Aimé Leon Dore has dropped its Spring/Summer 2026 collection, staying true to its distinct nostalgic vibe while blending sportswear with sophisticated tailoring. Founder Teddy Santis keeps the brand’s familiar style, opting for enhancements over reinvention.
The latest lookbook showcases a mix of technical gear, retro tailoring, and eye-catching knitwear. Notably, two collaborations stand out: New Balance and Alekos Fassianos.
The New Balance partnership evolves into an activewear capsule featuring vibrant cobalt blue and neon green, reminiscent of late ‘90s performance aesthetics. This play on color doesn’t sacrifice ALD’s signature polish. The collection includes a technical running vest with reflective branding and a breathable mesh hoodie designed for layering. It’s all about a coordinated look, rather than just standout pieces, highlighting everyday versatility and sport’s dual role as lifestyle and function.
ALD also drops two new colorways of the racing-inspired RC56 with New Balance: one bold orange and another in a sleek white mesh accented with metallic silver overlays.
Alekos Fassianos’ artwork infuses the collection with cultural depth, paying homage to Santis’ heritage. His mythical figures appear on tailored pieces and graphic tees, adding a notable artistic touch. Expect herringbone fabrics and earth-toned tweeds in structured suits that combine vintage charm and modern elegance, while knitwear arrives in vibrant colors like yellow, red, and turquoise, perfect for layering.
The collaboration with Technics brings a sound twist to the lineup, featuring a beanie, graphic jersey, and a co-branded turntable finished in green with gold accents.
Technical GORE-TEX outerwear rounds things off, balancing the vivid color palette with performance-oriented style. It all ties back to ALD’s core philosophy: blending refinement with practicality.
The Aimé Leon Dore Spring/Summer 2026 collection is now available both in-store and online. For more updates, stay tuned to VZN.
