Vivetta frames its Pre-Fall 2026 collection, Poetically Goth, as a nocturnal reverie shaped by sensation before scenery. The collection opens with closed eyes and sharpened awareness: wind against skin, quiet sounds after dark, a pause before crossing into a fairy tale with a defiant edge. This vision unfolds inside an imagined forest that exists first as a mental space. Romance meets gothic tension through contrasts of strength and softness, with nature reduced to graphic signs and symbols that carry meaning without literal depiction.
Decoration drives the narrative. Everyday gestures transform into ornament through craft-led execution. Pinecones gathered by hand, woodland flora observed in stillness, and serrated leaves brushed in passing become embroideries, jewel accents, and tactile flocking. Coats, mini dresses, and tailored pieces carry these translations across their surfaces. A legend about fairy water collected among thistle leaves informs a nocturnal universe filled with silent presences and symbolic animals.
A-line volumes define dresses, while hyper-graphic capes and crisp oversized cloaks introduce architectural weight. Generous hoods and layered constructions negotiate protection and allure through proportion and structure. Short dresses gain volume through layers of tulle, while exclusive lace patterns echo leaf forms without direct imitation. Tartan appears as a sign of lineage and belonging.
The white deer returns as a central figure drawn from legend. It signals metamorphosis and a pull toward the sacred as it moves across prints, jewelry, and embroidery. This symbol carries into a new chapter as the brand introduces its first menswear proposals. Pre-Fall 2026 marks the start of a co-ed direction, with a runway debut scheduled during Milan Fashion Week next February. A quiet dialogue develops between women’s and men’s pieces through shared materials and forms. Cross-gender elements support an elongated, defined masculine silhouette shaped by origami-like pleats in trousers, bombers finished with furry collars, and shirts that read as light and deliberate.
Powdery greys, forest greens, lunar blues, aubergine purples, and lilac tones set a restrained mood, while touches of sky blue sharpen contrast. Iconic bows and the brand’s celebrated collars evolve into flat, architectural forms. Designers apply these elements to shirts, coats, dusters, and a sharply tailored women’s tuxedo that projects authority and attitude.
Golden pinecone bags echo the collection’s natural codes. Sculptural jewelry transforms ferrets, deer, ladybugs, and other small animals into earrings, rings, brooches, and buckles. Each object reinforces the collection’s poetic logic through scale and material choice. Pre-Fall 2026 stands as a cohesive vision where narrative, form, and detail operate with discipline.
