Simkhai Spring 2026 Collection
For his Spring 2026 collection, Jonathan Simkhai reimagined the essence of California’s beaches through a more sophisticated lens, transforming the carefree spirit of surf and skate culture into a versatile wardrobe designed for both day and night. “Fashion is meant to uplift, to create happiness and joy,” the designer explained ahead of the show, setting the tone for what would follow.
The opening looks radiated sun-drenched ease: lace dresses styled as sarongs, nylon board shorts, and knit separates embellished with crochet layered over bandeau tops captured the brightness of endless summer days. These designs nodded to his 2013 skate-and-surf-inspired collection — created when the brand was still in its infancy with limited resources — now reinterpreted with luxurious fabrics, refined finishes, and precise construction that highlight Simkhai’s growth and maturity.
As the show progressed, the mood shifted toward a more urban and nocturnal vibe. Standout pieces included navy leather blazers, sun-faded trousers, crisp white satin bomber jackets, and deconstructed denim, paired with sheer ribbed tanks, pearlized shell mini dresses, and looks designed to sparkle around a beach bonfire. The effect was a blend of bohemian freedom and polished glamour.
Accessories anchored the getaway narrative: fashion-forward flip-flops, artisanal net bags, and shell accents enhanced the coastal mood, while oversized totes and sleek backpacks added practicality for the modern, on-the-go woman.
