CFCL presented its Spring Summer 2026 VOL.11 collection in Paris on the final day of Women’s Fashion Week. The show framed clothing as tools for daily life while opening space for reflection, accompanied by a live performance from the chamber ensemble TLF Trio, whose minimalist sound matched the collection’s quiet focus. Photographer Sohom Das documented the atmosphere behind the scenes exclusively for DSCENE Magazine, capturing the moments leading up to the show.
The house continued its philosophy of Knit-ware: Concreteness, guided by Jean Arp’s 1944 words on Concrete Art: “We want to produce like a plant that produces a fruit and not to reproduce.” VOL.11 applied this principle with transparency, rounded forms, and movement.
The POTTERY series returned in translucent dresses referencing Mariko Mori’s sculptures and Émile Gallé’s glasswork. The Overwrapped Pottery design used mint recycled polyester layered with sheer yarn to create a soft glow, while the Pottery Swell dress mixed three recycled polyesters into elastic relief textures that shifted with motion.
Craft processes appeared in hand-dyed cotton from India’s Pandurna region. Artisans in Arimatsu dyed garments in pale pinks and grays, while Milan workshops paired cotton exteriors with recycled polyester interiors for blousons and pants. The Dyeing TC Lucent filtered light through sheer dresses and coordinated sets.
Graphic exploration came through the Terraced Dress, inspired by Sophie Taeuber-Arp’s textiles. Constructivist stripes in recycled polyester, perforated sections, and Lucent variations moved from sheer tops to striped bottoms, with accents of neon yellow energizing the palette. The Fluffy series introduced dresses punctured with holes for knitted tassels wrapped in metallic yarn, producing shimmer and motion.
