BAZISZT
For AW26, we put the curtains up, and behind them we found a garden!
Not the kind you come to with a plan, but one you wander through, where flowers grow between old patterns, little horses appear among the vines, birds sit quietly on branches, and stars are scattered across the sky.
There are checks, faded florals, hand-drawn motifs and pieces that feel like they have been discovered rather than designed.
You keep walking.
A warm color catches your eye. Then an embroidery. Then something you cannot quite place but somehow recognize. “The Brocante” grew from this feeling, the pleasure of looking closely, of finding beauty in unexpected places, and of letting one discovery lead you to another.
And somewhere behind the curtain, the garden keeps growing.
COLTESSE

Hors champs acts as the negative of a holiday photo album, capturing exposure, light, and movement within an authentic and spontaneous wardrobe. Passed from hand to hand, the lens catches each unique vision and sensibility. It is through this appropriation of object and image that COLTESSE imprints its everyday life.
Blending light tailoring, structured casual sets, and tactile comfort, Hors Champs materializes the sensations of summer. This series of garments is designed for those post-beach dinners, with sun-drenched skin and sand still lingering at the bottom of your shoes.
The functional silhouettes and versatile hues are infused with subtle construction details inspired by neo-workwear. Engineered for comfort and mobility, these structured SS27 sets are resolutely rooted in the COLTESSE DNA: an instinctive wardrobe tailored for the contingencies of travel.
EGON LAB
For SS27, EGONLAB presents “Ataraxia,” a collection about finding peace and possibility within a chaotic world. The collection explores liminal spaces and the tension between reality and imagination, present and future.
EGONLAB’s signature tailoring is reworked into lighter, more fluid silhouettes, with jackets worn close to the body and tucked into shorts or trousers. Masculine and feminine codes meet through coquette details, lace, satin, Swarovski embellishment and sensual proportions.
Trompe-l’œil, surrealist references and hybrid garments blur the boundaries between different pieces and realities. Denim, tailoring, workwear and crafted textiles create a dialogue between urban functionality and fantasy.
Ultimately, SS27 is EGONLAB’s optimistic response to uncertainty: a wardrobe built around freedom, tenderness, transformation and self-expression.
LUDOVIC DE SAINT SERNIN
Collection dix-huit : Ludovic de Saint Sernin explores a darker, more severe expression of the brand.
Working within a restrained palette of black, white, and red, fringes become both structural and expressive, while the interplay of velvet, leather, lace, and mesh creates graphic, sensual silhouettes where softness and rigor exist in constant tension.
This season also marks a personal return. A reconnection with Ludovic’s voice and his initial creative instincts, embracing a more instinctive, raw approach to design. Intentionally stripped back, the collection rejects spectacle and excess. In a landscape saturated with images and constant content, Ludovic places craft at the center of his process, allowing construction, materiality, and silhouette to speak with clarity and restraint.
Accessories evolve alongside the collection with an expanded offering of bags. The house’s signature Cleavage Bag extends its family: now available not only in its iconic baguette shape, but also as a clutch in black nappa leather and in black, red, and white patent leather, as well as a bucket bag in beige suede and black pony leather.
A new line is introduced with the Harness Bag. A baguette-shaped piece suspended from a harness, evoking subtle allusions to bondage and the codes of BDSM, reinterpreted through the house’s sensual and refined lens. Materiality remains central to the collection. Japanese fabrics are combined with pony hair leather in beige and black, suede, red leather, and black fringes. Hand-cut and assembled metal mesh meets delicate Japanese lace in black and deep red, alongside red and black nappa leather. These remain enduring signature materials of the brand.
MII COLLECTION
Loosely inspired by the Age of Enlightenment, this collection celebrates the emergence of a new creativity in fashion, driven by the influence of Indian textile craftsmanship and the development of the famous Indiennes. The fine cotton fabrics, with their vibrant colors and delicate patterns, imported notably from Bengal, enjoyed immense success in Europe, where the virtuosity of Indian artisans inspired both admiration and envy. During this century, Europeans sought to uncover the secrets of their production techniques. The discovery of these methods marked the beginning of the rise of the French textile industry.
