Saul Nash has always blurred the line between sportswear and tailoring, but for Spring/Summer 2027, the London designer sharpens that vision with remarkable confidence.
Presented inside Milan’s historic Forza e Coraggio gymnastics society, STANCE explores masculinity through movement, balancing athletic references with softer, more sensual moments. Compression tops borrow from wrestling singlets, tailoring takes cues from equestrian and fencing uniforms, while lightweight nylons, mesh knits and relaxed outerwear are designed to reveal and conceal the body in equal measure. The result is a wardrobe that feels technical, but never clinical; sensual, but never forced.
What is becoming increasingly interesting about Saul Nash, however, is how strategically he builds his world beyond the clothes themselves. The long-running partnership with lululemon is now deeply woven into the brand’s identity, with select looks from the upcoming SLNSH Summer 2026 collection previewed alongside the main runway. Rather than feeling commercial, the collaboration reinforces Nash’s belief that performance and lifestyle should coexist effortlessly.
That philosophy extends throughout the show. Oakley eyewear adds a futuristic edge, Creed fragrances shape the atmosphere, while Nash’s latest footwear collaboration with APICCAPS and TOWORKFOR introduces a mesh-and-suede boat shoe that feels both sporty and unexpectedly refined. Every partnership feels intentional, anchored by the same language of movement, function and modern masculinity.
In a Milan season filled with competing visions of menswear, Saul Nash offers something refreshingly clear. His clothes aren’t about choosing between tailoring and sportswear, or performance and style. They exist comfortably in the space between — and increasingly, that’s exactly where modern luxury menswear feels most exciting.
