©SAINT Mxxxxxx has officially announced its Spring/Summer 2026 collection, bringing a heavyweight lineup of special projects to authorized retailers nationwide. Led by designers Yuta Hosokawa and Cali DeWitt, the brand continues its pursuit of authentic vintage aesthetics through partnerships that span music royalty, punk culture, and denim purists.
The SS26 delivery centers around three distinct creative avenues. First, the label pays deep tribute to John Lennon with two special T-shirts. One features the title of his 1970 Plastic Ono Band track “INSTANT KARMA!”, while the other bears the “IMAGINE PEACE” message alongside a photograph of Lennon and Yoko Ono. The brand emphasizes that these are tribute pieces — not a traditional collaboration — finished with their signature aging techniques to simulate decades of natural wear.
Bringing an edge to the lineup, ©SAINT Mxxxxxx taps the archives of the late British artist Jamie Reid. Reid’s iconic collage work, which helped define the visual language of the Sex Pistols and punk culture, is reinterpreted across several graphic T-shirts, including the “VOTE 4 LIGHT” and “DESTROY” designs. Each piece fuses punk rebellion with the brand’s meticulous vintage processing, complete with bold “SAINT” branding across the back.
Rounding out the special releases is a highly anticipated reunion with Harajuku vintage institution BerBerJin. Working closely with director Yutaka Fujiwara, the brand developed an original rigid denim fabric from the ground up to recreate a sought-after WWII-era set-up. The resulting Type I-style T-back jacket and straight-leg pants feature wartime-specific details like herringbone pocket linings, merging pure vintage fidelity with contemporary fits. In addition to these marquee projects, the drop also includes inline staples like check rayon shirts, hickory half-zips, and graphic sweat shorts.
The ©SAINT Mxxxxxx Spring/Summer 2026 collection drops Friday, March 20, via authorized retailers nationwide.
