JEANNE FRIOT Spring/Summer 2026
by Felipe Castro
JEANNE FRIOT presented her Spring/Summer 2026 collection, Resistance, during Paris Fashion Week, and left no room for metaphor. As a response to the rise of extremist and pervasive transphobia, while using queer pop icons as a shield, Resistance does a literal adaptation of the colors of the trans pride flag: pastel blue, baby pink and neutral white. Hence, black is also used, referencing the stripe introduced by activist Raquel Willis in 2015, to make Black trans life visible during the first Black Lives Matter wave. Cuts are sharp, while shoulders are broad to reference Friot’s signature armor. Leather biker jackets, wide shorts, denim jackets, and tartan patterns turn queer resistance into something wearable.
Bomber jackets from previous collections are lightened, streamlined, and designed for the urgency of being dressed in the present without pausing. Friot states there is no time for detours, and it’s time to take action immediately. In the collection, the body’s freedom is assisted through the garments, to freely be itself. It flourishes in bold materials, with solid volume, creating signals from each silhouette. T-shirts have two slogans: Trans Lives Matter and Bombing for peace is like fucking for virginity, delivering a clear message of the collection’s core. In collaboration with Both and MAC Cosmetics, and with an original soundtrack by ELOI, the show creates a multisensorial manifesto. Resistance insists on clarity. On action. On making sure the message isn’t lost in aesthetics.
