  • Courrèges‘ Pre-SS26 collection uniquely features 18 friends and muses self-shooting the garments via smartphone “mirror” selfies in real Parisian settings
  • Inspired by a social media trend, the designs by Nicolas Di Felice blends tailored athleticism with soft structures, blurring the lines between utility and formality

Under the guidance of Nicolas Di Felice, Courrèges has revealed its Spring/Summer 2026 Men’s Collection and Women’s Pre-Collection, featuring a unique campaign twist. This collection draws inspiration from the popular “Mirrors of Paris” trend on social media, where people take selfies in reflective surfaces around the city.

Rather than using typical studio setups for their lookbooks, Courrèges opted for a more genuine style by asking 18 friends and muses to photograph the collection on actual Parisian streets and homes. These “mirror selfies”, taken with smartphones, provide an unretouched, impromptu view of the clothing in everyday settings, merging elegance with authenticity. The campaign images highlight the collection against mosaic passageways, iron fences, and the city’s worn textures, focusing on movement, light, and self-expression.

The collection showcases Nicola Di Felice’s unique mix of refined athleticism, supple construction, and flexible clothing design. Pivotal pieces effortlessly fuse traditional styles with practicality and formality, transcending both male and female outlines. Innovative trench details emerge as sporty blouson collars, fitted onto skin-tight lycra trousers or scaled down into cut-out top straps.

The collection debuts the “Strip bag” with clever magnetic closures and a concealed zip pocket. Meanwhile, versatile heritage motifs are evident in the 1964 cap sleeve defining floor-length polo dresses, men’s tees, mini-skirts crafted from micro-houndstooth tweed tailored into versatile miniskorts, boxy football jersey-inspired maxi-skirts, and more.

This assemblage carries on Di Felice’s investigation into fashion for today, providing items that blend current trends with the historical roots of Courrèges, showcased via a personal and gritty perspective of self-expression within an urban setting.
