For Spring/Summer 2026, Georges Chakra returns to the Maison's established vocabulary of glamour, drawing on couture codes that have long defined his work—formal bodices, pronounced structure, and ornamental surfaces. Rather than revisiting them as historical quotations, the collection recalibrates these elements through structure and precision, placing construction at the centre of its contemporary expression.

Silhouettes are shaped by proportion and engineered movement. Garments are built on clean, exact foundations, allowing volume to be introduced with control. Skirts are lifted and held away from the body through internal architecture, creating a sense of suspension rather than softness. Ballooned hems exaggerate the lower line, while sculpted peplums frame the waist with firmness. Sleeves extend outward in architectural forms, reinforcing the upper body and lending a sense of authority to the silhouette.

Construction carries much of the collection's historical dialogue. Corseted busts and high, structured bodices recall Elizabethan dress, translated into modern couture through sharp lines and disciplined finishing. Elsewhere, bodices take on an armour-like quality, reinforced by relief embroidery that builds texture directly into the garment rather than sitting on its surface. These elements shape posture as much as form, encouraging an upright stance where strength is embedded in cut and structure.

Ornamentation is treated as an extension of architecture. Clean silhouettes act as frameworks for the work of the atelier, allowing decoration to accumulate without disrupting proportion. Embroidery, latticework, pearls, and appliqués are layered across garments, creating depth and repetition. From a distance, the collection reads through line, volume, and silhouette; up close, the focus shifts to the intricacy of craftsmanship and the density of handwork.

The palette remains light, allowing construction and surface detail to dominate. Ivories, chalk whites, soft nudes, blush tones, and pale golds form a luminous base. These are punctuated by touches of colour—apricot, lavender, melon—which add warmth.

In this Spring/Summer 2026 collection, Georges Chakra presents couture as a study in structure and control. Drama is articulated through proportion, richness through surface, and modernity through precision of cut. The result is a vision of couture defined not by reduction, but by the clarity with which volume, ornament, and construction are brought into balance.
