LEMAIRE Autumn/Winter 2026 — Where Fabric Becomes Poetry
For Autumn/Winter 2026, Christophe Lemaire and Sarah-Linh Tran continue to blur the boundaries between fashion, art, and everyday life. Presented as mine eyes in collaboration with French theatre director Nathalie Béasse, the collection moved away from the traditional runway and into a dreamlike theatrical performance, where garments became living characters in a world shaped by movement, texture, and light.
This season explores the emotional language of clothing. Inspired by the surreal illustrations of Roland Topor, delicate pencil sketches are translated into tactile surfaces—dry silk fringes, textured reliefs, crushed velvets with a liquid sheen, and softly distorted prints that seem to emerge from the fabric itself. The result is a wardrobe that feels quietly expressive rather than overtly decorative.
The silhouettes remain unmistakably LEMAIRE: generous tailoring, fluid outerwear, softly structured knitwear, and relaxed proportions that move naturally with the body. Rich earth tones, muted neutrals, deep blacks, and unexpected moments of colour create subtle depth, while impeccable craftsmanship and exceptional materials reaffirm the house's belief that true luxury is found in longevity, comfort, and thoughtful design.
