Kolor Spring/Summer 2026 / SS26 at Paris Men’s Fashion Week

For Spring/Summer 2026 / SS26, Kolor embarks on a journey through time — both literal and emotional — offering a collection that feels like ‘the hours’ and ‘the waves’ blending into one seamless motion. The designs tap into a layered sense of nostalgia and futurism, where ‘time travel’ becomes a metaphor for how clothes move, shift, and evolve with the wearer. At the heart of the collection is a refined tailoring base, softened and made dynamic with touches of ‘chic humor’ and casual irreverence.

This season marks a new chapter, as Kolor introduces Taro Horiuchi as Creative Director. Born in Tokyo and a graduate of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp, Horiuchi brings a thoughtful, intellectual edge to the brand. With accolades like the International Talent Support Diesel Award and a résumé that includes TARO HORIUCHI, “th products”, and collaborations with MUJI LABO and DESCENTE ALL TERRAIN, his design DNA aligns with Kolor’s spirit — grounded, experimental, and subtly witty.

The Kolor SS26 collection is a celebration of subtle instability. By gently dismantling the idea of perfect form, Kolor uncovers new aesthetics rooted in off-kilter harmony. Blazers are intentionally asymmetrical, trousers drape with unexpected volume, and classic silhouettes appear warped — as if touched by the passage of time or a shift in gravity. These irregularities don’t disrupt; they reveal a new kind of beauty — calm, intentional, and rich with texture.

Kolor SS26 / Spring/Summer 2026 thrives on contrast — a constant dialogue between opposites defines its rhythm. Tailoring meets techwear, structure flirts with fluidity, and seriousness is diffused by lightness and play. It’s this quiet tension that creates freshness. In Horiuchi’s debut, Kolor doesn’t just evolve — it transforms, offering a poetic and clever rethinking of modern menswear that invites the wearer to walk through time, with a smile.
