TENDER HELL
Life is a constant transition, a journey of learning and refining ourselves through the knowledge we gather. It leads us into the unknown, while at the same time guiding the choices we make. As we approach the end of the year, a perfect moment for reflection, here is a fairytale-like story to offer a little inspiration. Featuring: Wilma Vidal Lidén.
Material Semiotics
Soft tailoring meets artistic deconstruction, with elongated silhouettes, layered shirting, and fine footwear hinting at the season’s shift toward “intellectual ease.” Crumpled, paper-like outerwear reflects SS26’s focus on eco-expressive textured garments that appear fragile yet sculptural. Together, these pieces embody the mood of the season: experimental, material-driven, and fluid in its approach to masculinity.
Layered Logic
These looks highlight a trend built on deconstruction, layering, and unexpected pairings. The result is a practical, street-influenced aesthetic that favors texture, asymmetry, and visible construction fashion that feels experimental but grounded in everyday wear.
Neo-Romantic Kinetics
Movement becomes the narrative thread. Fabrics ripple, bodies fold into sculptural poses, and every frame feels mid-breath, mid-thought, mid-transition. In this story, emotion is worn visibly: the dynamism of the body becomes part of the design, and the garments respond as though alive.
Gothic Modernism
In a moment when trend cycles collapse into one another, fashion uses historical codes not as nostalgia but as raw material. The result is a conversation between eras, where craftsmanship, culture, and modern identity intersect. Here, the future is shaped by revisiting and reworking the past.
