\n\tOne of springtime\u2019s most ubiquitous references got a streamlined redux, courtesy of Josie Natori.<\/p>\n
\n\tAfter past collections referencing Japonisme<\/a> and Japanese layering traditions, Natori looked to flowers, and nature writ large, as inspiration for spring 2026.<\/p>\n \n\tBut don\u2019t expect anything louder than Natori\u2019s consistently streamlined DNA. Just as the designer has opted to make each of her collections more seasonless \u2014\u00a0\u201cThe amount of true seasonal runs are so short,\u201d she said, noting her clients are everywhere from the tropics and the Sun Belt to chillier climes \u2014\u00a0she\u2019s staying true-to-form with obi belts rendered in vegan leather, suiting with nods to a samurai shoulder and handkerchief-hemlined skirts.<\/p>\n \n\tThe color palette, Natori said, was derived from all types of flora and fauna, ranging from chartreuse, tomato reds and shocking pinks to her hallmark neutrals. She rounded out the collection with jewelry<\/a>, including coral and freshwater pearls, which are convertible from belts to necklaces.<\/p>\n \n\tWith white shirting, Natori also reiterated on the classic, this time with tiered hems and cocoon backs.<\/p>\n \n\tButterflies, hand-embroidered on a dress or featured in a print, ran through the collection, but not to the extent of the peony print. Peonies, along with orchids, are Natori\u2019s favorite flowers, after all.<\/p>\n
