Spring 2026 Preview — What's Coming Next

I'm going to let you in on something I probably shouldn't share yet. The next Alexis Couture drop isn't supposed to be announced for another two weeks. But I just finished approving the final samples yesterday, and I'm so excited about this collection that I can't sit on it. So here's your sneak peek. Consider yourself an insider now.

The Inspiration Behind Spring 2026

Every collection starts with a feeling. Not a trend report, not a Pinterest board, not whatever color Pantone decided is the color of the year. A feeling. For Spring 2026, the feeling was "easy elegance." That moment when you look effortless but secretly everything is perfectly considered.

The color palette came from a drive down PCH on a Tuesday morning in January. I pulled over near Crystal Cove because the light was doing something I'd never seen before. The ocean was this muted silver-blue. The cliffs were warm sandstone. The sky had this dusty rose tint right at the horizon. I took about forty photos and sent them to Rosa with a text that said, "This. All of this." She understood immediately.

The New Silhouettes

We're introducing three new silhouettes this season, which is a big deal for us. Usually we stick to two new shapes per collection because developing a silhouette properly takes time. But I've had these ideas brewing for almost a year.

The Laguna Shirt Dress. This is the piece I'm most nervous about because it's a departure from our usual aesthetic. It's structured. Almost architectural. A crisp cotton-linen blend with an asymmetric button placket and a detachable belt. You can wear it buttoned up and belted for a business meeting, or unbuttoned over a swimsuit at the beach. I've tested both scenarios personally.

The Dana Point Wide Leg. High-waisted trousers in a flowing crepe fabric. They look like they belong on a yacht in Monaco but they feel like pajamas. The waistband is partially elasticized — hidden elastic in the back, structured waistband in the front. Rosa called this "fashion trickery" and she's not wrong.

The Coastal Cami Set. A silk-blend camisole with matching pull-on shorts. Meant for warm evenings, backyard dinners, that golden hour when you want to look put together but the temperature won't let you wear anything with structure. We tested six different inseam lengths before landing on five inches.

Colors and Fabrics

The palette is soft but not pastel. There's a difference. Pastels can look washed out, especially on camera. These are warm, saturated tones with depth. Specifically: driftwood (a warm beige with pink undertones), pacific (a medium blue-grey that flatters every skin tone we tested), sunset clay (a muted terracotta), and our signature shade, ocean pearl (an ivory with the faintest blue cast).

Fabrics this season lean heavier toward natural fibers. Cotton-linen blends for structure, silk-modal for drape, and a new Japanese crepe that Rosa sourced from a mill in Kyoto. The crepe is expensive. But the way it moves — there's nothing else like it. It catches air. It flows. It makes everything look like it's in slow motion.

Sizing Updates

Based on feedback from the last three collections, we've extended our size range to include XXS for petite frames and 3XL. Every single piece in Spring 2026 is available in seven sizes. No exceptions. If I design it, it fits everyone. That's a hill I will die on.

We also adjusted the rise on all bottom pieces by about half an inch based on survey data from 200 customers. Half an inch doesn't sound like much, but it's the difference between "this fits" and "this fits perfectly."

Pricing and Availability

The collection ranges from $85 for the Coastal Cami top to $395 for the Laguna Shirt Dress in Japanese crepe. Most pieces fall between $145 and $250. I know that's not budget pricing. But the fabrics and manufacturing quality don't allow for fast-fashion price points. What I can promise is that every piece will last years, not seasons.

The collection drops on April 28. Follow me on Instagram for first access 24 hours before public release. Last collection sold out of three pieces within the first week.
