Horizon NoirSS26

Horizon Noir is a collection inspired by the contrast between the rawness of the sea and the effortless rhythm of summer. Fluid silhouettes, relaxed tailoring and bold prints come together to create a wardrobe that feels both feminine and untamed. Deep earthy tones, graphic patterns and lightweight fabrics reflect a sense of movement and freedom, capturing those long summer days where dressing becomes instinctive, spontaneous and easy.

Illustrated line-up of eight looks: a white draped halter jumpsuit, an olive draped halter dress with a crochet headscarf, a black and white geometric-print halter top and tapered trousers, a red and white crescent-print ruffled top and trousers, a green printed shirt with dark red shorts, a red and black printed halter top and shorts, a mustard shirt with heart-print shorts, and a black and white zebra-stripe halter dress with an asymmetric hem — Illustration: [Illustrator]

The inspo

Moodboard: the Aegean sea, rocks and a ferry's red funnel and blue deck, a whitewashed village, figs, agave and bougainvillea, black and white seaweed, zebra and stripe print studies, red floral and geometric prints, and handwritten notes on colours from the sea, the sky, the ships and the islands
