For Fall 2026, Alice Temperley is inspired by the Hollywood of the 1930s and 1940s: Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich. “It embraces who I’ve always been an idol,” she said in the preview. Temperley has always been known for her glam, thanks to her signature embellished evening gowns, but this season the designer took it a step further with statement outerwear, including a custom faux fur coat and a leopard-print trench coat.
Temperley also focuses on expanding into everyday wear, with embroidered cropped leather jackets harking back to her label’s 1990s bohemian style. Rather than feeling the need to offer wardrobe staples, as many do these days, the designer leans into his own brand’s DNA. “We found that people came to us looking for something special,” she said, noting the gorgeous beading on shirts, delicate floral embroidery on midi dresses and gold-encrusted separates.
While dresses will always be a staple of the brand, this season’s tailoring is even richer, as evidenced by the new three-piece velvet suit, which has proved a hit with customers (Temperley’s own best advertisement was styling the burgundy version with a fedora in her Sloane Square store). Shot at Arizona Muse in the brand’s Somerset studio and by the designer’s stepdaughter India, this season’s lookbook continues to reflect the image of Temperley and her inner circle that is at the heart of its appeal.
