For Resort 2026, Yigal Azrouël turns inward, letting go of literal muses—no jogs along the West Side Highway or surf breaks at Rockaway Beach this time. Instead, he embraces the beautifully unfinished, celebrating imperfection as a state of becoming. “It’s about work in progress,” he muses, a philosophy subtly woven into every thoughtful piece.

Despite this esoteric theme, the craftsmanship remains precise and deliberate. Flowing dresses are grounded by leather-belted halter necks, offering structure to their ease. An ethereal trench, cut from recycled parachute fabric, captures weightlessness with purpose. Outerwear remains a house strength: a black pebbled leather jacket trimmed with clean white piping and twill chore coats edged in distressed leather offer texture and edge.

Denim—a cornerstone of Azrouël’s design DNA—plays a starring role. From silk-cotton blend, stone-washed trousers that balance softness with structure to a standout Japanese indigo denim jacket trimmed in rich brown leather binding, the fabric becomes a quiet statement of craft and versatility.

The collection truly sings when Azrouël leans into an effortless, city-summer vibe. A sheer, lightweight maxi dress—crafted from a single, expertly draped panel—embodies this airy sophistication. The slouchy brown leather boyfriend jacket paired with easy denim paper bag shorts captures his signature masculine-meets-feminine tension perfectly.

It’s these unfussy, magnetic hero pieces that define the Resort 2026 offering: modern, relaxed, and layered with quiet complexity. In embracing imperfection, Azrouël reveals the beauty of process, inviting wearers into the art of becoming rather than being.
