At Budapest Central European Fashion Week, Nanushka’s Pre-Spring 2026 collection, Reflections, reminded us why Sandra Sándor is a defining voice in contemporary fashion. Instead of chasing spectacle, Nanushka offered something more resonant: sophistication through restraint. The collection spoke in a quiet tone, with styling that felt lived-in yet deliberate. It was particularly striking.

Knits draped over silky slip dresses, tailoring softened with fluid layers, and belts that subtly defined the silhouette. Nanushka’s approach shows that modern sophistication relies not on excess, but on ease and comfort
A playful note emerged in footwear styling: olive green socks paired with heels. This perfectly captures a trend gaining momentum this season. More and more designers and consumers are experimenting with colourful tights and socks with heels, adding unexpected colour, texture and contrast. This styling complements Nanushka’s soft, layered silhouettes while nodding to 90s and 2000s aesthetics, reminding us that refinement and fun can coexist.
Trend Takeaways from Nanushka SS26
- Fluid layering → dresses and tailoring softened by draped knits and airy volumes
- Watercolour finishes & gradients → diffused hues that evoke light and shadow
- Playful footwear styling → colourful socks or tights paired with heels
- Comfort → clothes designed to be both elegant and wearable
Nanushka’s Reflections lives up to its name. A quiet pause, a reminder that sophistication today is as much about what you leave unsaid as what you show.
