For Fall/Winter 2026, agnès b. presented a collection rooted in heritage and restraint. Eclectic yet timeless, the silhouettes are relaxed; instead of sharp tailoring, the pieces feel easy and adaptable to the everyday rush. The brand builds a narrative around texture, proportion, and attitude, presenting a wardrobe that’s thoughtful and mature. The focus is placed on construction and materiality, allowing silhouettes and fabrics to do the talking.
Proportions are explored in subtle ways, creating an interesting interplay between the classic and the modern. The colour palette features earthy tones with pops of burgundy, forest green, and indigo, while touches of pastel create a soothing effect. Texture plays a central role throughout: leather trousers and jackets contrast with knits, wool, and cotton, adding depth across the looks.
Layering is not obvious; instead, it feels like a natural outcome of pieces that belong together. Knitwear over shirts, scarves tucked into coats, and lightweight jackets worn with outerwear feel intentional and refined rather than excessive. Some looks convey an intellectual sensibility through tailored jackets, cardigans, and leather accessories, while others are more relaxed and casual, evoking off-duty moments and practical city life.
The collection introduces a softer version of masculinity, one that is not exaggerated; instead, it is seen as fluid and confident, without the need to perform it through specific codes. The show embodies a refined vision of modern menswear, with its emphasis on craftsmanship, layering, and subtle elegance, offering a wardrobe that’s both contemporary and enduring.
