Inside BERNADETTE’s SS26 ‘Summer Estate’

Carefree girlhood, seaside rituals and the quiet pull of nostalgia define BERNADETTE’s SS26 vision, where familiar places become the setting for memories both old and new.

A familiar house by the sea has the power to hold entire summers within its walls. BERNADETTE draws on that feeling in its Spring/Summer 2026 collection, ‘Summer Estate’, imagining a place where cherished memories and future moments unfold side by side.

The Belgian label builds its story around sunlit rooms, hidden garden corners and long afternoons shaped by salt air and easy routines. Nostalgia blends with anticipation, while the playful energy of girlhood runs through the collection and gives every look a sense of warmth and familiarity. Styled by Makram Bitar with scenography by Noëmi Orgaer, the campaign extends that atmosphere through quietly cinematic imagery.

Fluid dresses, crisp shirting, soft tailoring and couture-inspired silhouettes are enriched with shell embroideries, gingham checks and delicate floral motifs. Colours inspired by coastal sunsets and handcrafted details echo treasures collected during endless holidays by the water, bringing texture and emotion to the wardrobe.

‘Summer Estate’ embraces celebrations, family gatherings and spontaneous seaside escapes with equal ease. The collection reflects BERNADETTE’s signature balance of craftsmanship and romance while inviting its wearer to create new memories in clothes designed to be returned to season after season.
