Inspired by nostalgic pirate tales and the drama of the New Romantics, Cruise 26 explores the tension between softness and structure. Fluid silks meet crisp denim, corseted lace contrasts with sharp tailoring.

“Cruise 26 is inspired by nostalgic pirate adventures and the flamboyance of the New Romantics. A treasure trove of nostalgia is given fresh interpretation through fluid fabrics, dynamic shapes and illustrative prints to capture a carefree mood. We played a lot with contrast — floaty silks against structured denim, delicate lace paired with sharp tailoring. There’s volume, romance, and drama, but it’s never too serious. That tension is what makes it feel modern: celebrating a sense of fun, freedom and a little rebellious adventure.”
