PEET DULLAERT SPRING/SUMMER 2026
Spring-Summer 2026 collection notes :
For the Spring-Summer 2026 collection as shown at Haute Couture Week, Peet Dullaert continues a balance between boldness and fluidity, Modern sewn creation : “cousu main’, with a contemporary reality. A vision that reimagines the intimate logic of underpinnings and the purposeful geometry of athletic wear as couture-inflected outer garments. Across this season’s silhouettes the line between what is worn as foundation and what is worn as expression dissolves subtly into a new sartorial grammar for today’s rhythms.
Rooted in an ethos that honors how the body inhabits and moves through life, this collection expands couture’s lexicon by bringing the sensibility of crafted interiors outward. Elements traditionally conceived as undergarments or activewear are re-interpreted with couture precision: they frame and support without claiming the body, they articulate dynamic lines and proportions that speak as much to ease of motion as they do to refined presence. Fabrics and constructions embrace resilience, comfort, and poise. Not as trends, but as logic of wear in the lived moment.
More than a stylistic fusion, the collection is an exploration of body intelligence, how garments we wear respond to breath, posture, and stride, balanced with artisanal techniques entirely executed by hand in Paris. The result is a wardrobe that feels both intimately familiar and freshly oriented toward how we engage with the world, with couture as supporter and companion rather than ornament alone.
Highlights of the collection include architectural yet fluid shapes that echo the structure of underlayers, couture-grade fabrics tailored with the precision of sportswear engineering, and silhouette narratives that affirm movement as a design principle. This season’s work reflects the house’s ongoing commitment to creating couture that is lived in, thought through, and invigoratingly contemporary.
« Tailored for modern posture – in reflection of our time »
Manifesto :
What is beauty. The question that is the bane of our industry’s existence. I believe it cannot be addressed with only the presentation of the end product on the runway. From the cuts that mold on the body, to embrace it, not claim; my inspiration with the Atelier is rooted in celebration of us people.
The creations, crafted by artisanal fabric manipulation, resulting in unique surfaces reinterpret suiting adapted to modern posture trough construction adapted to modern life[1],and flou-tailoring [2]. The exploration of organic shapes and the human anatomy through re-invented techno-pleat designs [3] is what the collection speaks to.
The myriad of human silhouettes. Each of them, entirely shaped and sewn by hand. “Cousu main” : a needle, a thread, creation without the use of a machine. Such creation is greatly personal at the base of it all, and inspired by the lives of the diverse group of individuals around me, the generations that inspire and teach me. And so, our inspiration at the Atelier is rooted in this celebration of people, and the myriad of their human silhouettes, that has been a guiding architect.
Reflection on life in this digital age. Silhouettes emerging from a storm, to honour resilience and movement of the body. You are meant to live in our clothes, to be : free. – Peet Dullaert
