A Study in Form: Marina Moscone Fall/Winter '26

Art takes the lead in Marina Moscone’s Fall/Winter 2026 collection. Staged at the storied Hotel Chelsea, the show unfolds as a study in process—drawing on Pino Pascali’s raw, material alchemy and Joan Mitchell’s emotionally charged color fields.

Fabrics feel worked and reworked, coaxed into shape. Silhouettes carry the tension of something both composed and undone. Everyday uniforms are destabilized and rebuilt. Destruction is not decorative but structural—sliced into tailoring, folded into seams—so that utility and intricacy exist in the same breath.

 

Ruffled ivory wool gauze spills from the hems of sleeveless tops, erupting into architectural volume. Black tiered chiffon frills flicker from the sides of trousers or dissolve into diaphanous slip dresses, creating movement with every step. Lettuce-edged trims ripple at shoulders and hems like sea life in slow current. Elsewhere, rhombus-shaped panels are meticulously pleated and pieced by hand into weightless tops and dresses, their geometry precise yet poetic. The silhouettes feel engineered—an homage to Pascali’s sculptural logic—while subtle mathematical rhythms hum beneath the surface.

 

Mitchell appears in flashes of color. Pale blue streaks across an alpaca sherpa coat like a painter’s final gesture, interrupted by inky black and saturated wine poured over peak-lapel blazers and the new cocoon “jape,” a hybrid of jacket and cape that envelops the body in quiet drama.
