As resort collections arrive in stores in November, this season is sometimes referred to as “holiday.” While most designers are thinking about year-end parties or vacations that extend into 2026, Stine Goya decided to project forward. “You want to reset, refresh, and let go of things that no longer serve you,” she said on a call, “to create this clean slate.” To that end, she asked her staff to share “small goals…that could be a grounding thing for a New Year’s kind of resolution.”
After the resolutions were collated, senior print designer Blanca Alomar Bonnín translated the more recurring ones—including reading, drinking more water, buying flowers more frequently, taking up ceramics, and traveling to Italy—into storytelling prints and motifs. These hyggelig themes also inspired Goya’s first foray into home textiles, which seems like an idea just waiting to happen. Not only have interiors featured in the brand’s prints over time, but the designer has recently hosted shows in her atelier and on the block where she lives.
Goya didn’t neglect the going-out side of things; there are a great number of pretty dresses, the flirtiest in black with a short balloon skirt. The flower of the season is the petunia, which Bonnín rendered in crayon and then blurred; it was used on a tent dress with festive satin ruffles on the straps. The most romantic option is a slightly structured dress in a menswear fabric scattered with dimensional floral pom-poms; its delicately gathered corset camisole can be worn on or off the shoulder. A mocha-hued look with a jersey top and a chiffon skirt printed with white polka dots could be worn to the office with a jacket and loafers, or zhuzhed up with a pair of heels should its wearer resolve to paint the town red.
