Spring · Summer 2026
The first collection.
A small set of pieces for warm days and slow evenings — soft cottons, light poplins, and quiet details.
SS26 is where CORLIÉN & KAEL begins. A short collection, made carefully and in small numbers, drawn from one simple question — what does a European summer wardrobe really need?
The answer became a tight edit of essentials. Light shirts for warm afternoons, soft tees that wash well, shorts cut a little longer, a waffle henley for cool mornings, a striped poplin set for somewhere between the city and the sea.
The Pieces
Foundations, refined.
Most of the collection is built around two fabrics — heavy combed cotton for the basics, and lightweight poplin for the open-collar pieces. Both are chosen for the way they soften with wear and hold their shape through repeated wash.
The henleys come in waffle knit and ribbed jersey, with three buttons and tone-on-tone stitching. The chinos and canvas shorts are cut in a relaxed, mid-rise silhouette. The camp collar shirt — the quiet signature of the collection — carries a small embroidered horse on the chest, with a single line of text stitched beneath it.
The Palette
Five tones for warm light.
The colours were chosen for how they sit together rather than how they stand out — a quiet palette built for cross-season wear, layered or alone.
Made by
One designer. One atelier.
Every piece in SS26 was produced in a small Istanbul atelier under direct designer supervision. Fabrics were chosen by hand, prototypes revised in person, and final production followed daily. There is no anonymous supply chain behind this collection — only people, time, and care.
A short edit, made slowly.
Worn often, kept long.
