Priscavera Fall 2026: A Modern Take on '90s Style

The fashion world is currently captivated by the 1990s, a trend partly fueled by cultural touchstones like Ryan Murphy’s Love Story. Designer Prisca Vera Franchetti embraced this sartorial mood for the Priscavera Fall 2026 Ready-to-Wear collection.

Franchetti focused on referencing key silhouettes and patterns from the decade rather than strictly adhering to its signature clean minimalism. She aimed to make these historical elements feel relevant for her contemporary customer base.

From Grunge Moods to Party Ready Attire

The initial concept for the collection carried a distinct grunge influence. Franchetti noted, “The collection started off as very grungy, and you can definitely see that.”

Her mood boards featured images from “obscure shows in ’90s New York—these very dark, small shows.” Recognizing that sexy, going-out clothing is a brand strength, Franchetti translated these '90s references into pieces designed for modern revelry.

“I wanted to infuse a fun element back into fall,” she stated. This translated into a more adventurous color palette, increased layering, and a focus on transparency throughout the line.

Key Looks and Silhouettes

The collection opened with a look embodying the modern club aesthetic: a laced-up, low-cut top paired with bleached trousers. Franchetti also explored sheer layering extensively.

Examples included a completely sheer plaid slip dress styled over foundational pieces like a stud-trimmed black bra top and briefs. Another iteration featured a more subdued, lacy black square-neck dress worn with matching tights.

Expanding Beyond Dresses

While dresses are a staple, it was refreshing to see Franchetti introduce more separates. She designed a metallic-blue track pant featuring buttoned-up sides.

Franchetti explained her vision for this piece: “I liked the idea of sweatpants you can go out in.” Outerwear offerings were also significantly ramped up.

This included a striking minty Mongolian lamb coat accompanied by a matching hand muff. Franchetti concluded, “It was definitely driven by what I want to wear, and my definition of cool.”

The designer's signature small lace-trimmed slip dresses and fuzzy cropped cardigans are perfectly suited for the current downtown crowd, echoing the resurgence of venues like The Odeon, which is also experiencing a '90s revival.
