Concorde Paris presents its Spring Summer 2027 collection, “Quand reviendras-tu?” (“When Will You Return?”)exploring the emotions surrounding departure, separation and reunion. Designer Alexandre Belzacq draws inspiration from the experiences of travellers, translating moments of anticipation, uncertainty and human connection into sculptural silhouettes and adaptable garments. The collection marks the second chapter in the development of the Parisian fashion label and was presented on October 3, 2026 in Paris.
Belzacq founded Concorde Paris around his fascination with travel and movement. Raised in a family connected to the aviation industry, he originally studied engineering and hoped to become a pilot. His creative interests eventually led him toward fashion, where he began exploring the relationship between clothing, transportation and personal experience.
For Spring Summer 2027, the designer focuses on the people who pass through airports, railway stations and other spaces of transit. He observes the brief encounters that happen between strangers, the emotions of leaving someone behind and the anticipation of seeing them again. These situations inform a collection that uses clothing to communicate feelings associated with distance and attachment. “At first, I was simply living my own stories in these places. Then I began observing the people around me, watching them wait, run, meet again or say goodbye,” Belzacq explains.
The collection develops these ideas through exaggerated volumes, unusual proportions and modular construction. Knots emerge as a recurring design element, representing the connections between individuals. Rope details introduce references to maritime travel, while adjustable garments allow wearers to change their silhouettes through tying, separating and reconnecting individual components.
Traditional wardrobe pieces undergo structural changes throughout the collection. Shirts, trousers and jackets feature architectural proportions, while fluid shapes introduce movement. Deep blue, grey, black and white dominate the colour palette, directing attention toward construction, texture and form.
Belzacq references the shapes of boat hulls, ship masts, aircraft wings, sails and railway carriages, adapting their forms into sculptural designs. His engineering background informs this exploration of technical structures and their possibilities within fashion.
Material selection introduces further variety. Denim and crochet appear alongside luxury deadstock fabrics, reflecting the label’s interest in using existing materials. Martha Torbey contributes handmade crochet elements, bringing texture and intricate detailing to the collection.
Concorde Paris also collaborates with French clothing brand Marcel Knitwearincorporating its familiar undershirts and tank tops into the seasonal offering. Selected pieces feature rope embroidery, connecting the partnership with Belzacq’s wider exploration of travel and maritime references.
Belzacq continues developing Concorde Paris around movement, personal memories and human relationships. The Spring Summer 2027 collection examines the emotional experiences of travel, using clothing to explore the connections people maintain across distances.
