A LITTLE LOUCHE

Runway Fall-Winter 26

What does modernist femininity mean to Rabanne?
For Julien Dossena, it is a rejection of something too polished and perfect. It is an aesthetic of the present moment that decontextualizes and recombines references through the decades. It is about feeling an intimate connection with one’s clothes. It is the acknowledgement that fashion is a living art – one filled with real, living characters.

The women – and a few men – who embody this collection’s clique come across as a little louche. It is a description that sounds alluring for its vagueness – slightly shady, somewhat unknowable, but definitely confident and in control.
