SPRING SUMMER 2026

For Spring/Summer 2026, Kate Hundley deepens her exploration of the dialogue between utilitarian structure and modern femininity. The collection draws on the prolific vision of Charlotte Perriand, whose work infused daily life with design. Here, rigid materials are coaxed into sweeping organic forms, while workwear silhouettes are softened through fluid textures and unexpected finishes.

The palette centers on black and white, accented with flashes of lipstick red, soft pink, and iris. Materials further this interplay of contrasts: zebra haircalf and silver lamé python offer “natural” patterns in strikingly unnatural executions.

A series of sculptural statements anchor the collection. Echoing the curving staircase of the Tate Modern, supple chocolate nappa leather panels swirl around the body in a structured top. A strapless gown constructed from horizontal bands of stretch leather releases into a low waist, dissolving into a floor-length skirt of silk georgette.

Signature details define the narrative. The house’s iconic belt motifs reappear at the waist of a split-front leather jacket and across the front of a zebra haircalf skirt. Lacing elements serve as subtle punctuation, cinching the sides of a boxy silk tank or finishing the back of a cowl-neck slip dress.

American wardrobe staples are reimagined with sculptural forms. The classic T-shirt is pulled in at the waist and traced with curving hip panels in crisp white cotton poplin and sheer black. The button-down shirt appears both timeless in white and blue cotton poplin with lace-up accents, and sensual in black or burgundy charmeuse. A black tuxedo jacket is deconstructed with split seams, curved hip panels, and a satin lapel that gently lifts away from the body.

Together, these pieces articulate a vision of strength and sensuality—where structure meets softness, and utility is elevated.
