Arthur Arbesser Fall 2026 Ready-to-Wear: Kintsugi-Inspired Upcycling

Arthur Arbesser embraced a see-now, buy-now model for his fall 2026 ready-to-wear line, staying true to his previous collections. He explained that this year signifies a major change for both him and his brand, prompting him to redesign garments solely from archived fabrics. The team spent weeks sorting through materials to reduce waste creatively. When there wasn’t enough fabric for full pieces, they crafted accessories instead, like a scarf influenced by children’s party themes. The Revival collection showcased prints from past seasons, featuring a baroque design from fall 2022 and colorful checks from spring 2025, all dyed at a small Milan shop. During the show, Arbesser's friend Marcela Gutiérrez painted on a large canvas while classical music played, leading Arbesser to joke about the ambiance feeling like a horror film.
