SANDRO unveiled its 2026 fall-winter collection March 2026 at the Opéra Comique in Paris, blending the historic venue with contemporary movement to explore a “Winter of Love,” and extending the house’s earlier “Summer of Love” memory through evening-ready silhouettes, fabrics, and staged choreography.
The SANDRO creative studio framed the collection as a shift from “Summer of Love” memory to a “Winter of Love,” opening on the theme of nighttime freedom. Silk satins flowed, lace offered delicate detail, and pajama-style sets conveyed a languid, dreamlike balance between fantasy and reality.
The freewheeling spirit of the 1970s informed an Anglo aesthetic: uniforms were boldly reworked, tartans such as Prince of Wales checks and tailored cuts met cable-knits and paisley in a cross-cultural fashion dialogue that evokes travel from India to Britain. Jacquards and subtle prints carried a season-to-season affection; the brand’s beloved daisy motif bloomed on feminine pieces, symbolizing freedom and spontaneity. Onstage choreography emphasized garment shapes, allowing movement to complete the collection’s theatrical story.
The menswear line built a sense of freedom through layered construction, with roomy coats that envelop without constraining. Car coats in reversible black leather or lightweight shearling anchored the looks, while double-breasted pieces, straight cuts, and Mac-style coat silhouettes read both resilient and refined. Deliberate deconstruction abandoned shoulder pads and conventional tailoring; wool blazers, broad denim-collar jackets, and chunky ribbed knits added rhythmic variety. Longer, wider pant legs naturally covered shoes, reinforcing a relaxed, unbuttoned posture.
Special guests included Gawon of the Korean girl group MEOVV and Thai actress Davika Hoorne, who made surprise appearances during the presentation. Gawon wore a plaid dress that felt elegant and youthful, while Mai appeared in a denim look that read confident and modern.
