Staud Resort 2026 Ready-to-Wear Runway, Fashion Show & Collection Review

“This collection we’re calling the unity of opposites,” Sarah Staudinger said of her latest collection. She said the title reflected the resort season’s ethos of living “between the extremes” of the delivery, resulting in a chic collection with playful elements designed for sun-drenched beaches as well as snow-covered peaks. 

“Internally, we’ve been calling it Fair Isle and flip-flops,” she said of the combination, as seen paired with a mother-of-pearl shell-adorned bikini styled with a cool puffy insulated taffeta pencil skirt. Furthermore, she introduced technical apres ski jackets, styling them over minimalist-bent ’90s occasionwear.

The era’s influence nicely extended from day to night, such as crinkled tunics over trousers; slip and casual tank dressing (decorated with lace inserts of playful seasonal icons), and draped day-to-night looks, which upheld further contrasts of the soft with geometric. While Carolyn Bessette Kennedy wasn’t directly on Staudinger’s mood board this season, modern nods to her effortless, timeless style could be seen throughout. 

Throughout resort, Staudinger continued to balance her brand’s signature spirited ethos with the grounded and more crafty from head to toe, complete with cheeky beaded “Do Not Disturb” slogan Alba flats and a couch-shaped novelty handbag.

“This collection is really for the girl who doesn’t want to choose between the opposites, but wants to unite them. We really wanted to give her the freedom to explore this, ‘Do Not Disturb’ energy, whatever that may look like for her, whether it’s actually an adventure or a couch,” she said.
