The Wakening
Runway Spring-Summer 26
From weather patterns beyond control to the societal currents in the 1950s, the decade prior to the creation of Paco Rabanne, Spring-Summer 2026 plays with both a sheen of optimism and a foreshadowing of disruptive change.

At the collection’s core
The couture-like construction of bathing suits – swimming costumes – from this era along with the sleekness of wetsuits. Already highly designed, this beach wear is then reworked: fully fashioned bikini tops appear on their own or visible under dresses with ruffled edges; zip-front neoprene pants, some folding over at the waist, are transposed for a sophisticated look.
Other garments are deconstructed – ripped apart, even – and newly assembled and tied together from fragments, becoming lighter with more of the body exposed. Short skirts are side draped into gathered trails; pencil skirts are lower slung, accentuated with extra-large belts.
Pumps encircle the feet with metallic leaves that bend as though peeling from the ankle; bi-colour flip-flops enclose the feet, leaving a wider footprint; and surf booties are reimagined for every day. Jewellery is luscious: floral lays solidified in silver, gleaming fruits dripping with juice, ice cubes on chains. New bags in gradient patent discs have the slick finish of car paint.
