The Shining Blue
2026 Pre-Fall Denim
Denim has never asked to be beautiful, only useful. Casual. Street. Workwear. Nothing more. This Pre-Fall, Fabrique turned to a few designers to find out what else it could be.
Before the crystals
We wanted this collection to hold up in the ways that actually matter. Soft-washed cotton, breathable through every season, comfortable enough that you forget you're wearing it.
Some pieces woven through with jacquard, some bonded with sheer burnout mesh, different builds, but the same intention behind all of them: something that keeps its shape long after the shine's had its moment.
This season, denim carries something it was never built to hold: Light.
01 After Glow
Katiuscia Valente went back into fashion's own archive: bourgeois-style pieces that have existed for decades but haven't been touched recently, and reworked them with a lighter, more minimal hand. She calls it "an archival bourgeois aesthetic, reimagined."
Jin Kim's line has a cool, city edge to it: sharp, clean-cut lines and colors kept deliberately understated. Her pieces are structured enough to hold their shape, but still comfortable enough to live in.
Hanna Yoo calls her line "Living Modern in Nature," inspired by Georgia O'Keeffe, the American painter who spent seventy years living and working largely alone in the New Mexico desert. It's not about recreating a specific outfit of hers, but an attitude: wanting to live close to nature without disappearing into it. The cut reflects that directly: loose and roomy enough yet remains lightweight.
02 After Hours
A darker, black-toned version of Jin Kim's line pairs here with Angelo Lapiccirella's, which is built around what he calls golden hour, that stretch of evening after work ends, when a sharp suit comes off, and something more relaxed goes on.
His pieces are covered in crystals sewn on by hand, one at a time, rather than stuck on by machine.
Stone by Stone
The craftsmanship. Crystal placement across this category is heat-set, worked in by temperature and pressure rather than glue, so a piece can carry hundreds of stones without easily falling loose.
03 In Bloom
Steven Oo named his line "Lueur du Calice", French for "the glow of the calyx."
A calyx is the small green base at the bottom of a flower that holds the petals up before they open. It's easy to miss, but without it, nothing blooms. That's the idea behind the line: quiet strength that holds everything else up without needing credit for it.
A technique called Burnout (also known as devoré), in which parts of the fabric are chemically treated to create a see-through, textured pattern. Here it is used to trace floral shapes right into the denim.
The inside matters just as much
The seams from our denim collection get the same care throughout. Precise, evenly spaced, the inside is built with the same attention as the outside. Loose thread weakens a seam over time. Precise thread holds a garment's shape wear after wear.
The second looks toward English tailoring instead: a woven diamond-pattern jacquard, quiet and structured.
Every piece here shines its own way, because every designer here does too. That's the whole idea behind working with 400 designers globally from different cultures: different stories, different perspectives, pieces that still mean something years from now.
