Saul Nash presents STANCE, a collection that explores ideas of masculinity, strength and desire through a collision of sportswear and tailoring. Shown inside Milanese Gymnastics Society Forza e Coraggio, one of Milan’s oldest sporting societies, the London-based designer channels his movement-based design philosophy through an exploration of the male physique. “SAUL NASH SS27 / Spring/Summer 2027 collection began through researching archival imagery of sports figures and male pin-ups, examining how masculinity is constructed and performed through both clothes and gesture,” says Saul Nash.

Details of SAUL NASH SS27 / Spring/Summer 2027, Celebrating the body in motion, pieces are engineered to highlight and accentuate the frame that wears them. The silhouette of a wrestling singlet – which alongside its original sporting use, has been adopted as a sensual garment – inspires a graphic that appears across a series of compression tops. The same graphic, also resembling the lines of a sports hall floor, appears across breathable, mesh knits that were first developed by Nash for his 2022 International Woolmark Prize-winning collection.

Varsity moments can be seen throughout in striped knitted panels that creep down the back of bomber jackets, or more subtly, in waterproof shirts, where the wrestling singlet shape is nodded to in a perforated outline across the torso. The collection is guided by functionality: a merino wool pinstripe jacket, for instance, borrows its shape from equestrian uniforms but comes with a built-in hood.

Garments are designed to reveal and conceal the body simultaneously. Ultra-lightweight, nylon ripstop twinsets, in powdery pale yellows and rustic oranges, are cut with panels of different opacities – showing slivers of the body beneath. Nash also revisits his nipple-exposing Henley shirts, now in collegiate-inspired colourways, granting the wearer the choice to unveil more of themselves. Nash continues to elevate wardrobe staples through the lens of movement. Here, a floor-length rain jacket is cut like a double-breasted trench, catching the air as it strides, while a suede jacket is designed with holes for ventilation.

There’s an increased focus on how garments move across the body. Form-fitting, semi-sheer track jackets and cycling shorts are cut from super-stretch mesh and Lycra. Denim is whiskered to offer a lived-in feel, and darts are integrated into trousers so they open on the body when in motion. In addition, Nash introduces a new suit jacket, fitted with pleats and an elasticated back which nods to fencing uniforms. Presented here in a variety of fabrications, including Ponte Di Milano and drill, the silhouette represents Nash’s fusion of sportswear codes with more formal flourishes. Teaming up with APICCAPS and TOWORKFOR, Nash presents his second footwear design, a reinterpretation of a boat shoe, equipped with a mesh and suede upper and a drawstring-style fastening on the laces.

Saul Nash also previewed the SLNSH Summer 2026 collection, the fifth and final chapter in his SLNSH collaboration with lululemon. SLNSH blends Nash’s key design approach with the global apparel company’s technical innovation to blur the lines between performance and lifestyle. During the show, Nash unveiled select looks from the upcoming collection, which celebrates the radiant energy of summer with lenticular prints, lightweight layers, and coastal tones. Key SLNSH Summer 2026 looks showcased include: jersey tracksuits that appear sun-faded, half zip bodysuits, printed t-shirts, and waterproof jackets adorned with a moving bodies motif. The SLNSH Summer 2026 collection will be available on lululemon.com and in lululemon stores across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and China on June 30, 2026
