Campillo presented its Fall Winter 2026 collection on February 14, 2026, at Boom at The Standard, High Line in New York City. Photographer Katie Borrazzo lensed the lead-up to the show exclusively for DSCENE Magazine, recording the preparation and coordination that preceded the runway presentation.
BACKSTAGE
This season places construction at the forefront. Campillo builds each garment around an internal framework that determines posture, proportion, and volume before fabric enters the equation. Textiles operate as surface layers applied over structural foundations. The garments maintain their form through engineered interiors, reinforcing the idea that shape begins from within.
Tailoring continues to define the brand’s vocabulary. Charro-inspired references inform cropped jackets, pronounced shoulders, and elongated trousers. Jewel-toned silks, rich suede, and horse-hair trimmings support the collection’s sculptural direction. These elements return as recurring signatures within the Campillo canon, reinforcing consistency in silhouette and line.
CAMPILLO FW26 LOOKS
The collection considers clothing as an active force in shaping how individuals experience themselves. Garments influence posture and presence, affecting how the body registers in space. Silhouettes adjust scale and contour, guiding perception. Through proportion and structure, Campillo treats dress as a mechanism that alters both physical outline and self-awareness.
Patricio Campillo says the collection rests on the belief that clothing carries transformative power. He explains that garments influence far more than outward appearance; they affect how a person feels within their own body. In his view, identity does not exist as something fixed or static. Instead, it develops through repetition, rehearsal, and conscious selection. Through the act of dressing, individuals sculpt and rediscover themselves, using clothing as a medium through which identity takes shape and gains reinforcement.
The brand renews its collaboration with APICCAPS and Mariano Shoes, a Portuguese footwear company with 80 years of expertise. This second partnership follows a previous capsule that included a classic boot in four colors, leather loafers with artisanal leather soles, and leather belts. Bags that debuted on the runway were produced by Belcinto, a Portuguese leather goods manufacturer known for durable accessories. Materials across footwear and bags emerged through the BioShoes4all project, supporting APICCAPS’ research and advanced material development.
Selected looks incorporated lifestyle adaptations of the Total 90 football boot provided by Nike, reflecting Campillo’s long-standing interest in linking sport and fashion.
