DOBLAS presents its Fall Winter 2026 collection Collapse, exploring contradiction as a creative language through tailoring, proportion and material.
A sustained tension runs through every look and defines the rhythm of the collection. Presented at 080 Barcelona Fashion, DOBLAS’ Fall Winter 2026 collection Collapse unfolds through tailoring, textile assembly and proportion. Created by Carlos Doblas, the collection debuted in Barcelona during the 37th edition of the event, building a language where each formal decision carries intention and where construction, instability, completion and fragmentation move together within the same silhouette.
Asymmetry operates as a system. Cropped fronts, elongated backs and shifted cuts generate a sense of constant movement, almost architectural, where imbalance becomes structure. Classic tailoring provides the foundation, yet it is reshaped through displacement and alteration, opening new ways of reading form. In parallel, garments assembled from scraps and patchworks introduce a process driven dimension. Fabrics appear in transition, as if each piece were still negotiating its final state, bringing solidity and vulnerability into the same visual field.
The tuxedo, one of the most codified symbols of formality, enters a more fluid register here. Its ceremonial weight softens and integrates into a system where elegance takes shape through flexibility and experimentation. A subtle gesture toward the 1960s brings clean silhouettes and a restrained femininity, reinterpreted from a contemporary perspective rather than through nostalgia. With a background spanning Zara, Bimba & Lola and Uterqüe, alongside formative experience with Davidelfin, Carlos Doblas consolidates in DOBLAS a proposal that brings industry knowledge and authorial vision into sharp alignment. Collapse inhabits contradiction as an active principle of design.
