Seoul Fashion Week SS26 Roundup

Seoul Fashion Week Spring Summer 2026 opened with confidence and vision. Celebrating its twenty fifth anniversary, the city turned temples, palaces and modern landmarks into striking runways. The season unfolded as a study in contrasts, moving from playful clashes of color to futuristic experiments with technology and deeply rooted cultural storytelling. Designers embraced layering, bold tailoring and inventive fabrics, capturing the spirit of a fashion scene that thrives on both heritage and innovation.

Andersson Bell

Andersson Bell opened the week with its collection Soft Clash, an exploration of contradictions that somehow felt perfectly balanced. Striped knits, mismatched layers and unexpected color clashes created looks that were playful and in the spirit of 90s grunge.

Caruso

Caruso presented a sophisticated yet vibrant take on tailoring. Oversized jackets, flowing trousers and open shirts were styled with scarves and layered textures, blending Italian menswear codes with a distinctly Korean ease. The collection leaned into gender-fluid cuts and relaxed shapes, allowing tailoring to feel both formal and undone. Key details included paisley prints, wide lapels, and the clever mix of luxe fabrics with a casual, lived-in spirit.

Big Park

Big Park brought its audience to a temple, grounding fashion with culture. Neutral tones, and flowing fabrics created a mood that was minimal yet emotionally charged. Modern silhouettes contrasted with the historic location, making the clothes feel like a dialogue between past and future. Guests visiting the show shared a temple meal, which created a moment for a shared ritual after the runway.

Lie Sang Bong

Lie Sang Bong reaffirmed his status as one of Korea’s most visionary designers. Known for architectural cuts and artistic prints, the SS26 collection featured airy organza dresses, geometric silhouettes and bold color-blocking. The balance of tradition and futurism once again highlighted Lie’s ability to position Seoul on the global map of high-concept fashion.

Hannah Shin

Hannah Shin brought one of the most talked about moments of the week, when a model walked the runway in a robotic exoskeleton WalkON Suit, merging technology and couture. The show centered around glittery glamour, dresses in shimmering fabrics and sculptural silhouettes.

Ceeann

Ceeann offered an elevated everyday wardrobe, mixing trench coats, bomber jackets and lightweight outerwear in pastel and nude shades. Standout lime green pieces added an unexpected punch. Fabrics with 3D textures and prints made the collection feel chic, refined and ready for both men and women.

Arts De Base

The collection played with pastels and sheer fabrics. Fluid silhouettes and layered details gave a dreamy yet modern edge. The palette turned darker with deep grays and black, silhouettes became sharper and the styling more defined. Even with the mood change, the pieces stayed wearable, balancing romantic lightness with an edge of urban sophistication.The show captured a mood of quiet elegance, a reminder that simplicity can still feel imaginative and forward looking.

Daily Mirror

Daily Mirror focused on sharp contrasts, from oversized coats to tailored minis. The palette stayed in black, white, and neutrals with hints of shimmer and shades of blue. Uniform-inspired styling with knee-high socks and loafers gave the collection a sleek, modern edge.

Closing Note

What stood out this season was how clearly Seoul has found its voice. The collections balanced tradition with progress, craft with concept, intimacy with spectacle. We saw shimmering glamour, architectural tailoring and quiet elegance share the same stage, each moment adding to the city’s narrative. After twenty five years, Seoul Fashion Week is not asking for recognition, it is declaring its place as a force shaping the global future of fashion.
