Karoline Vitto Fall 2026

Karoline Vitto continues to challenge the idea of what modern sensuality looks like on the runway. For Autumn Winter 2026, the Brazilian-born designer revisited early-2000s tropes, low-rise trousers, spaghetti straps, and midriff-baring silhouettes, but stripped them of nostalgia. Her version was sophisticated, architectural, and anchored in construction. The show revealed that with just two core top designs, worn in multiple ways from halter to high-neck, Vitto can express an entire language of body-aware tailoring. It is less about reinvention and more about refinement, where design intelligence replaces embellishment.

What makes Vitto’s work distinctive is her devotion to pattern cutting. She sees cut as a conversation with the body, and this collection made that dialogue explicit. Zip gussets appeared at the sides of trousers, serving both as aesthetic detail and functional fit adjusters. Tailored waistbands contained hidden elastic structures, a quiet nod to comfort without compromise. Dresses followed fluid, asymmetric lines that moved with the wearer rather than against her. It is an approach rooted in precision rather than elasticity, built for real bodies rather than the imagined ones of sample size fitting rooms.

Her message this season went beyond construction. Vitto used her platform to critique the fashion industry’s retreat from body diversity, noting in her show notes that curve model casting has “frozen over.” Her collaboration with Pull&Bear, launched on the morning of the show, proved inclusivity is not only possible but commercially viable. It spanned twelve styles for women and, for the first time, men. The collection made one thing clear: Vitto’s commitment to representation is not a trend but a practice. Her work continues to redefine what elegance looks like when it is designed for everyone.
