The NEU_IN Spring/Summer 2026 collection explores how people and objects relate to one another. It looks at the ways we intertwine and drift apart, mirroring the fluid nature of human bonds.

At the heart of the season is a simple, nostalgic symbol: a pair of telephone receivers, each with its own coiled cord. This image captures the rhythm of closeness and distance, evoking the delicate tension that defines relationships. The number two appears repeatedly: two holes, two wisdom teeth, t-shirts for two. Each piece becomes an exercise in balance, combining softness with structure and the familiar with the unexpected.

Curved seams, asymmetric folds, and warped proportions give form to unseen connections. The result is a collection that feels playful yet deliberate, intimate yet refined.

The central figure for the season is “August,” who recalls the awkwardness and curiosity of adolescence, inspired by the designer Kim’s own school years. Through this narrative, everyday emotion is turned into construction and detail. Small moments of connection are transformed into garments with a quiet humor and humanity.
