At Paris Fashion Week, Vaquera unveiled its Spring 2026 collection, where irreverence met couture proportions and the launch of its first fragrance, Classique Perdu.
Couture silhouettes distorted, half-dresses suspended from bras, faux-fur skirts clashing with track pants — the mood at Vaquera Spring 2026 was one of chaotic elegance, where irony met ambition. Patric DiCaprio and Bryn Taubensee staged their Paris show as a statement on reaching the ten-year mark: no longer outsiders, yet still intent on pushing against fashion’s codes.
Alongside the clothes, the duo introduced Classique Perdu, a fragrance created with Comme des Garçons Parfums. With notes of lavender, rose, sage and even “permanent marker,” it recalls ’90s perfume ads, blow-dried hair and the chill of car air-conditioning.
The runway balanced fantasy and function: a netted hat topping a patchwork party dress, scribble-print denim made with Moussy, and futuristic sneakers from their latest collaboration with Nike. Tailored jackets, logo tees and acid-wash jeans grounded the spectacle in everyday wearability, pointing to a more mature business while keeping the brand’s outsider streak intact.
Even the fragrance packaging carried that tension — a clear bottle covered in clearance stickers, buried in packing peanuts, more lost-and-found than luxury. Together, collection and perfume reaffirmed that Vaquera’s Paris chapter isn’t about assimilation, but about amplifying the friction between authenticity and theater.
