CFCL Fall/Winter 2026 at Paris Fashion Week

CFCL Fall/Winter 2026 / FW26 at Paris Fashion Week present the VOL.12 Collection

CFCL continues its creative practice guided by a fundamental question: can fashion contribute to shaping a better society? As a medium that connects society and the individual wearer, clothing functions as an artwork of multiples, allowing the intentions of its maker to spread through the act of wearing.

With the VOL.12 Collection, CFCL reconceives the concept of “social sculpture” proposed by Joseph Beuys, marking forty years since his passing. By bringing together social activism and art, Beuys sought to create new forms of society and expanded the definition of art itself. Drawing from his practice, which moves across social impact, creative expression and aesthetic awareness, CFCL layers the conceptual notion of sculpture onto Knit-ware.

FELT INSPIRATION, This group draws inspiration from the felt works of Joseph Beuys, particularly the unarranged drapes and the minimalist expression achieved through a single material.

TW INLAY, The TW INLAY series features a knitted fabric made from a blend of non-mulesed New Zealand wool and Inner Mongolian cashmere. A triple-layered structure that sandwiches highly elastic recycled polyester between layers creates both substantial firmness and warmth. The raw knitted edges and the mélanged surface give the fabric an appearance of felt. A generously voluminous unlined coat (LOOK #1, 2, 3, 9, 12, 14, 15, 19, 25) creates a strong drape at the back by extending a band across the nape of the neck.

AC MILAN / MILAN VELVET, Casual drape is expressed in a contemporary way through the use of multiple lightweight materials. In addition to the signature MILAN series made from 100 percent recycled polyester, the group includes AC MILAN and MILAN VELVET, blended with bright acetate yarn and rayon chenille yarn. Each expresses a delicate drape suited to the CFCL FW26 / Fall/Winter 2026 collection, resulting in a light and effortless style.

BARK INSPIRATION, The first motif pattern introduced since the founding of the brand is a foil print inspired by the bark of oak trees. It serves as an homage to Joseph Beuys and his project 7000 Oaks (1982–1987), realized in Kassel, Germany.

SOFT PORTRAIT FOIL / SOFT MILAN FOIL, The tight-fitting SOFT PORTRAIT FOIL dress (LOOK #32) is knitted in a seamless rib structure using cupro polyester yarn, then finished with a foil print applied to the completed garment. The SOFT MILAN FOIL flared dress (LOOK #29, 35), with a hem circumference of six meters, combines an upper body knitted in seamless rib with metallic yarn and a fan-shaped skirt knitted in a Milan rib structure and printed with foil. The two sections are sewn together while creating drapes. In both styles, the foil print is achieved through advanced technology that applies an extremely thin layer of binder, allowing a smooth luster to be expressed even on stretch fabric.

FLUFFY FRINGE FOIL / ENCHANT, The oak bark motif is also rendered in three-dimensional texture and developed into special occasion dresses. The FLUFFY FRINGE FOIL dress (LOOK#30, 34, 36, 38, 43) features plate-like knitted fringe finished with foil print together with metallic thread fringe in two colors, 1,265 pieces in total. Each fringe is inserted by hand, one by one, through holes programmed into the body of the garment. The ENCHANT train dress (LOOK #39, 40) is further elevated with 2,670 silver and black sequins, enhancing its elegance.

For CFCL FW26 / Fall/Winter 2026, do the collaboration with VEJA began from a shared commitment to greater transparency within the sneaker supply chain. In this second edition, we continue our exploration of functional design and innovative materials with a new iteration. Incorporating CFCL’s sophisticated style and proposing knitwear as tools for people to use in their everyday lives, this exclusive edition reflects a reductive design approach and meticulous attention to quality materials. The collaboration is scheduled for release in early fall 2026.
