For Fall/Winter 2026–27, Carolina Castiglioni advances Plan C’s distinct design vocabulary with a collection that reconsiders the notion of “inflation” not as excess but as intention. Volume becomes a tool of expression, measured, architectural, and purposeful, used to explore surface, proportion, and tactility while remaining anchored in the brand’s signature balance of pragmatism and femininity.

Yigal Azrouël’s Pre-Fall 2026 lookbook reasserts the designer’s commitment to a focused, introspective design language shaped by contrast. Rather than turning outward for inspiration, Azrouël continues to refine the dialogue that has long defined his work, masculinity and femininity, and structure and fluidity, approaching these dualities with renewed clarity. While such consistency can risk repetition, this season finds fresh momentum, revealing a collection that feels assured, deliberate, and closely aligned with the designer’s strongest instincts.
