Anrealage Spring/Summer 2026 at Paris Fashion Week

Anrealage Spring/Summer 2026 / SS26 at Paris Fashion Week. A pulsing at once a symbol of love and vitality, each beat marks out a unique being-life force crystallized into form

Anrealage SS26 / Spring/Summer 2026, Kunihiko Monnaga honors the power of art to transcend boundaries through a collaboration with HERALBONY[1], a creative company based in Tokyo. Paris, and Morioka, empowering artists with disabilities to thrive and reframe perception.

Drawing on the passion and sincerity these creatives bring to their practice, the collection celebrates openness to new perspectives as eighteen artists contribute heartfelt works. Garments transform into canvases alive with boundless land-scapes, intimate impressions of deeply personal inner worlds. Patterned with prints produced by KYOCERA’s sustainable Textile printer FOREARTH(2), each piece emerges as a spontaneous act of creation and a singular visualization of being.

Details of Anrealage SS26 / Spring/Summer 2026, Clothes burst with emotion as their motifs and shapes stir into life, an extraordinary, whimsical eruption of wired flounces that recall baroque and psychedelic early organisms. A dress swells like a heart, while hems of voluminous skirts, jackets and capes undulate as if alive, each a distinct entity. Accessories extend the vision: feline-shaped handbags with metronomic tails, developed with robotics startup Yukal Engineering Inc., inspired by the robotics product Qoobo, recall the soothing embrace of a puring cat.

Continuing last season’s collaboration with Thomas Bangalter, the soundtrack created with HERALBONY-layers the rhythm of a heartbeat against quotidian ‘noises’ made by people with disabilities. The organic, evocative soundtrack underscores what it means to be human in an age increasingly shaped by Al and technology. Building on the ethos of his Anrealage label, Morinaga uses clothing to probe the frontiers of perception: how each being experiences its environment in unique ways. Two parallel worlds, two different visions; how we see, and how others see. The viewer is invited to ask why we perceive different landscapes from the same place. Where does the boundary lie, and what is revealed when it is crossed? Fashion thus becomes a vessel for the heartbeat, honoring the beauty of difference as the purest celebration of life and resilience.

As FOREARTH reduces water usage in textile printing to near zero, it eliminates the need for separate facilities for conventional pre and post-treatment processes such as steaming and washing, thereby cutting energy consumption and COv emissions significantly. At the same time, it preserves the natural softness of key fabrics widely used in the textile and apparel industries, while enabling high-definition printing on a broad range of materials including cotton, silk, polyester, nylon, and blended fabrics.
