Paris Fall/ Winter Fashion Week 2026-2027
During the Paris Fall-Winter 2026-2027 Fashion Week, Nona Source once again highlighted emerging talent. By providing access to these high-quality fabrics, we offer designers a unique opportunity to unleash their creativity while reusing the treasures from luxury Maisons.
Among the highlights of the week, several designers stood out for their innovative approach to more sustainable fashion:
Jeanne Friot, Steven Passaro, as well as four designers supported by SPHERE: Cachí, C.R.E.O.L.E, Gardouch, and La Cage.
Jeanne Friot - “Awake”
Season after season, Jeanne Friot’s shows draw full houses. Since her beginnings at SPHERE in Paris, the designer has crafted a strong universe, driven by social and environmental commitments that captivate a loyal audience.
For her “Awake” FW26-27 collection, presented at the Théâtre du Rond-Point, she unveiled an electrifying show blending dance, PDA (public display of affection), and fashion. Embroidered jeans with purple feathers, corsets, dresses, skirts, chunky boots made from belts, and an abundance of tartan make up the Jeanne Friot “uniform,” worn as a manifesto. More than a runway show, it was a statement: her silhouettes embody the values that have established her as one of the rising figures on the Paris fashion scene.
Steven Passaro - “Ethereal Shift”
With his FW26-27 collection “Ethereal Shift,” Steven Passaro explores transformation and liberation, envisioning rupture as an awakening. Inspired by the desire for meaning and reconnection, each silhouette becomes a passage where rituals and gestures engage in dialogue with traditional techniques and contemporary construction. Volumes, materials, and shapes transform, shaping fashion as a living, ever-evolving process a vision revealed during an intimate, face-to-face encounter.
SPHERE - Cachí, C.R.E.O.L.E, Gardouch et La Cage
At the close of this Fashion Week, SPHERE spotlighted four committed designers: Cachí, C.R.E.O.L.E, Gardouch, and La Cage.
In collaboration with Nona Source, each transforms deadstock fabrics from luxury Houses into a creative language entirely their own.
The diversity of their styles demonstrates that circular materials do not hinder creativity; on the contrary, they open new avenues of expression and redefine sustainable fashion.
Supported by DEFI and L’Oréal Paris, SPHERE brings together each season at the Palais de Tokyo brands that reinvent fashion with boldness and determination.
Cachí - “La Boca”
At the 2026-2027 Fashion Week, Cachí presented its new collection “La Boca,” inspired by Argentine tango and celebrating color, texture, and movement. Created by the Franco-Argentine duo Belén Frias and Élise Girault, the brand was born from their meeting in Paris, where fashion became their shared language.
Cachí highlights Franco-Argentine craftsmanship and circularity, subtly, precisely, and modernly reinventing the essentials of the men’s wardrobe. By blending classic tailoring with cultural influences, the brand transforms the familiar into something entirely new.
C.R.E.O.L.E - SK1N
C.R.E.O.L.E. presented its new collection, SK1N, which reinterprets the skinhead movement through its origins and transformations. Emerging in late-1960s Britain from the encounter between working-class white youth and Caribbean immigrants, the skinhead style was initially shaped by ska and reggae, functional clothing, and a working-class ethos, before being gradually reinterpreted and ideologically co-opted.
In SK1N, this visual language becomes an exhibition space: the body laid bare under social pressure. Shaved heads, boots, jeans, and shirts evoke work and discipline while leaving room for play, ambiguity, and reinterpretation. The collection confronts the evolution of this counterculture without glorifying its ideological excesses, reimagining skinhead iconography as a critical tool where the body becomes a site of memory and expression rather than ideology or power.
By using surplus fabrics from Nona Source, the brand creates pieces that celebrate cultural hybridity and the plurality of legacies.
Gardouch - “Les anneaux de Saturne”
Founded in Paris in 2024 by Rémy Guerra, Gardouch explores personal and collective memory through clothing, conceived as a “fragment of an archive.” Its Fall-Winter 2026-2027 collection “Les anneaux de Saturne”, blends anachronisms with archival pieces, juxtaposing the designer’s childhood with that of his grandfather and highlighting their patina. Made in France from deadstock fabrics of luxury Houses, the pieces combine craftsmanship and experimentation, featuring a restrained palette accented with orange and red, and paying particular attention to patterns, stripes, and embroidery.
La Cage - “L’ART DE LA FUGUE”
Graduates of Duperré School in 2021, Victoria Baia and Victor Koehler founded La Cage in 2022, a Paris-based menswear brand. Inspired by 1990s cinema, they reinterpret the codes of parade and ceremonial uniforms, creating handcrafted pieces made in France. Their FW26-27 collection, l’art de la fugue, tells the journey of a “Fou Voyageur” and draws inspiration from the story of Albert Dadas, a 19th-century man afflicted with pathological fugues, exploring the theme of travel without a destination. They were finalists at the 39th International Fashion Festival of Hyères in 2024.
