GAUCHERE blurs the boundaries between fashion and live art, turning the runway into a choreography of metamorphosis.
Under the creative direction of Marie-Christine Statz, the French maison presents its Spring Summer 2026 collection as an exercise in movement, energy, and constant evolution.
The stage becomes a space where clothing breathes, transforms, and interacts with the body.
In this vision, GAUCHERE explores a wardrobe in perpetual flux.
Garments shift between structure and fluidity, opacity and transparency, intimacy and collectivity.
Each piece is a statement of transition: from rigidity to softness, from silence to impulse, from stillness to vibrant motion.
The presentation comes alive in collaboration with choreographer and former principal dancer of the New York City Ballet, Benjamin Millepied.
His choreographic language dissolves traditional runway codes: models are dancers, and walking becomes dance.
Dance, in turn, becomes manifesto.
Movements reveal the garments in their purest form, where every step and turn reshapes the silhouette.
Figures communicate, contrast, and complement, expressing clothing as an extension of the body.
The soundtrack, This was written by Hand by composer David Lang, structures the performance’s sonic architecture.
Five dancers construct and deconstruct the choreography, transforming repetition into discovery.
Duos become trios, trios become collectives, each gesture propelled by the energy of desire.
Throughout the performance, fifteen looks embody the essence of the season.
The colour palette evolves organically: from black-and-white contrasts, to warm browns and beiges, and into soft shades of blue.
Accents of off-white and pastel yellow are grounded by deep neutrals such as architectural grey and marble black.
In textiles, GAUCHERE plays with contrasts between tactile utilitarian fabrics and fluid forms.
Structured denim, faux leather, and nylon pants and skirts are paired with twisted jersey and silk tops.
Light summer wool jackets fold over soft layers; skirts pair with sculptural bra tops.
Some pieces are constructed from silk-viscose crepe panels, connected with snaps to allow silhouettes to shift and transform with the body’s movement.
With this collection, GAUCHERE reaffirms its vision of fashion as a bodily and sensory language.
Movement does not just animate form — it defines it.
The energy of Millepied’s choreography elevates the collection to a poetics of change: transformation as beauty, metamorphosis as truth.
In the world of GAUCHERE, dressing is a choreographic act.
A silent conversation between material and emotion.
