You may have thought 2023 was the year of Tomato Girl Summer, but if Next's most recent collection is anything to go by, the trend might just be making its return for 2026.
Next has partnered with Lia Gold, interior designer and winner of BBC's Interior Design Masters, for a collection that has us dreaming of summer dinner parties and barbecues. Inspired by her Italian heritage, you'll find plenty of tomato motifs aplenty, as well as a healthy dose of colorful, thick striped patterns — one of our favorite trends of late. "I’m super-proud of my collection with NEXT — the creative process has been incredible. My interior style is extremely joyful and heavily botanical inspired, and so I wanted to create mood-boosting pieces that make you smile, and which can be easily layered into any interior style," explains Lia.
