Nicolas Di Felice’s Courrèges: A Master of His Craft
Once again, Nicolas Di Felice has proven himself to be a master of his craft with his latest Spring/Summer 2026 collection for Courrèges. The collection, showcased on the second afternoon of Paris Fashion Week, was a brilliant display of the designer’s talent, building upon his previous successes season after season.
Transcending the Ordinary
Courrèges took the audience on a journey beyond the ordinary, ascending into the solar beyond with a collection that shimmered and intensified like the phases of the sun. The house’s signature square-shaped venue was transformed into a circle by Rémy Brière and Matière Noire, setting the stage for a cyclical narrative of heat and light.
A Hypnotic Atmosphere
Parisian composer Erwan Sene added to the atmosphere with a hypnotic score that dictated rising temperatures on the runway. From icy beginnings to burning finales, the collection climbed from 22 to 30 degrees, mirroring the changing intensity of the sun.
Soft Yet Bold Silhouettes
Courrèges’ sculpted silhouettes were soft yet structured, making a bold statement on the runway. At 22 degrees, a frost lingered with teal and navy shades washing over sheer tops, skirts, and veiled caps. As the temperature rose to 24 degrees, swimsuits fused with checkered bottoms, leather outerwear, and hybrid footwear, marking the transition to temperate exteriors.
Blazing Lights and Metallic Accessories
At 26 degrees, the lights blazed like a midday sun, illuminating cutout bomber jackets, inseparable co-ords, and fluid eveningwear. Finally, at 30 degrees, metallic accessories solidified the collection’s theme. Slashed garments in plant-based vinyl echoed today’s fragile climate, while bleached dresses shielded faces from blinding rays, closing the show with both urgency and radiance.
