For Resort 2026, PH5 embarks on a transformative journey of material experimentation and conceptual depth, marking a bold evolution in its design narrative. This season, the label expands its repertoire, weaving together mesh and knit into artful monochrome compositions that explore the tension between opacity and transparency. The collection shimmers with quiet innovation, introducing reflective finishes, sequined embellishments, and heat-pressed rhinestones that suggest the elusive brilliance of light on water.

Designer Zoe Champion turns to gyotaku—the ancient Japanese technique of pressing inked fish onto paper—as a poetic starting point. This influence flows gently but purposefully through the collection, surfacing in everything from literal fish jacquard skirts to playful crochet motifs that swim across deeply scooped peplum tops. These tops offer versatility: worn forward for bold allure or reversed for subtle grace. Mesh layers are strategically designed, where opaque fish shapes offer coverage, blending modesty with subversion.

Rippling Lurex-threaded knits evoke the shimmer of water in motion, while engineered tucks create undulating forms that mimic natural tides. A sweater adorned with delicate oceanic trinkets—a spiral shell, a seaweed branch, a lone fish—reimagines the classic “lady suit” when paired with a crisp knit mini, offering charm and irony in equal measure.

PH5’s Resort 2026 collection feels like a thoughtful meditation on texture, form, and fluidity. It captures the beauty of the ephemeral—where surface meets depth, and light dances across fabric—presenting a modern wardrobe rooted in craft, storytelling, and quiet spectacle.
