Mancandy’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection, ROOT: ANCESTRAL FUTURE, brought a poetic blend of memory and reinvention to Mexico City. Andrés Jiménez opened the show with blindfolded models, symbolizing intuition and the unseen forces that shape creativity. His signature approach to sustainability appeared through reconstructed fabrics and playful, handmade details – echoes of his childhood spent sewing with leftovers.

A standout look of ruffled cargo pants paired with a fitted floral top captured the collection’s spirit of transformation. Pastels, military prints, and fluid silhouettes merged to explore gender beyond binaries, creating a soft yet rebellious energy on the runway.

A tender tribute to Jiménez’s mother, paired with José Luis Perales’s “Le llamaban loca”, added emotional depth, grounding the futuristic concept in personal heritage. Entirely crafted in the brand’s Mexico City studio, the collection reaffirmed Mancandy’s commitment to artistry, cultural storytelling, and fashion that bridges past and future.
