Marimekko at Paris Fashion Week: SS26

Published

on

Marimekko has always been about prints, big, bold, unapologetic. For Spring/Summer 2026 in Paris, the Finnish brand proved those patterns don’t just belong in archives or on home goods; they can slip right into a modern closet without missing a beat.

The collection opened with the classics: oversized dots, swirling graphics, sharp stripes. What made them land this season was the cut. A black and white dot trench coat looked instantly wearable, the kind of piece you’d throw over jeans on a rainy day and suddenly feel pulled together. Red and white maxi dresses skimmed the floor but still felt approachable, styled with flat shoes instead of stilettos. Even the wide leg trousers in bold prints were tailored cleanly enough to feel like something you could actually live in.

The color story was just as fearless. Turquoise with brown, scarlet with lime green, lavender against kelly green: pairings that shouldn’t work but somehow did. Instead of overwhelming, the mix looked sharp because the shapes were kept simple. It was a reminder that you don’t need to mute your wardrobe to make it practical.

Accessories followed the same rule. Big shaggy clutches, patterned sneakers, and chunky shell necklaces gave the looks personality without tipping into costume. You could easily see the furry blue clutch becoming that one statement piece you carry all season, or the sneakers grounding a work outfit on casual Friday.

For a label so tied to its archive, the risk is always feeling retro. But creative director Rebekka Bay sidestepped that by treating the house codes as tools rather than relics. A striped romper felt like easy summer dressing, while a dot covered coat read like a long term investment piece.

That balance is what made the show click. Instead of simply showcasing prints, Marimekko demonstrated how they can live in everyday wardrobes. SS26 showed that bold graphics are not intimidating when paired with sharp cuts and simple styling. They come across as versatile, fun, and ready to move straight from runway to real life.

Zendaya has teamed up again with On, introducing a new chapter in their partnership. The team unveiled their first co-created collection that includes both footwear and apparel. This project marks a shift from earlier collaborations, with Zendaya involved in the design process.

Last year, the actress worked with On, in the release of the Cloudzone Moon sneaker, with support from her longtime stylist, Law Roach. The collaboration focused on footwear design and campaign visuals.

But this recent release introduced a new silhouette, the Cloudnova Moon, alongside a matching clothing line. This collection focuses on combining technical sportswear elements with everyday styling, using clean silhouettes, different textures, and muted color choices.

In a press statement, the actress shared, “It’s been so much fun to collaborate with Law and the On team on these essentials, we wanted to create pieces that feel versatile and easy to wear, styles that move with you across different moments. We started with the idea of making people feel confident and effortless, and we built everything out from there. Working with Spike Jonze brought that vision to life in a really special way, the world he created gave it a whole new dimension.”

The campaign is supported by a short film by Academy Award-winning director Spike Jonze, highlighting the creative process behind the collaboration. Titled Shape of Dreams, the film presents Zendaya’s imagined design space, “The Dream Lab” where ideas evolve into final products through a staged visual progression. It was shot by photographer Sean Thomas.

The collection will be available in four colorways: Wolf Alloy, Dew Spruce, Fig, and Black Ink, set to be released on April 16, 2026, through On and selected retailers, both in-store and online.

Hair was styled by Adir Abergel in a structured updo with loose lengths and feathered bangs. Makeup was done by Mary Wiles, featuring a neutral base and with brown smoky eyes.

Her recent red carpet appearances follow a similar direction. In 2026, she wore a nude-toned illusion gown by Gucci at the A Family Affair premiere, and a sheer floral appliqué look by Dolce & Gabbana at the Spellbound premiere, both using sheer and structured elements.

Streep and Wintour are not interested in trading places in real life. Wintour dismissed the idea of acting, noting she has no skills for it and would struggle with tasks such as singing, dancing, or cooking. Streep, on the other hand, said she would not want to take on the responsibilities of running a large organization like Vogue, including managing its operations and editorial responsibilities.

Streep’s character, Miranda Priestly, the editor-in-chief of the fictional magazine Runway, was inspired by Wintour. The 2006 film was based on the 2003 novel by Lauren Weisberger.
