QASIMI marks a decade of its evolving narrative with a Spring/Summer 2026 collection that feels less like a seasonal statement and more like a reflection on memory, identity and cultural exchange.
Under the direction of Hoor Al-Qasimi, the collection continues the house’s dialogue between geographies, blending references, materials and silhouettes in a way that feels instinctive rather than constructed. It’s a language QASIMI has refined over time, but here it feels more personal.
There’s a clear sense of continuity with the vision of the late founder Khalid Al Qasimi. His perspective, rooted in duality and cross-cultural conversation, runs quietly through the collection, shaping both its structure and its mood.
This season, that idea is explored through material. Memory nylon becomes a central element, a fabric that holds creases before slowly releasing them, acting as a subtle metaphor for experience and the passage of time. It’s paired with layered constructions, modular tailoring and utilitarian references that build a sense of accumulation rather than completion.
Silhouettes feel fluid. In womenswear, structured jackets are reworked into hybrid forms, while garments blur traditional boundaries through modular elements and adaptable shapes. Elsewhere, the brand revisits its archive, reintroducing check motifs and pocket-led detailing, but with a more restrained, contemporary approach.
The collaboration with Dala Nasser adds another dimension. Known for her work around landscape and material memory, her influence is visible in the collection’s raw edges, loose threads and hand-worked details, gestures that feel less decorative and more process-driven.
There’s also a conscious shift towards circularity. The use of surplus materials reinforces the idea that luxury today is as much about context as it is about creation — where past and present exist in dialogue.
More than anything, QASIMI SS26 feels like a continuation rather than a reset. A collection shaped by time, memory and movement and one that reflects a brand fully aware of where it stands.
