Ludovic de Saint Sernin Fall/Winter 2026 at Paris Fashion

Ludovic de Saint Sernin Fall/Winter 2026 / FW26 at Paris Fashion entitled Collection dix-huit

For Fall/Winter 2026, Ludovic de Saint Sernin explores a darker, more severe expression of the brand. Working within a restrained palette of black, white, and red. Fringes become both structural and expressive, while the interplay of velvet, leather, lace, and mesh creates graphic, sensual silhouettes where softness and rigor exist in constant tension. This season also marks a personal return. A reconnection with Ludovic’s voice and his initial creative instincts, embracing a more instinctive, raw approach to design. Intentionally stripped back, the collection rejects spectacle and excess. In a landscape saturated with images and constant content, Ludovic places craft at the center of his process, allowing construction, materiality, and silhouette to speak with clarity and restraint.

Accessories evolve alongside the collection with an expanded offering of bags. The house’s signature Cleavage Bag extends its family: now available not only in its iconic baguette shape, but also as a clutch in black nappa leather and in black, red, and white patent leather, as well as a bucket bag in beige suede and black pony leather. A new line is introduced with the Harness Bag. A baguette-shaped piece suspended from a harness, evoking subtle allusions to bondage and the codes of BDSM, reinterpreted through the house’s sensual and refined lens. Materiality remains central to the collection. Japanese fabrics are combined with pony hair leather in beige and black, suede, red leather, and black fringes. Hand-cut and assembled metal mesh meets delicate Japanese lace in black and deep red, alongside red and black nappa leather. Enduring signature materials of the brand.
