Animal Prints

Designers such as Marc Jacobs, Khaite, and Anna Sui have embraced animal prints, bringing a wild and adventurous spirit to their collections. From leopard spots to zebra stripes, these patterns add a bold statement to any ensemble. For nail artists, incorporating animal-inspired motifs can offer clients a trendy and daring look that resonates with this runway trend.

Fun Fur

The use of fur, both real and faux, has been reimagined this season by designers like Dilara-Findikoglu, Simone Rocha, and Toga. Fur accents appeared on collars, cuffs, and even as full coats, adding texture and luxury to outfits. This tactile element can be translated into nail art through the use of textured finishes or plush embellishments, providing a unique and fashionable touch.

Plaid Patterns

Plaid has made a strong comeback, with brands such as Khaite, Burberry, and Talia Byre showcasing various interpretations of this classic pattern. The versatility of plaid allows for both traditional and modern designs, making it a perfect candidate for nail art. Artists can play with intersecting lines and contrasting hues to create manicures that are both classic and contemporary, much like the crisp, clean aesthetics seen on the runways.

High-Gloss Leather Looks

Leather, both real and vegan, dominated the collections of Burberry and Simone Rocha, exuding a sense of edginess and sophistication. This trend inspires nail designs that embrace high-gloss finishes and dark, moody tones. Think sleek black claws with a patent sheen or deep burgundy nails that capture the essence of leather’s rich texture. Such designs resonate with the season’s penchant for drama and elegance.
