Summary

  • JiyongKim has revealed the lookbook for its SS26 collection
  • It features flowy, sculptural silhouettes in muted earth tones and blues
  • Standouts include a sun-bleached shawl collar jacket and an Alpha Industries anorak

JiyongKim’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection continues the designer’s exploration of time, nature and textile transformation through his signature sun-bleaching technique. Inspired by the slow erosion and fading caused by environmental exposure, the garments are crafted with intentional irregularities. The collection builds on the brand’s philosophy of sustainable experimentation, using natural processes to create one-of-a-kind textures and patterns without chemical dyes.

This season introduces a series of flowy yet sculptural silhouettes that emphasize movement and layering. Draped trousers, flowy shirts and oversized outerwear embody a laidback appeal, creating dynamic shapes that shift with the wearer. The palette leans into muted earth tones and washed blacks and grays, punctuated by summery blue hues for a breezy touch. Standout pieces include the sun-bleached shawl collar jacket that encapsulates the collection’s vibe, as well as the collaborative anorak with Alpha Industries.
