Markarian’s Pre-Fall 2026 collection is a print lover’s season. It moves between gingham sequins, pastel plaid, teal tapestry, and a dusk-marigold ikat, with a run of romantic florals in between. The shapes are pure Markarian: corseted bodices, drop waists, full midi skirts, and a few sweeping gowns built for black tie. Here is the edit, theme by theme.

Gingham sequins

The standout story. Gingham rendered in sequins reads playful up close and graphic from across a room, cut into drop-waist dresses, a column skirt, and a halter gown. See the Nerine gingham sequin gown, the Aloe drop-waist dress, and the floral-sequin Nara midi. This is the collection at its most Markarian, structured satin meeting a light-catching skirt.

Pastel plaid

Softer and very wearable: a pastel plaid woven through a halter top, a midi skirt, a button-up mini, and an off-the-shoulder midi. The Kit halter top is an easy place to start, ready to dress down for a daytime event with a flat sandal.

Teal tapestry and dusk-marigold ikat

For colour, the teal tapestry separates and the dusk-marigold ikat dresses bring depth and a tapestry-like texture. The Margaretta ikat gown in particular feels made for an evening garden party.

Romantic florals

The florals carry the season’s romance: a red-bloom chiffon midi on navy, a navy bouquet gown, and a sunflower-printed georgette mini. Light, fluid, and easy to wear once the weather warms.

Gowns for black tie

If you need an event gown, Pre-Fall delivers, from the gingham-sequin column to the marigold ikat. Style notes are in our guide on how to style a Markarian dress.
