After three years away, Zadig&Voltaire returned to Paris Fashion Week for Fall/Winter 2026. The show also unveiled the debut collection of newly appointed creative director Dan Sablon, ushering in a fresh chapter for the house. Photographer Danielle Sinai Shvadron captured an intimate look behind the scenes as the brand stepped back into the spotlight.

Ahead of the anticipated show at the Palais Galliera, we got a glimpse of how Sablon’s vision subtly reframes Zadig&Voltaire’s codes for a new era. The co-ed collection leaned into a strong 2000s energy.

My initial thought with this collection was to reidentify the staples that have been there since the beginning and then mix them with new characters,” Sablon explained while walking us through the collection the following day.

That archival spirit is also what continues to make Zadig&Voltaire resonate across generations. The brand’s laid-back take on rock style speaks to Gen X, who grew up with its original references, while millennials are drawn to its balance of luxury and everyday wearability. For Gen Z, the label’s undone styling, vintage-tinged edge and gender-fluid ease align with a growing appetite for individuality and authenticity.
