Now that we’ve shared our favorite collections and standout trends from the Spring 2027 fashion weeks, we’re once again giving the floor to the buyers — as in, the people responsible for deciding what ends up in stores (and on New Arrivals pages) next season.
After more than a month spent traveling between New York, London, Milan and Paris, attending countless runway shows and market appointments, an esteemed group of experts took the time to share their thoughts — and picks — with Fashionista. From luxury veteran Jeffrey Kalinsky (who recently revived his namesake boutique in Atlanta) to Brigitte Chartrand from Net-a-Porter, our panel of buyers hail from global luxury retailers and influential indie boutiques alike.
Prada’s bra- and skirt-forward collection was a favorite among several buyers, as were a number of houses with new-ish creative directors: Julian Klausner’s Dries Van Noten, Demna’s Gucci and Celine’s Michael Rider, especially. Alongside the usual legacy brands, emerging and indie darlings were also among their picks — including Khaite, Fforme, Christopher Esber and Gabriela Hearst.
Browse the galleries below to see exactly what the buyers are buying from the Spring 2027 collections, and why.

Keenan Silverman, Chief Creative Officer at MARKET
“The floral print softens the utilitarian construction of the skirt, while the exaggerated proportions of the white shirt bring a subtle nod to menswear. The Attico is so good at taking familiar wardrobe pieces and disrupting them through proportion, fabrication and unexpected details. There’s a toughness and femininity that coexist in a way that feels incredibly modern.”

“Christopher Esber does it again and again. His strength lies in his ability to play with shape, texture and proportion in a way that always feels unexpected. I love the juxtaposition in this look: the strong angles against the femininity of the lace, the toughness of the leather against barely-there straps, all pulled together by that cinched waist. It’s sexy without being overt, and that balance is exactly what he does so well.”

“Flowers for spring, done right. Laura [Kim] and Fernando [Garcia] brought the collection to life with three-dimensional florals that extend beyond the print and become part of the construction itself. I love the delicacy of the sheer fabric against the sculptural flowers and asymmetric draping; it feels romantic and feminine, but still distinctly Monse. They’ve taken something as familiar as a spring floral and completely reimagined it through texture, movement and dimension.”

“A.W.A.K.E. Mode not only designs incredibly well, but they also style incredibly well. The unexpected mix of leopard, saturated yellow and graphic cutouts shouldn’t necessarily work together, but somehow, it does. They have this incredible ability to take something playful and slightly eccentric and make it feel incredibly chic. It’s joyful, directional, and exactly the kind of fashion that makes you want to get dressed.”

Brigitte Chartrand, Chief Buying & Merchandising Officer at Net-a-Porter
“Aqua blue/turquoise is one of my favorite colors, and it was everywhere this season. I’m obsessed with these capris, they’re so sexy and empowering.”

“There’s so much to love here! From the jewellery and oversized horsebit belt to the rugby polo and tartan pleated skirt, they are all pieces that will really resonate with our customers. Demna is always so good at mixing things up and making familiar pieces feel cooler and more interesting.”

“Maybe it would have been an obvious choice to pick a gold look, they were all so fab! However, this one felt emotional but also very iconic and wearable.”

“The vibrant blue patchwork pant represents a shift toward expressive prints, fluid silhouettes and effortless sophistication. The contrast between the structured black top and relaxed, colorful pant makes this look particularly relevant. It demonstrates how statement pieces can be incorporated into a polished, everyday wardrobe.”

“This look celebrates intricate craftsmanship, dimensional textures and relaxed sophistication. The combination of delicate lace, soft green tones, romantic ruffles and a more structured jacket creates a beautiful balance between femininity and practicality. It reflects a movement toward artisanal luxury and a more expressive, layered approach to dressing.”

“This look beautifully captures the balance between masculine tailoring and feminine romanticism. The sharply constructed black coat transforms through its dramatic silhouette, delicate floral embellishments and sheer lace. It reflects the growing importance of craftsmanship and the idea of clothing as wearable art.”

“This intricate multicolored crochet look celebrates handcrafted techniques, texture, and individuality. Its rich combination of colors and intricate construction speaks to a growing appreciation for pieces that feel personal, artistic, and thoughtfully made. It also reflects the influence of bohemian dressing, reimagined through a luxury lens.”

“The striking combination of red and burgundy leather highlights the continued importance of rich color, luxurious materials and confident dressing. The relaxed leather shirt paired with a tailored pencil skirt offers a fresh interpretation of power dressing that feels both strong and feminine.”

“This dramatic black gown showcases the continued evolution of sheer dressing as a sophisticated form of eveningwear. The delicate transparency, intricate embellishments and statement neckline create a striking balance between sensuality and refinement. It is an example of how designers are embracing exposure while maintaining elegance and craftsmanship.”
