Saul Nash officially debuted his Spring/Summer 2027 “STANCE” collection inside the Milanese Gymnastics Society Forza e Coraggio, delivering a profound exploration of masculinity, strength, and desire. The London-based designer utilized the historic sporting venue to anchor his movement-based design philosophy, presenting garments engineered specifically to celebrate the male physique in motion.
The collection heavily showcases a collision between traditional athletic sportswear and refined tailoring. The structural silhouette of a wrestling singlet serves as a core visual anchor, translating into graphic patterns across compression tops, breathable mesh knits, and perforated outlines on waterproof shirts. Functionality guides the technical garments, highlighted by a merino wool pinstripe jacket equipped with an equestrian-shaped silhouette and a built-in hood, alongside ventilation-mapped suede jackets and floor-length trench rain jackets. Materials fluctuate between ultra-lightweight nylon ripstop twinsets in pale yellow and rustic orange hues, form-fitting stretch mesh, and Lycra panels. Darts are integrated into trousers to expand dynamically during movement, while a new pleated suit jacket introduces a fencing-inspired elasticated back panel in Ponte Di Milano and drill fabrications.
Footwear makes a prominent appearance through a secondary collaboration with APICCAPS and TOWORKFOR. The joint effort yields a reinterpreted boat shoe silhouette constructed with a premium mesh and suede upper and finished with a utilitarian drawstring lace fastening.
Alongside the runway looks, Nash previewed the upcoming SLNSH Summer 2026 line, marking the fifth and final chapter of his ongoing partnership with lululemon. The technical lifestyle range introduces coastal tones, lenticular prints, and sun-faded jersey tracksuits layered with half-zip bodysuits and waterproof jackets featuring a moving bodies motif.
The SLNSH Summer 2026 collection drops June 30, 2026 via lululemon.com and in lululemon retail locations across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and China.
