Marni Fall 2026
There was a palpable sense of déjà vu at Marni Fall 2026, but in the best possible way. For her debut collection, Meryll Rogge reached deep into the house’s archives and pulled out the pieces that made people fall in love with Marni in the first place: fuzzy coats, kitten-heel sandals with ankle socks, and glimmering paillettes that caught the light with unapologetic charm. The Belgian designer, known for her offbeat tailoring and playful textures at her namesake label, described the collection as a dialogue between memory and newness. The show opened with a look that said it all - a belted embellished skirt, a slouchy T-shirt, and a soft textured coat that felt nostalgic yet alive.
Rogge’s Marni thrives in the tension between polish and imperfection. Her coed lineup leaned into the brand’s intellectual eccentricity, bringing back the sculptural jewelry, painterly prints, and mismatched layering that defined Consuelo Castiglioni’s era. Boxy cardigans, tartan shirts with broderie anglaise collars, and animal-print outerwear met fuzzy textures, plaid skirts, and low-slung belts that whispered rebellion. The menswear mixed grandpa cardigans with grunge tailoring and cowboy boots, while the womenswear balanced thrift-store attitude with couture-level construction. The result was a kind of beautiful chaos that captured the brand’s original bourgeois-meets-bohemian pulse.
Still, there was freshness in the way Rogge handled proportion and fabric. Stripes clashed with polka dots, bubble hems reappeared in new contexts, and thigh-high boots shared space with studded Western ankle pairs. Every look felt tactile, textured, and lived-in. Marni Fall 2026 may be Rogge’s first outing, but it already reads like a confident manifesto. She has revived the label’s quirky Italian spirit while layering in her own distinctly Northern European wit. This is not a reset for Marni - it is a homecoming.
