Spring-Summer 2026 Collection

HAUTE COUTURE WEEK

Haute Couture Week : Spring-Summer 2026

For the Spring-Summer 2026 collection, 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.

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

Glossary

PEET DULLAERT Signature Suiting - Cut for modern posture. Our cuts allow you to type on your phone, bend your arms at angles needed to live today’s lifestyle, whilst maintaining a fluid sartorial look. This is achieved through the house’s signature turned cut that allows for dynamic movement of the body, achieved through a bias-cut direction on the back and the arms. As opposed to traditional linear position of seams, that does not allow the wearer to live an active life, our signature cut allows for free movement of the arms complimented by design aesthetic that makes our seams flow with the body’s movement.
Flou-tailoring – A technique where the fabric is shaped directly on a live body, without the process of creation on a mannequin. The genesis of every design created in this collection is through live draping on the body.
PEET DULLAERT Techno pleating – A unique innovation of the house in treating fabric, techno pleating is manipulation of the house trademark pleated-fabric to create shapes. Fabrics that are either manipulated by hand or machine, and each piece created by only one Artisan. The way the fabric is pleated and structured, allows the wearer to truly move in the clothes; without feeling constrained by its fit. Even though each piece is couture made, the buyer can be assured that they will comfortably be able to fit into the clothes through the journey of their life. The techno pleating material further allows the wearer to travel without worrying about creases. One can bunch up the clothes, such that it is compact and can be fit into a travel suitcase, unfolded and draped on the body. For a carefree wearer that is active and does not want to be worried about ironing, luggage space, but priorities aesthetics and cuts.

Responsible in-house production cycle – On a made to order basis, for ready to wear and couture, translating to our goal of conscious production. As the house only uses materials to fulfill specific orders leading to minimal scope for waste. Our shipment process is end to end carbon neutral with fully recyclable packaging.
