Kolor Spring Summer 2027 begins with a simple idea: we live beside people we may never fully understand. Titled Aliens, the collection turns that feeling into the season’s defining idea. It rejects the image of the alien as a creature from another galaxy and places the word much closer to daily life. The alien can be a neighbor, a family member, a lover, or the self.
SPRING SUMMER 2027
This idea gives the collection a direct human focus. Kolor uses the word “alien” to describe the distance people often feel between one another, even when they want to connect. We try to understand others, yet we also recognize that each person carries parts that remain out of reach. That gap shapes how we look, speak, dress, and respond to the world around us.
From Earth, differences in nationality, race, culture, and language can feel large. From beyond the Earth, those differences may appear much smaller. Kolor uses that imagined view to question how people divide themselves and how easily distance can grow from familiar markers of identity.
The designer brings a personal history to the idea. He was born in Japan and studied fashion in Belgium, a path that shaped his work through more than one cultural setting. That experience feeds the season’s central question: how can people create together when they come from different places, speak through different references, and carry different ways of seeing?
For Spring Summer 2027, the brand worked with Taiwanese band MONG TONG on music, Greece based artist Klaus Schmidt on textile patterns, and Chinese born, Japan based painter Yang Bo on graphics. Each collaborator brings a distinct cultural and creative position into the project. The collection takes shape through their contributions, creating a shared work built from separate perspectives.
The collection does not present difference as something to solve. It treats difference as a condition people must face honestly. We may never fully understand one another, yet we can still create together. If every person can appear alien to someone else, then no one stands outside that condition. The word becomes less distant and more intimate. It describes the feeling of looking at others from afar, and the feeling of becoming unfamiliar to oneself.
Kolor Spring Summer 2027 frames humanity through distance, culture, and shared creation. It looks at the people closest to us and asks why they can still feel unknowable. It looks at the world from beyond Earth and asks whether our differences carry the weight we give them.
