Desigual and M. Christian Lacroix introduce their Spring/Summer 2026 collection, continuing a collaboration that returns season after season. This latest drop leans into the energy of summer—bold prints, vibrant color, and a strong sense of personal expression.
The collection feels playful and expressive, with each piece reflecting Lacroix’s signature mix of artistry and emotion. There’s a clear blend of influences, from cultural references to floral motifs, all brought together in a way that feels fresh and modern.

At its core, the collection brings together two distinct styles. One draws from ethnic and cultural inspiration, reimagined through soft, painterly prints—think hints of Ancient Egyptian scarabs and patterns reminiscent of traditional textiles rendered with the delicacy of watercolor. The other is more graphic and bold, with orchids taking the spotlight in oversized, colorful prints, paired with op-art patterns influenced by Eastern design.
The silhouettes are easy but elevated, made for someone who likes to dress with freedom and personality. You’ll find flowing shirt dresses, maxi dresses, handkerchief skirts, barrel-cut trousers, and graphic tees with contrasting details. There are also standout layering pieces like quilted patchwork jackets, alongside lighter, more delicate designs such as printed tulle dresses and shirts.
Accessories carry the same energy, with printed and quilted bags finished with fringe, plus a selection of scarves that tie the whole collection together through color and pattern.
Material-wise, the focus is on comfort and movement, while also leaning into more conscious choices. The collection uses a mix of BCI cotton, organic cotton, Lenzing™ Lyocell, TENCEL™, recycled polyester, and fluid acetates.
Bold, intuitive, and unapologetic—the collection is built on the idea that fashion is a way to show who you are. Here, color brings energy, prints tell stories, and style becomes a form of freedom.
The Desigual SS26 collection by M. Christian Lacroix is now available at Rustan’s Makati.
