Siegenthaler Fall/Winter 2026 Collection at Paris Fashion

Siegenthaler Fall/Winter 2026 / FW26 Collection at Paris Fashion entitled MEMENTO MORI

Impermanence as freedom, For its FW26 / Fall/Winter 2026 collection, SIEGENTHALER reinterprets MEMENTO MORI not as frozen melancholy, but as an urgent invitation to fully inhabit the present moment. Why postpone until tomorrow what can be lived now?

Duc Siegenthaler proposes a wardrobe that embraces the transformation of bo dies and identity. ty. In hushed interiors. ors with sage green walls, where time suspends between two breaths, each garment becomes a territory of silent metamorphoses: an oversized striped shirt that reconfigures into a short dress, a fluid skirt that adjusts from midi to knee length through a simple play of drawstrings, a coat whose silhouette transforms through a buttoning system.

AN INTROSPECTIVE TURN, After the heroic epic of Lore Genesis (SS24) and the performative exploration of METAMORPHOSIS PERPETUA (SS26), MEMENTO MORI marks a turn toward introspection. Modularity, the brand’s DNA since its founding, finds here its most intimate expres sion. Far from spectacular staging, Siegenthaler FW26 / Fall/Winter 2026 collection unfolds in a domestic and contem-plative aesthetic. This theatricality of everyday life celebrates intimacy as a space of transformation. It’s an in-between space neither truly public nor totally private where one can unravel and rebuild at will. The garment becomes a second skin that can be changed according to moods, a flexible architecture for bodies in perpetual becoming.

The chromatic palette sage green, taupe beige, pearl gray, off-white, deep black dialogues with noble materials: Prince of Wales check, pinstripes, satins, bicolor wool twill, corduroy, ribbed knits. These pieces embody a shared elegance, a war drobe that circulates between bodies and genders. Modularity offers an elegant res-ponse to overconsumption: one garment, multiple identities. Beauty that never comes at the expense of ethics.

ABOUT THE DESIGNER, Born in Asia of Sino-Vietnamese origin and adopted by a Swiss family. Duc Siegenthaler is a Paris-based fashion designer.

In 2023, he founded his brand SIEGENTHALER, exploring the contrasts between structure and fluidity. His passion for craftsmanship and taste for innovation have also enabled him to collaborate with Nike and be selected to represent the young generation of French design at the KEQIAO Fashion Week in Shanghai in October 2024. He teaches concurrently at Atelier Chardon Savard in Paris. For his SS26 collection METAMORPHOSIS PERPETUA, he collaborates with the RUN X ANDAM showroom and presents his collection as a performance.
