Growing Up, but Not Quite at Paloma Wool Fall-Winter 2026

13 / 03 / 2026

At Paloma Wool, adulthood loosens its collar. Between disciplined tailoring and flashes of childish whimsy, Paloma Lanna lets nostalgia slip gently into the everyday.

Paloma Wool unveiled its Fall-Winter 2026 collection at Paris Fashion Week. Models walked out to “Los Amores”, commissioned from Spanish flamenco guitarist Yerai Cortés, whose energetic composition transformed the runway into a celebratory, almost party-like atmosphere.

The collection was built around disciplined silhouettes evoking the feeling of an inherited wardrobe with pieces defined by precise pattern-cutting, structured forms and a sense of adult responsibility in the playful collection. Breaking through this formality was an unexpected giant fuchsia nylon bow. Its exaggerated presence introduces irony and softness into the otherwise serious uniform, reflecting a lingering sense of adolescence within the routines of grown-up life.

Designer Paloma Lanna also collaborated with artist Fumiko Imano, drawing from a personal story. During a solo work trip to Paris in 2018, Lanna began carrying a stuffed fox on her travels a small, whimsical companion amid the pressures of professional life. That idea carries into the collection, where stuffed animals appear within the looks, disrupting the strictness of the uniform.
