Photographer Louise Reinke goes backstage at PRESSIAT Spring Summer 2026 Paris Fashion Week show staged La Caserne is Europe’s largest fashion-focused incubator dedicated to sustainability. Halsey, Julia Fox, Bad Bunny, Megan Thee Stallion, Charlotte Rampling, and model Alton Levon Mason have all been spotted in Pressiat, but the brand is really the bone of young Paris nightlife and cabaret.
Vincent Garnier Pressiat, the French designer behind the label PRESSIAT, is known for his theatrical, gender-fluid approach to fashion that merges Parisian underground culture with couture techniques along with fabrics sourced from Nono Source. A graduate of La Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne, he honed his skills at houses like Saint Laurent, Balmain, and Maison Margiela before launching his own brand in 2021.
This season marks five years of collections that often blur the lines between elegance and rebellion, drawing on cabaret, nightlife, and subcultural references to create silhouettes that are both elegant and subversive. Vincent has renewed his vision while not shying away from the raw audacity, the move is one that is more subtle, more grounded where a woman is not a distant muse or tragic figure, but asserts her power with elegance.
