Études Studio has always treated fashion as something more than just clothes. For their Spring/Summer 2026 collection, presented at Paris’ Palais de Tokyo, creative directors Aurélien Arbet and Jérémie Egry continue their quiet conversation between art and utility. Titled Surroundings, the collection takes inspiration from Land Art, not just as a reference, but as a way of thinking. These garments are like landscapes, shaped by use, marked by time, carrying the traces of movement and memory.
The clothes walk a careful line between urban polish and outdoor readiness. Hooded bombers, work suits with detachable tool belts, and lightweight overcoats form the core of the collection, each piece reconsidered with a refined touch. Some fit close, like a second skin; others loosen into easy, practical shapes. Workwear details mix with softer tailoring, like dual-weight coats and airy cuts. Everything is held together by utilitarian touches: exposed zippers, technical pockets, topstitching that outlines the body without restricting it.
The fabrics tell their own story. Lightweight cotton poplin, open-knit mohair, ripstop, and sun-bleached denim are chosen for texture and resilience. Many are organic or recycled, and many bear intentional imperfections (cracks, fading, corrosion) as if they’ve already lived a life. The colors feel pulled from nature and the artist’s studio alike: chalky whites, ochres, charcoal, zinc-blues, deep bark browns. Nothing is too loud. Everything feels weathered, real.
Words appear throughout, stitched or sketched onto bandanas, scarves, and tees: Alternatives are Possible, Second Nature, Structure of Feeling. These aren’t slogans so much as quiet reminders, clothing as a language, fashion as part of a larger dialogue with the world.
