The Sun Rises Over Courrèges SS26
From icy beginnings to burning finales, the collection climbed from 22 to 30 degrees on the runway.
Nicolas Di Felice’s Courrèges proves, once again, that he is a master of his craft, delivering Spring/Summer 2026 with a brilliance that builds season after season. On the second afternoon of Paris Fashion Week, Courrèges transcended the ordinary, ascending into the solar beyond with a collection that shimmered and built intensity like the phases of the sun.
The house’s signature square-shaped venue was transformed into a circle by Rémy Brière and Matière Noire, setting the stage for a cyclical narrative of heat and light. Parisian composer Erwan Sene heightened the atmosphere with a hypnotic score that dictated rising temperatures on the runway. From icy beginnings to burning finales, the collection climbed from 22 to 30 degrees, mirrored through Courrèges’ sculpted silhouettes, which were soft yet structured, and undeniably bold.
At 22 degrees, a frost lingered: teal and navy shades washed over sheer tops, skirts, and veiled caps. By 24 degrees, swimsuits fused with checkered bottoms, leather outerwear, and hybrid footwear, marking the transition to temperate exteriors. At 26 degrees, the lights blazed like a midday sun, illuminating cutout bomber jackets, inseparable co-ords, and fluid eveningwear. Finally, 30 degrees solidified metallic accessories. Slashed garments in plant-based vinyl echoed today’s fragile climate, while bleached dresses shield faces from blinding rays, closing the collection with both urgency and radiance.
