Franck Sorbier Spring/Summer 2026 / SS26 at Paris Couture Week

“The daytime dresses evoke the New Wave and the spirit of freedom and rebellious lightness that characterized it. The evening wear showcases a collection of stage costumes that, I hope, would have appealed to Callas or Luchino Visconti and the last of the great dancers. Bustiers are ubiquitous, either in dresses or paired with skirts. Most often draped, they accentuate the waist, shoulders, and posture. Black and white frequently appear in printed, embroidered, or woven patterns. Brick red, Ottoman red, natural white, blotting pink, ochre yellow, violet, midnight blue, and black. Silk reigns supreme, from beginning to end: twill, crepe satin, raso shantung, saglione, organza, chiffon. A collection that exudes charm… Quite simply.”

Chapter II, A noble and captivating Asian-woody fragrance, a balance between clarity and mystery, restraint and sensuality. The luminous, crisp, and vibrant opening delivers a sensation of controlled clarity. The nuances unfold in subtle and airy notes, floral and refined, underpinned by a lightly smoky veil. The spicy tension creates a deep, sensual, and sophisticated envelope. The ambery leather heart and woody softness reveal an intimate and magnetic signature.
