Filippa K presents its SS26 Pre-Collection through a lookbook that draws on the casual structure of nautical style. Creative Lead Anna Teurnell reinterprets marinière elements with a contemporary hand, anchoring the collection in stripped-down tailoring, soft draping, and unexpected detailing. The collection proposes a modular wardrobe built for both movement and variation, clothing designed to shift easily between professional and personal hours.
The pre-collection introduces a relaxed take on prep, infused with sport references and grounded in utility. Pinstripes and cotton twill sit beside technical fabric and crinkled viscose. Outerwear like parkas, field jackets, and car coats meet draped dresses and tailored separates.
Teurnell reflects on her seasonal process by naming the marinière stripe as a recurring reference. “When spring arrives, I often get in the mood for marinière stripes. Pieces that bring freshness and colour,” she notes. The SS26 pre-collection uses that motif as a thread rather than a theme, allowing it to appear through striped tops, a silk scarf, or knitted accents, while letting silhouettes and textiles hold the rest of the space.
Color defines the collection’s balance between practicality and lift. Core tones of black, navy, and beige establish a base, while citrus greens and deep military shades add weight. Soft pinks bring in contrast, and vivid reds and oranges provide sharp punctuation. That palette stretches across tailoring, knitwear, outerwear, and accessories, shaping the collection’s structure.
Filippa K focuses on details that shift garments from functional to refined without exaggeration. High slits, braided knits, and topstitched edges introduce variation. Cashmere linings and leather finishes add material contrast. Draped eveningwear and modular jewellery extend the clothing’s range into softer, more expressive territory, though nothing feels ornamental.
The brand filters each category through its own structure. Tailoring returns in wide silhouettes cut from cotton, linen, and light wool blends. Pinstriped wool appears in relaxed suiting, a car coat, and track-inspired separates. For denim, the collection revisits Filippa K’s earlier womenswear shapes with straight-leg jeans designed for men. Outerwear introduces new textures, suede coach jackets, brushed wool coats, and lightweight technical layers shift the material language while keeping the silhouettes grounded.
Accessories work as sharp visual interruptions. Two-tone leather belts, color-blocked heels, and modular bags appear throughout the lookbook, alternating between previous and upcoming designs. The footwear, slingback flats, pointed pumps, leather sandals, offers contrast through shape and finish, maintaining the collection’s movement between grounded and elevated dressing.
Rather than build each look around a fixed statement, the collection offers a wardrobe with room for change. The lookbook avoids rigid formulas in favor of combinations that stretch or reframe expectations. A pinstriped vest pairs with soft trousers and a wrap belt. A semi-sheer blouse and slip skirt contrast with a structured coat. A swimsuit sits under suede, a striped sweater layers over track trousers, and technical cotton meets knit polos.
