On a drowsy summer afternoon, between the pages of untouched books and the hum of cicadas, Sean Suen found inspiration for his Spring/Summer 2026 collection. It begins with a daydream, a boy drifting between sleep and wakefulness, carried by Debussy’s Rêverie into a world where time stretches and meaning softens. That fleeting, weightless sensation (neither fully here nor there) becomes the foundation for clothes that move like music.

The collection mirrors the haze of half-sleep. Colors bleed and shift, refusing to stay within lines. Fabrics layer and textures collide in ways that feel intuitive rather than calculated. Draping folds capture the lazy sprawl of a summer nap, while unexpected cuts and seams act like sudden awakenings, gentle jolts back to consciousness.

Nothing here follows strict logic. Silhouettes mutate, suggesting a conversation between body and imagination. The designs reject rigid structure, instead embracing the wandering, nonlinear flow of a dream. To wear these pieces is to slip into that same in-between space, where emotion and existence weave together.

Even the show’s location (Paris’ historic Cujas Library) reinforces the theme. The rental fees will fund new books, tying the collection’s dreamlike vision to the tangible world of ideas.
