Marina Moscone isn’t fixing what’s not broken.

During a preview for spring 2026, the designer said suiting, bias-cut slipdresses and an emphasis on tailoring throughout was working for her clientele — and she wouldn’t be messing with it. “I stay with the four or five brand codes,” she said. “I don’t depart.”

With that in mind, though, a fresh color palette and a new take on texture anchored the mainstays in the now. “I thought about this collection not in terms of esoteric inspirations, but much more how it fits in the world of Marina Moscone,” she said, pointing to layers of sheer mist green over anemone on a few pieces. “There’s a lightness, softness and airiness when you come in to see this,” she said. In front of a twisted jersey dress, “you’ll see this ultra-gathering, which is a bit new for us.”

The magic was in the styling: a sheer black dress over a sequined skirt, for example, which also got a wine red iteration. “We do some kind of bordeaux every season. This is more like a Rosso Levante,” she said.

Though she’s found her strong suit in tailoring, Moscone’s spring-forward take still felt new: cinching a tuxedo jacket with a belt, for example, similar in shape to the ankle-length belted black coat in the lineup.

Moscone showed the collection in a pop-up space on Wooster Street in New York — a seasonal pop-up — and she’s also priming the brand for a more permanent take to retail.

“This is where we wanted our first store to be. This is a temporary store, but we want our first permanent store to be in New York,” she said. “I’m very married to the quality of this collection, I don’t ever compromise quality. When this sits on a hanger, it needs to look alive. If a woman comes in and tries on a jacket, if it’s two sizes too big or two sizes too small, it should still look great.”
