The luxury label Egonlab presented its spring/summer collection 2026 on Wednesday as part of the official program of the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode (FHCM) at the Paris Fashion Week. Thirty -four silhouettes reminded of the rich history of Breton’s clothing and testified to a comprehensive research in the archives of the region.
Needle tip and porcelain shirt
“The collection is rooted in the Breton heritage and combines the tradition of the coast with urban elegance,” says the notes for the Egonlab show. For the founders Florentin Glémarec and Kévin Nompeix, reference to Brittany is a tribute to their grandfather René Glémarec.
The Breton region was also shown in details such as a bagpipe sac that was worn by several models under the arm, or in pointed hinges that were reminiscent of Breton costumes. Likewise, it was the top pieces on the heads of the models, similar to the needle tip from the municipality of Plougastel-Daoulas.
It was also a sleeveless top, whose golden embroidery resembled those of a Bigouden costume that is kept in the Department Archives of the Finistère.
The latitudes reminded of traditional Breton men’s shirts or the broad, crossed towels that were previously worn by women.
The last look was a trumpe-l’eil piece made of porcelain, which was created in collaboration with the artist Flávio Juán Núñez. It was a wide, white short -sleeved shirt.
The FS26 collection also offered the luxury label the opportunity to launch several collaborations. The program included Havaianas toe separators, longchamp bags and bearbrick accessories.
The wealth of the Breton clothing culture has several times the focus of collections of luxury brands. One of the most memorable is perhaps that of French designer Jean Paul Gaultier for autumn/winter 2015, whose fashion show began with the sound of a fog horn and the shouting of seagulls, as the magazine Vogue reported. Among other things, references were found there on Bigouden head cover and typical white embroidery.
