SS26 Desert Session
The session was conceived as an extension of the collection's creative process. A deliberate decision to place the garments in an environment defined by absence, where light, terrain, and open air become the only references. The location was selected for its spatial clarity and its capacity to isolate each piece from distraction, allowing fabric, proportion, and movement to articulate themselves without mediation. Two turntables were installed on level ground at the edge of the desert, powered by a temporary solar structure. The set ran for four hours, from late afternoon through the transition into darkness, with sound calibrated to interact with the landscape rather than dominate it. The music was not scored or composed for the occasion. It was selected through a process of research and listening, drawing from Balearic house, North African percussion, and ambient field recordings, chosen for their ability to create atmosphere without narrative. Every garment worn during the session was drawn from the Spring Summer 26 collection. No styling intervention, no post-production adjustment. The purpose was to observe how the pieces perform in their intended context, where precision of cut and quality of material are the only elements that sustain presence. The result is an unedited document of the collection in motion, presented without embellishment, where restraint in design meets restraint in presentation.
