Art for Art’s Sake: A Love Letter to Craft, Romance and the Joy of Creation
For Spring 2026, we invite you to revel in the romance of craftsmanship, imagination and the pure joy of beauty for beauty’s sake. This season, we delve into the roots of artistic expression, celebrating intricacy, mood and femininity through a lens of gothic romance and golden-age glamour.
Drawing inspiration from the muses of Victorian art and Old Hollywood, the Spring 26 collection fuses the dreamlike with the dramatic. Gilded embroidery and hand-applied sequins take their cue from Robert Burns’ shimmering nymphs, while the rich textures and sculptural silhouettes of the Rita story channel the screen sirens of the silver screen.
In the Giselle story, fern motifs dance across the body like lace, inspired by Honiton samplers and the decorative botanical craze of Victorian Britain. These details are framed by architectural embroidery and light georgette panelling, an ode to the grand, ornamental structures of the Crystal Palace.
The Odette suit, printed in Lake Como, steps onto the scene as a statement in storytelling: its hand-painted print, inspired by Art Deco chevrons and exotic foliage, pays homage to 1930s cinema and the lush mystique of the fernery.
The Rita dress stuns in a hammered gold cloqué lurex, woven in Italy. Its patina finish evokes the filigree of gilded ironwork, rendered in clean lines that glimmer with every movement.
The Gilded story, rich in hand-beaded sequins and framed with light georgette godets, celebrates a modern mythology, blending delicate cyanotype-inspired florals with shimmering Victoriana.
Alongside the new collection, Temperley London unveils a reimagined edit of its Heritage Collection, a magical offering of the brand’s most iconic designs and archive pieces. These treasured heirlooms have been carefully reworked into new colourways and refined silhouettes that honour their original spirit while embracing a fresh sense of occasion. Highlights include the Celestial in a bold scarlet red, a strappy reinterpretation of the iconic Filigree, and the new addition of the Suzani gown.
Spring 26 is a celebration of artistic process, elevated craftsmanship and enduring style, designed to tell stories.
