Balmain’s spring-summer 2026 collection
More than a collection, a feeling. That’s how we could define Balmain’s collection for next season. A collection that invites us to imagine a future in which fashion not only dresses us, but elevates us.
For spring-summer 2026, Balmain bursts onto the scene with a vibrant dawn in a world hungry for innovation.
Olivier Rousteing, the brand’s creative director, works his magic once again with an unprecedented fusion of craftsmanship and the future, a perfect combination that embraces light, movement, and intense colour.
When the calendar announces longer days filled with greater warmth, Balmain aspires not only to dress bodies but also to spread an attitude, a rhythm, a statement of gentle yet resounding power.
Balmain presents looks that resemble brushstrokes from a modern painting: citrus tones, electric pinks and mineral greens enveloping sculptural silhouettes.
The brand’s iconic jackets are reborn in lighter versions, with structures that boldly dare to play with the architecture of the wearer’s body, without losing the military essence that has historically characterised the maison.
In terms of textures, Balmain seeks to continue combining tradition and avant-garde. Embossed fabrics reminiscent of carved ceramics coexist with translucent organza that captures the midday glow. Balmain makes movement the true, and only, protagonist.
Skirts that ripple like waves, capes that open like petals, and draped dresses that seem to hide all the memories treasured during the summer. Each piece flows effortlessly, as if dancing with the breeze in the most delicate way.
The brand’s signature rock and roll touch is softened with pearl details and embroidery reminiscent of constellations.
The woman Balmain has created for this summer is powerful yet radiant; she is strong yet light-hearted.
Nor does Balmain forget the environment with this collection, demonstrating the necessary awareness of everything around us.
To this end, the fashion house is committed to recycled materials and dyeing techniques that reduce environmental impact without compromising on luxury and sophistication.
We are, without a doubt, looking at a collection that symbolises a new beginning: brilliant, bold, and absolutely unforgettable.
