Conceived as a permanent wardrobe rather than a seasonal drop, Pepa Salazar’s Essentials Collection makes its Paris debut through ‘J’Adore Mi Amor’, a private dinner celebrating the designer’s creative community.

Working directly on the mannequin has long shaped Pepa Salazar‘s approach to fashion. Draping fabric onto the body allows her to build sculptural silhouettes where structure, movement and sensuality meet. That language now defines the Essentials Collection, presented during June’s Paris Fashion Week alongside ‘J’Adore Mi Amor’, an intimate dinner with friends of the brand and figures from fashion, music and culture.
Rather than introducing a new aesthetic, the collection distils the pieces and codes that have made the label instantly recognisable. Precise pattern cutting, body-conscious construction and fluid forms come together in a concise wardrobe designed to last beyond the season.
The same idea extends to the materials. Fabrics made from wood pulp, regenerative cotton and recycled fibres reinforce a more conscious approach to design without losing the technical precision that defines the brand.
The Paris dinner brings together names such as Loli Bahia, Rachel Marx, Alizée Gamberini, Gigi Goode, Sega Bodega, Slim Soledad, Jeune Pouce, Gaspar Noé, Nicolas Di Felice, Gorka Postigo and Imruh Asha. Supported by Nike, the evening continues the long relationship between the sportswear brand and the designer.
After dressing artists including Rosalía, Kim Kardashian, Madonna, Úrsula Corberó and, most recently, Angèle for the video of her single ‘Dis-le’, Pepa Salazar refines the foundations of her universe. With Essentials, her signature wardrobe becomes a statement of consistency, sensuality and form.
