IM MEN Spring/Summer 2026
by Gabriel Córdoba Acosta
Shoji Kamoda is a Japanese ceramist, known for being a pioneer in contemporary pottery in his country, and now also for having left a legacy of works that inspire the IM MEN design team when creating the Spring/Summer 2026 collection.
“DANCING TEXTURE” is the title given to the proposal, presented at the Fondation Cartier in Paris, during its respective fashion week. In this space, minimalist in style and full of vegetation, it was possible to appreciate the freshness and avant-garde, so necessary nowadays, that the firm brought to the French capital. These two elements were represented, not only in the way the line was shown – in which the performance of the dancers who moved softly but deliberately caught the eye – but also and of course in the looks, notable for their silhouettes, rich fabrics and textures, and the colour palette (neutral and vibrant) they were made in.
Fortunately, the colour black was barely present, only on small occasions. IM MEN imagines these seasons in a positive and fun way, bringing back the colour block trend and the floral prints, that in this case are really groundbreaking for spring, as they are not the typical ones we are used to, since they come from Kamoda’s legacy; and art and movement, two important issues that gave complexity and interest to the garments, see as examples look number 1 and look number 18.
Rounding out the clothes are accessories like bucket-style hats with circular shapes in the visor area, oversized bags, and footwear, newly arriving together with ASICS SportStyle, as both have collaborated on the design that makes up this project: “ASICS Stripes”. This is characterised by having been developed to improve structural resistance and fit, by having reimagined the lateral lines that the brand’s shoes generally have, and finally by the colours available.
Fashion and art come together again on the runway, as do freshness and the avant-garde, thanks to IM MEN, demonstrating that they are all closely linked.
