For Fall Winter 2025–2026, Poolde continues its introspective journey through design with a collection that examines the quiet space between disassembly and reconstruction. With their signature blend of architectural structure and poetic irregularity, the Seoul-based label crafts garments that feel both cerebral and serene—like the echo of memory stitched into fabric.

The collection evokes a world suspended between seasons, between function and feeling. Deconstruction becomes not just a technique, but a philosophy. Jackets appear mid-transformation, with seams exposed and shoulders shifted. Skirts fall in unexpected panels, deliberately skewed as though caught in motion. Even classic tailoring is subverted—lapels curl, hems are fractured, and outerwear suggests both armor and vulnerability.

Poolde’s exploration of isolation and healing manifests in its palette: soft fog greys, dusty clays, ink-washed blacks, and faded slate, punctuated by bruised lilac and rusty crimson. These colors seem to have lived a life before arriving here—worn, remembered, and repurposed.

Texture plays a leading role. Felted wool and brushed cotton are layered over crisp poplin and technical nylons. There is a tactile push and pull—rigid versus fluid, matte versus sheen—that gives the garments a quiet tension. Pockets are deep and sometimes misplaced, sleeves lengthened or split, silhouettes cocooned or released. These elements invite not just wear but contemplation.

Knitwear takes on sculptural form, with ribbing that curves like terrain and sleeves that loop in asymmetry. Patchwork emerges not as decoration but as story—pieced together from different fabrics and timelines, much like the self.

Throughout the collection, Poolde poses a question: what does it mean to hold yourself together when everything feels uncertain? Their answer lies in clothing that doesn’t resolve too neatly. There is no forced polish here—only honesty, intimacy, and a kind of quiet rebellion.

With Fall Winter 2025–2026, Poolde invites wearers into a meditative wardrobe—one stitched with resilience, imperfection, and the freedom to rebuild.
