If you’ve been keeping an eye on street style, you’ve undoubtedly noticed the success of the NAHMIAS x Marty Supreme capsule — the instantly sold-out collaboration between the brand, Timothée Chalamet and stylist Taylor McNeill. This set the stage for Doni Nahmias’s return to Paris with NAHMIAS Fall/Winter 2026 after a three-year hiatus spent presenting via showrooms.
Channeling the chaotic energy of a “Wipeout” – a nod to the surf and skate term of the designer’s youth – Nahmias presented a lineup that felt more visceral and lived-in than previous seasons. This philosophy of deliberate imperfection translated into a wardrobe defined by its textures: raw hems, aged leathers and heavily distressed denim that mimicked the daily grind of a skater.
Beaded denim evoked the visual of water splashing against a board, while oversized swim trunks, emblazoned with Hawaiian surf prints, were reimagined in supple suede. Alongside handmade Peruvian knits and gray camo trousers, the collection offered a grounded, tactile evolution of the brand’s signature California-cool DNA.
The runway also launched a major sportswear statement: an extensive collaboration with PUMA. The partnership debuted with three iterations of the classic PUMA Suede, followed by the Speedcat silhouette. Beyond sneakers, NAHMIAS expanded the brand’s footwear lexicon with loafers and boat shoes, while the jewelry offering featured a high-end mushroom pendant that demanded a second look.
