out and touch grass. Some of fashion\u2019s most treasured pieces, like the hauntingly ephemeral finale dress from McQueen\u2019s spring 2007 show, garnered their beauty from their appreciation of nature, and it proves a constant source of both relief and inspiration well beyond the runways, too.<\/p>\n
But the runway is our subject here. The spring 2026 couture season was filled to the brim with organic matters. From bouncing cyclamen on models\u2019 ears at Dior to a fantastical mushroom forest at Chanel, the week demonstrated, quite literally, extreme craft in its most natural habitat<\/a>. The fall 2026 shows continued this narrative with an abundance of mossy happenings<\/a>. Among them were Miu Miu\u2019s study in boyish utilitarianism, where the moss-covered runway blended with the grungy fur hems of seemingly disintegrating dresses and jackets, and Nicolas Ghesqui\u00e8re\u2019s examination of \u201carchitectural clothing that could express different cultures around the globe\u201d at Louis Vuitton, with its sloping green set crafted by Severance\u2019s<\/em> surrealist production designer Jeremy Hindle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
