Camperlab, led by Creative Director Achilles Ion Gabriel, stages its Fall Winter 2026 show at Maison de la Mutualité, the Art Deco theatre in Paris’s 5th arrondissement. The collection draws from memories of polar winters in Lapland and reflects Achilles’ childhood in northern Finland. The setting places the audience inside a blizzard that suggests solitude shaped by severe conditions, interrupted by moments of calm and clarity.
The presentation introduces around twenty windswept figures. An unassuming cast of models, talents, and street-cast individuals forms a community shaped by cold. Sub-zero conditions mark their appearance. Some figures dress for basic tasks such as gathering wood to heat a cottage. Others prepare for extended exposure to polar nights.
Destroyed finishes appear across garments, supported by a wide range of treatments and washes. The collection maintains a personal tone while settling into a quiet visual coherence that feels unplanned yet resolved. The palette relies on cold, worn shades of brown, white, grey, and light blue. Subtle injections of aurora-inspired pink and petrol introduce controlled flashes of color.
Weathered white ostrich-embossed leathers carry a sense of exposure and wear. Heavy waxed cottons reinforce protection against the elements. Long-pile wools add volume and texture. Signature brush-off leathers return with a raw surface quality. Treated and classic CAMPERLAB printed denim pieces extend the vocabulary through varied finishes.
TERROSO boots appear suited for whiteout terrain and provide a grounded counterpoint to the drifting silhouettes. ESCANDALO heeled loafers and boots extend the line with elongated forms that stretch the proportions of the body. CANICULA leather sneakers introduce a raw construction built on 3D-printed outsoles with interlinked cables, bringing a technical edge into the lineup.
The signature LAUKKU and LUNSSI bags shrink into downsized versions that retain their recognizable forms. A new belt enters the collection, defined by a large distorted metal buckle that reads as functional and direct.
Sound shapes the emotional register of the show. An original soundscape composed by Pandora’s Jukebox surrounds the audience with a sense of cold immersion. The atmosphere deepens as the presentation closes with a live performance by Annahstasia, also known as Enuke.
As the blizzard briefly gives way to greener ground, the show reveals a preview of a collaboration with Mallorca’s football team, RCD Mallorca. The capsule reflects an ongoing partnership rooted in local ties. It introduces classic jersey elements, grass-stained denim jeans, and a traditional wool football scarf transformed into a silky, salon-ready piece.
