Études Studio Spring Summer 2027 looks at the city as a place that never stays still. Presented on June 23, 2026, in the Galerie Basse at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, Collection No.29 continues the brand’s dialogue between art, clothing and environment. This season, the studio turns toward urban space, reading the city through marks, interventions, movement and surfaces altered over time.
SPRING SUMMER 2027
Titled Short Term Eternity, the collection takes its name from the Art Cards of Gordon Matta Clark, the artist and trained architect known for his radical interventions in buildings facing demolition or abandonment. His work questioned permanence, structure and the ways architecture changes before it disappears. Études Studio uses that thinking as a framework for the season, treating garments as surfaces that can carry traces of use, construction and decay.
The collection moves between tailoring and workwear with a clear sense of purpose. Structured overcoats, softened jackets and precise ensembles create a wardrobe that feels functional without becoming rigid. Zippers, technical pockets and removable elements allow the clothes to shift in volume and layering. These details connect the collection to utility, yet they also support its larger idea of change. Nothing feels completely fixed.
Materials deepen that reading. Tailoring appears in textured blends of virgin wool and viscose, linen and washed silk, while shirts in Tencel and organic cotton bring a lighter touch. Denim receives some of the strongest surface treatments, appearing through mismatched combinations, overdyeing, acid and stone washes, spray applications and resin finishes. These processes give the clothes a weathered quality, as if the city had left marks directly on fabric.
Knitwear adds further texture through cotton nylon blends, jacquards, bouclé wool and open knit constructions. Across the collection, surfaces feel layered, worn and reworked. Études Studio does not use texture only for visual interest. It turns material treatment into a way of thinking about time, movement and urban memory.
The palette stays close to the built environment. Chalky beiges, greige sands, metallic browns and brick reds recall façades, plaster, industrial materials and old walls. Dusty khaki, charcoal and slate tones create a darker rhythm, while deep aubergine gives the collection a sharper accent. Sprayed color applications and faded wallpaper like patterns bring the sense of walls marked by passing gestures.
The Gordon Matta Clark collaboration appears through archival photographs and text fragments, which enter the wardrobe as both image and language. His Art Cards appear across a shirt and trouser ensemble and also resonate through the show’s soundtrack. Rather than treating the artist as a simple reference point, Études Studio uses his ideas to shape the collection’s structure and mood.
For the runway, artist David Douard created a site specific installation made from screen printed vertical blinds. The curtains formed a temporary environment that opened and closed around the models, changing the viewer’s perception of space and clothing. This setting sharpened the collection’s central theme: the city as something unstable, layered and constantly rewritten.
Études Studio lets art and garment function inform each other. Short Term Eternity does not turn urban decay into decoration. It studies how clothing can absorb the logic of shifting architecture, marked surfaces and temporary gestures, creating a wardrobe built for movement through a city in transition.
