Embrace Lunar New Year in Style

Lunar New Year is a celebration of renewal, intention, and forward momentum, and in the Year of the Horse, those themes feel especially fitting. Symbolizing strength, confidence, and freedom, the Horse represents progress guided by ambition and grace. This season, fashion captures that energy through Lunar New Year collections and campaigns designed to move boldly into the year ahead.

Setting Dreams in Motion

For Lunar New Year 2026, Maison Valentino embraces the Year of the Horse with a poetic campaign centered on movement, imagination, and new beginnings. Conceived by Creative Director Alessandro Michele and brought to life through the lens of Julie Greve and director Marcus Tang, the story unfolds as a quiet dream rooted in intimacy, connection, and possibility. Starring Chinese actress and Valentino Brand Ambassador Lareina Song alongside model Yi Fan, the campaign showcases looks from the Valentino Cruise 2026 collection, where romantic silhouettes and refined accessories mirror the hopeful spirit of the season.

Set within an evocative, close-knit atmosphere, the narrative draws on the symbolism of a zoetrope—a device that creates motion through repetition. As a horse runs endlessly through its frame, it becomes a metaphor for transformation, desire, and infinite potential. Gentle gestures give way to a dreamlike dance, capturing the joy and optimism that define Lunar New Year and the promise of what lies ahead.

Free-Spirited Style

Inspired by the Year of the Horse, Maje introduces a Lunar New Year capsule defined by freedom, independence, and quiet momentum. The influence of the sign is felt through fluid lines, a sense of movement, and an effortless elegance that feels both modern and assured.

Texture takes center stage, with ribbed wool cardigans, knit polos, wool-and-silk blends, short tweed dresses, and softly shimmering playsuits creating depth across the wardrobe. Subtle embellishments, including delicate rhinestones, pearls, and jewel buttons, add measured touches of light, enhancing each silhouette without excess.

Fresh, confident, and contemporary, the capsule reflects the creative spirit of the Maje girl, designed to open the year with ease, intention, and style.

Grace in Motion

For Lunar New Year 2026, Tory Burch presents a limited-edition collection inspired by the Year of the Horse, a symbol of grace, confidence, and strength. Rooted in the spirit of joy and renewal that defines the season, the collection reflects a sense of optimism and forward movement, brought to life through a campaign featuring Hejia Li.

Spanning ready-to-wear, shoes, jewelry, and accessories, the offering balances elegance with playful expression. A standout piece is the collectible mini horse bag, rendered in signature grey T Monogram jacquard and finished with a suede fringed mane and leather saddle accented by pierced hardware. Jewelry and accessories echo the theme with sculptural, charm-driven details that feel both whimsical and refined.

Thoughtfully designed to mark the beginning of the year, the collection captures the celebratory energy of the Lunar New Year through bold color, intricate embellishment, and graphic textures. It is a modern expression of tradition, offering pieces meant to be worn, collected, and carried forward with confidence.

Strength Through Simplicity

For Lunar New Year 2026, Massimo Dutti channels the energy of the Fire Horse with a collection defined by confidence, clarity, and forward motion. The Fire Horse year signals not just movement, but a renewed intensity where ambition meets intention and every silhouette feels poised for progression.

Across the range, elongated forms and materials with presence create a wardrobe that feels both grounded and expressive. Wool, leather, and layered surfaces shape pieces that balance structure with fluid flow, while the emergence of red throughout the collection acts as a quiet symbol of vitality and focus. Here, energy does not rush; it advances thoughtfully, becoming warmth, determination, and self-assured style.

Designed to move forward with purpose, Massimo Dutti’s collection reflects the inherent optimism of the new year and the spirit of the Horse in every considered detail.

As the Year of the Horse begins, these Lunar New Year collections offer more than fashion. They are expressions of movement, freedom, and renewal. From Valentino’s poetic gestures and luminous installations to Tory Burch’s playful sophistication, each house interprets the season in its own distinctive voice. Together they capture the optimism, confidence, and creativity that define this moment, inviting us to step into the new year with intention, style, and a sense of possibility.
