In case you missed it, polka dots clocked major mileage on the SS26 runways. At Dries Van Noten, they took shape in a double-breasted, circle-treated coat; at Altuzarra, a high-contrast splash across a high-necked jersey gown; at Khaite, a spotted statement skirt. Now, the same is happening at home.
Across both disciplines, designers are playing with pattern proportion. Surrealist tableware brand Gohar World favors a more incidental punctuation, scattering blown glass in its Mediterranean-inspired Port City collection with small, whisper-light speckles, while Urban Outfitters keeps it classic, reviving its viral vanity set in a daringly delectable cream-and-chocolate combo. At the intersection of both, fashion-focused lifestyle brand Edie Parker goes graphic – scaling dots across saturated catchalls that do what any good entryway piece should: shake things up.
Always a classic – now, cooler than ever. Ahead, 16 of the freshest takes on the pattern trend we’ve spotted this season.
