With his Resort 2026 collection, Christopher Esber returns to his distinctive rhythm of quiet seduction—where architectural minimalism meets fluid sensuality. True to his design DNA, this offering is an ode to contrasts: body versus structure, softness versus edge, exposure versus concealment.

At the heart of the collection lies Esber’s masterful manipulation of fabric and form. Precision-cut silhouettes cling, drape, and twist—as if caught mid-motion—revealing slivers of skin through unexpected cut-outs, looped closures, and asymmetrical ties. Each piece feels sculpted directly on the body, yet never contrived. There’s an organic fluidity at play, even in the most structured garments.

The palette is elemental and grounding—stone, salt, obsidian, seafoam, and clay—evoking the Australian landscape that so often informs Esber’s work. Subtle metallic finishes and glossy textiles add an undercurrent of liquid shine, while sheer knits and crepe de Chine create tension between concealment and exposure.

Key looks include a twisted halter dress in deep obsidian with fine chain detailing, a low-slung trouser paired with an open-weave knit top suspended from resin rings, and a sea-glass green slip dress, bias-cut and ruched to perfection, echoing the soft undulation of waves.

This season also sees Esber exploring soft tailoring with a sharper hand: cropped blazers, deconstructed suiting, and trousers with exaggerated slits speak to a woman who moves seamlessly between worlds—barefoot on the coast one moment, commanding a room the next.

As always, the collection is deeply tactile—meant to be felt as much as seen. Threads are pulled, fabrics are gathered, elements are suspended, but the result is effortlessly cohesive. Esber’s pieces whisper rather than shout, yet carry undeniable presence.

With Resort 2026, Christopher Esber once again redefines contemporary femininity: confident, elemental, and unapologetically sensual.
