Palomo presents Fall Winter 2026, Limbo, as an exploration of the in-between. The collection inhabits a shifting moment where past identities dissolve and the future remains undefined. It considers transformation as an active state. Former personas and places recede into memory while a new direction begins to form.
FALL WINTER 2026
The collection centers on presence and the ritual of getting dressed. It treats dressing as an act of pleasure and intention. Clothing functions as a tool for self-affirmation and, at times, resistance. Garments reveal identity instead of concealing it. The act of dressing becomes a declaration of self-possession. Limbo insists on occupying one’s identity fully and without apology.
Ambiguity shapes the tone of the season. Melancholy carries strength. Opulence exposes vulnerability. Romance holds tension. These elements coexist without resolution, creating a charged atmosphere throughout the collection. Defiance anchors the message. The brand pursues radical self-discovery and accepts uncertainty as part of growth. Limbo frames the unknown as an active condition that demands courage and conviction.
Fall Winter 2026 marks a decisive moment for the house as it reaches ten years and relocates to Madrid. The move introduces a new social and urban perspective. Life in a larger city sharpens observation and informs design choices. This environment shapes a more grounded and contemporary Palomo man and woman.
Printed silks and lustrous satins appear alongside British wools such as houndstooth and Prince of Wales check. These fabrics structure the collection’s visual direction. Structured knits expand the material range and experiment with asymmetrical silhouettes that approach architectural form. The knits introduce volume and shape.
Handcrafted silk fringe produced in Cantillana, Sevilla, runs throughout the collection as a recurring element. The fringe appears on accessories, dresses, and shirts, creating continuity across looks.
Prints reinterpret the traditional Manila shawl. Pixelation updates the motif and filters it through a contemporary lens. The technique alters the floral imagery and introduces a digital inflection. Leather flowers in grey, white, and brown appear as brooches and serve as a recurring icon in Alejandro’s work. These elements attach to garments and shoes developed in collaboration with Castellanos for the season.
Limbo rejects inertia. It defines the present as active and urgent. The collection claims the in-between as a site of self-definition. Transformation unfolds now, in real time, through fabric, silhouette, and gesture.
