For byFANG Couture Spring Summer 2026, Fang Yang presents a language between Paris and Shanghai shaped by transformation, precision, and balance. Her practice grows from an early engagement with zhezhi, the traditional art of paper folding, which continues to guide her approach to volume, structure, and movement.
COUTURE COLLECTIONS
At byFANG, folding operates as a structural principle. Fabric progresses from flatness into form through carefully staged tensions and releases. Each fold carries purpose, directing how material holds, opens, or shifts in relation to the body. This method produces shapes that retain clarity while remaining fluid in motion. The house defines its identity through this ongoing exchange between rigor and lightness, reflecting a Franco-Chinese foundation developed in Paris and Shanghai by Fang Yang together with entrepreneur Grégoire Caillol.
Couture Spring Summer 2026 extends this established vocabulary with renewed focus and refinement. Fang Yang introduces new origami-inspired forms while tightening her approach to construction. Silhouettes gain intricacy without losing control, as each line, fold, and plane contributes to a coherent whole.
Light blue tones enter the collection, introducing a sense of freshness and luminosity alongside the house’s established black, white, and red. These shades animate the silhouettes and support their dimensional qualities, enhancing depth while preserving the house’s architectural focus.
Throughout the collection, Fang Yang maintains a controlled emotional register. The garments communicate through proportion, tension, and release, allowing expression to arise from material behavior. This approach positions couture as a discipline rooted in process, where precision enables expression without overt display.
Couture Spring Summer 2026 continues byFANG’s exploration of modern couture through exacting design and thoughtful restraint. The collection brings together cultural lineage and contemporary practice through disciplined construction and quiet intensity.
