For the fall-winter 2026 season, the collections presented during Paris Women's Fashion Week paid homage to craftsmanship, originality, and an innovative flourish of emerging talents' debuts. Among the designers who showed their creativity for the first time, Eenk, Litkovskaya, Situationist, CO, and Time are the ones to watch.
EENK
@eenk_official
Eenk was founded in Seoul in 2013 by Hyemee Lee, a designer whose practice spans womenswear, menswear, childrenswear, and fabric design. Her fascination with letterforms, print, and the tactile culture of publishing is rooted in her youth, as her father owned a printing business, an environment that instilled in her a lasting belief in making as a form of inscription/expression, and in the power of objects to carry meaning throughout time. The brand’s name, a variation on the word “Ink,” styled around the recurring Es in her first and last names, is both an homage to her origins and a statement of intent. Eenk's Fall-Winter 2026/27 collection, the fourth chapter in its ongoing Letter Project, is entitled D for Duplicity. But in this instance, duplicity is not a moral failing but rather a sartorial truth: two identities occupy a single form, with neither canceling the other out. Exterior and interior, femininity and masculinity, restraint and expansion, the tension between these is held rather than resolved, and its interest lies precisely in that gap.
LITKOVSKAYA
@litkovska_official
Founded in 2009 by designer Lilia Litkovska, the brand was born from the raw energy of Kyiv and refined in Paris. The brand characteristic is that each garment becomes a canvas for co-creation: the Litkovska label is covered with a strip of white fabric, symbolically leaving space for a new story to begin. Once it leaves the atelier, it no longer belongs to the brand; it becomes a means of self-expression, evolving with its new owner. Each piece is designed to be worn inside out, deconstructed, or reshaped, reflecting the brand's motto: "There is no wrong side." In 2018, Litkovska launched the Artisanal line, the brand’s response to sustainable and responsible fashion. Created from production leftovers, fabrics are sorted, shredded, rewoven, and transformed into new textiles using traditional techniques and ancient looms.
SITUATIONIST
@situationist_official
Situationist was founded by Irakli Rusadze in 2016, in Tbilisi, Georgia. This name finds its roots in the artistic and creative processes used by the French movement of the same name, created in the 60s. Each garment created at the atelier is unique and signed by the seamstress who worked on it. One of the most important things that defines Situationist is the team devoted to the process of making clothes. The FW 26/27 show marks the brand’s 10th anniversary, and at the same time, the official entrance into the PFW show calendar, as the first Georgian brand to be listed among the greatest names in fashion. Strong signature tailoring, beloved shapes, and a new type of everyday wardrobe mixed with traditional Georgian inspirations. The process behind this collection remains deeply collaborative. Most people involved have been working together for years, contributing to the brand's visual and creative identity.
CO
@co
CO stands for collaboration, a principle that has been at the heart of the brand since its inception. Based between Los Angeles, California, and Paris, France, CO embodies a unique blend of tradition and innovation with a minimalist design ethos and a distinctive edge. CO delivers a curated wardrobe that mirrors a woman's multifaceted life, emphasizing practicality without sacrificing style. The designs feature unique silhouettes and premium fabrics, with a commitment to uncompromised elegance and quality.
TIME
@time__1993
Time was born alongside a generation of Korean women who began entering the workforce during a time when gender inequality was still rooted in society. As professional opportunities expanded, Time emerged as a brand that both symbolized and supported these women, offering elegant, purposeful suits and officewear that empowered them in their everyday lives. With the appointment of Jung In Choi as creative director of the global women's collection, the brand's journey into the international fashion scene began. For the FW 26/27 season, Time returns to the 1990s, revisiting its archives, focusing on reinterpreting the past through a contemporary vision.
