Leave it to PatBo to make Hudson Yards smell like a blooming bouquet. Just as showgoers turned the corner towards the venue, a powerful floral aroma engulfed the sidewalk, preparing guests for the flower-filled wonderland they were about to enter. For its Spring 2026 collection, designer Patricia Bonaldi honored her Brazilian heritage through vibrant floral motifs, voluminous silhouettes and the label’s signature craftsmanship.

Titled “Latin Soul,” Bonaldi’s 38-look lineup spotlighted flowy fringe skirting, a structured peplum-style maxi dress and puffy, bubble-like silhouettes reminiscent of 1980s glamour. Mirroring the real flowers lining the entire runway, florals took many forms, seen on strapless mini dresses, bra tops and billowing gowns.

Signaling the celebration of Bonaldi’s heritage, the opening look featured a simple white tank with “Latina” embroidered in cursive (which the designer also wore to the runway). Plus, oversized gemstone accessories sparkled on the runway via statement drop earrings, eye-catching bangles and low-waisted chain belts.

Put simply, it’s PatBo in its truest form. “It doesn’t matter if the world is very minimalist or what’s happening out there, we are very true and we are always looking to our DNA,” Bonaldi told Fashionista backstage at her runway show on Tuesday. “This is [the] real PatBo on the catwalk.”
