WEAVING becomes both technique and metaphor in Nanushka’s Spring/ Summer 2026 collection. Titled The Weave, the show fuses artisanal craft, layered textures, and sculpted silhouettes, translating tradition into modern garments designed for movement, summer energy, and tactile resonance.
At the heart of the collection lies the dialogue between tradition and modernity, inspired by Cuban-born interior designer Clara Porset. Porset, celebrated for her revolutionary work on the Latin American Butaque chair, was known for merging historic craftsmanship with modern form and reimagining everyday objects as functional art.
Under the creative direction of Sandra Sandor, Nanushka continues its ethos of sustainable, modern dressing, blending heritage techniques with contemporary silhouettes. The brand has built a reputation for creating pieces that balance functionality with effortless elegance making clothes that are both thoughtful and wearable.
Drawing on Porset’s ethos, SS26 treats weaving as a metaphor for creativity and patience. The bold striped red print on jersey polo dresses and even dangling earrings transform a simple motif into a playful, inventive statement, while the cream-and-black cracked pattern on washed-silk maxi dresses evokes experimentation and tactile artistry.
Texture and movement take centre stage, with accessories acting as key players in the collection’s storytelling. The Nami shoulder bag hugs the body in soft, sculpted shapes with signature crochet stitching. Scarves and soft pieces carry seasonal prints and woven motifs, reinforcing interconnectedness.
Large statement belts cinch the waist, shaping flowing silhouettes, while fringe and dangling chains catch the light with every step. Gold, silver, and wooden hardware punctuate the natural textures, blending artisanal craft with modern energy and summer vibrancy.
Flowing linens, hand-knotted cottons, and fluid silks provide comfort for warm weather, while tailored pieces and sculpted collars lend structure and refinement. It is designed for individuals who appreciate thoughtful craftsmanship and contemporary taste, those who seek clothing that is adaptable to both work and play.
Layered textures, bold prints, and handcrafted details give a quiet power yet lasting power to the woman on the move.
