Lemaire SS26 Explores Intuitive Style and the Art of Dressing
Summary Lemaire, the Parisian house renowned for its understated elegance and practical luxury, today unveiled itsSpring/Summer 2026men's and women's collection. This season, designersChristophe LemaireandSarah-Linh Tranaffirm that their creative frequency lies in a profound love of fashion and style itself, a sentiment amplified through meticulously chosen fabrics, textures, proportions and colors that elevate the very act of dressing. The collection presents a wardrobe that is both alert and confidently worn, a quality echoed by a specially commissioned performance from Valentina Magaletti and Zongamin. Their rhythmic dialogue of drums and bass marked moments of percussive clarity—a direct parallel to how clothes, too, serve as dynamic forms of communication. Garments are layered with an immediate, almost spontaneous sensibility: a sharp, tailored suit jacket casually worn over a tank top, or a Western shirt effortlessly tucked into a skirt. Silhouettes remain straightforward, imbued with an active, sporty attitude that enhances movement and acknowledges the reality of urban transit. A palpable sensuality emerges from nonchalant gestures and ingenious construction. Asymmetric skirts are shown alongside a draped stretch jersey dress, fastened with a zipper that gathers at the shoulders as if spontaneously pinned. Pieces crafted in viscose silk twill feature pressed, incidental pleats that beautifully evoke the body's natural creases and curvature, embracing the haptic beauty of garments shaped by wear. Menswear archetypes are revisited with intelligent twists on classics. Reproportioned single-breasted tailored jackets are paired unexpectedly with pajama pants, sandals, and open-collared shirts that tenderly frame the neckline. Small blousons and compact tops find balance with loosely flared pants; straight jeans with combat boots; and leather jackets with boxing shoes. This intentional play of opposites—closely fitted and fluid cuts, formal mixed with informal, strong with soft, structured with unstructured—creates an easy allure. The collection is infused with a multitude of references to fashion history, forming a collage of eras sharpened by feelings and impressions, brought back with contemporary relevance. Oversized '80s-inspired pilot bomber jackets coincide with '70s military trench coats that match the contrasts in look and feel extend to individual garments through the interplay of shiny and matte textures like nappa and nubuck leathers, resinated linens, and check dégradé patterns in viscose and cotton yarns, even silk laminated with gold. The palette itself evokes the light at the end of a summer's day: vibrant orange, burnt and vivid reds, dirty whites, deep gradients of burgundy, purple, and grey, alongside sun-bleached and scorched hues that capture the chroma of sunsets and colors at night, anchored by black with touches of light, suggesting horizons.

3.Paradis Men's Spring 2026: Circles in the Sand
Emeric Tchatchoua is on a mission to slow time, taking a trip to the desert for spring. 'Our main character is trapped in the desert looking for a way out, and is going round in circles looking for purpose,' said the designer backstage. 'In the desert time goes slowly.' Far from arid, his setting proved fertile inspiration for cleverly constructed tailoring that featured delicate rippled pleats evoking the movement of the sand, and tailored jackets adorned with diaphanous, sculptural sleeves embroidered with star-like crystals, evoking a mirage. More from WWD Attending Louis Vuitton With Mason Thames Beyoncé Knowles-Carter Shuts Down Paris Fashion Week With Grand Entrance at Louis Vuitton Études Studio Returns to the Runway as a Design Duo The opening look, a bomber in a patchwork of suedes in sandy hues, featured the brand's bird motifs and the message 'We are all travelers,' reprised through the collection on fun book clutches or woven leather shoppers. A graphic print of vintage watches featured on shirts and denim, and a heavy coat was embroidered with real-life timepieces. The more elaborate styles were contrasted with bright sporty tone-on-tone silhouettes with trompe l'oeil details and a series of airbrushed designs evoking the setting sun. Models including French Montana and Jean-Charles de Castelbajac meandered through the sand-strewn venue. The veteran French designer, who wore wristwatch-printed jeans with a neon pink tie and shoes under his trenchcoat, was playing the role of authority. 'I play a powerful character, a bit like Anthony Hopkins,' he said before the show, practicing his imperious face and admitting to a bout of nerves. He is an admirer of Tchatchoua's work. 'It's highly constructed and functional but very poetic, there's that duality. I love his sensitivity,' he said. The collection featured a number of collaborations this season, with J.M. Weston for the brightly colored footwear, Vilebrequin for swimming shorts and the estate of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, with well-known motifs from the classic work 'Le Petit Prince' featuring on shirts and sweaters.
