For Fall/Winter 2026–2027, Palomo once again dismantles the boundaries between masculinity and ornament, presenting a lookbook that revels in theatricality while sharpening its technical command. Alejandro Gómez Palomo has never shied away from excess, but this season the extravagance feels intentional, less costume and more couture proposition.

Silhouettes oscillate between aristocratic grandeur and subversive sensuality. Tailored jackets are cinched and flared with almost baroque exaggeration, while ruffled blouses cascade with deliberate drama. There is a heightened awareness of proportion at play: waists are sculpted, shoulders defined, and trousers cut to elongate rather than overwhelm. The result is a collection that embraces historical reference without becoming enslaved to it.

Texture remains central to Palomo’s language. Velvet, brocade, lace, and silk are layered with a painterly sensibility, creating depth that feels both decadent and tactile. Embellishment is generous but disciplined, integrated into construction rather than applied as a mere flourish. Even the most ornate looks maintain structural clarity, suggesting a designer increasingly fluent in balancing fantasy with finish.

Yet the heart of Palomo lies in its unapologetic romanticism. The collection does not argue for gender fluidity in theoretical terms; it embodies it. Corsetry, transparency, and embellishment are treated not as provocations but as natural extensions of masculine expression. There is a softness here, but it is not fragile; it is deliberate, assured, and defiantly visible.

Fall/Winter 2026–2027 reinforces Palomo’s position as a house committed to emotion as much as craft. In a fashion climate often dominated by pragmatism, this lookbook insists on beauty as resistance and self-expression as spectacle. Romanticism, in Palomo’s hands, is not nostalgic, but it is radical.
