The theme for this runway is "Crushed, Cast, Constructed"

According to the 26FW Collection page on the Songzio website, the collection was inspired by 20th-century industrial textures, especially coming from John Chamberlain, an abstract impressionist sculptor.

Most of the inspiration is shown through similar impressions on the surface of the clothing and the structure of the outfits. By altering traditional tailoring proportions, this collection adds volume (found in the last collection), compresses fabric, and opts to leave frayed edges, runs in knit fabric, and utilizes unbalanced silhouettes to form more sculptural shapes.

To form his outfit, their base was a coat with decorative gathering and ruching around the waistline and pants with decorative slashes along the sides, with matching black brogue loafers

To add the distinctive Songzio shape and texture, they gave him a leather collar noted as "oily"- likely due to its sheen-, elbow-length gloves that flare around the elbow and seem to have a cinching cord, and an accessory that is added underneath the coat labeled as "horsehair-black", so I can only infer that it is likely a belt that has 2 hanging bunches or loose horsehair that we can see peeking out behind his legs.

That tape marks his spot as 5th in the walking order.

More runway outfit photos, including Seonghwa's, are available on this Songzio post

This is Seonghwa's 2nd time walking for Songzio after his debut at the Isabel Marant F/W 2025 show

There's an interesting modeling note for this runway: whether it's the makeup highlighting his eyes or not, Seonghwa's gaze towards the end of the runway/cameras is expected, but the almost-glare is very striking, especially when he finishes the show during the final walk-on right before the designer makes their appearance.

The Creative Director of Songzio is Jay Songzio himself

Held at: Pont Alexandre III bridge

Last notes: The opportunities that Songzio has given Seonghwa as a model and ambassador are generous and make me expect more from them in terms of future involvement in the brand. I can see Seonghwa utilizing more pieces from the S/S "Polyptych" campaign through gifted pieces or maybe in his own closet. I am very intrigued by their blend of futuristic design elements, and I'm happy to see the direction that 2026 has taken us. I look forward to more from Seonghwa!!

Notes:

Alexandre Mattiussi has been the founder and Creative Director of Ami Paris since 2011

The theme: "An exploration of archetypal masculine tailoring, resulting in a collection that is at once deeply sentimental and entirely fresh." according to this post

Extra details and notes: "The palette grounded in neutral tones, with vibrant pops of color like ruby red, ochre, and cobalt blue... The silhouette is liberated, withadecisive shift toward fluidity and lightness... Shapes are softened, deconstructed,: semi-lined,or completely unlined." (Ami Paris Instagram, 6.25.26)

Overall:

The styling team gave Jongho a bag, and unfortunately, he either was not coached or got too rushed/flustered, and it wasn't very visible in most of the official media we have of him

This brand is a very safe choice for Jongho, much like how Thom Browne is to Yunho. Both brands have that clean sense of color palette and the simple iconography that represents most of their recognizable pieces. Considering the heatwave that has disrupted most of the styling this PFW, I know Jongho had problems keeping the styling 100% true to the vision since he had to button the dark blue outer shirt since he was concerned about sweat showing on his inner shirt. If I had a choice to change anything or add, I would want to add a pop of red to his outfit, whether it be a scarf tied around his collar - or, better, his wrist- or a belt.

His top seems to be derivative of these 2 looks from their 2026 Resort Collection: #29 & 31, respectively

Wooyoung

Regarding the Vogue photoshoot- we can see his arm tatoo!!! 🌹 for all of us!

It's really interesting that he has a whole photoshoot with the AD this time and got to spend a lot of his time the day before with him. Considering Wooyoung's favorability towards brands like Courrèges and Chrome Hearts and how he styles them, this was an awesome brand pairing.

Posing: I'm not sure of the reasoning, but in the official press photos, Wooyoung is waving or showing only his left hand. His right arm, specifically his forearm, is hidden behind his back, seemingly in order to hide his tattoo. It's a focal point in his Vogue photoshoot, so it doesn't seem to be a big problem, but considering how he has a sleeveless top on, I was definitely questioning it.

The general silhouette this time is more tailored and lengthened. Wooyoung has an all-black outfit that is sleeveless and has no visual breaks throughout. The v-neck of his top is what directs our eyes downwards, and if he were to wear this on stage instead, I suspect there would be jewelry of some kind to add interest to his neck/chest.

Notes

Nicolas di Felice has been the Artistic Director since 2020

His general approach to Courrèges is more modern and urban; his 2026 Resort Collection was shown through selfies that the models had taken themselves

His Instagram post for the event!

His jacket on the Bottega Veneta website!

I.N. Styling:

I am somewhat surprised he didn't have a bag this time since he doesn't have a complete runway outfit.

Like Chan, they're styling him with the jacket open, but I.N's styling is more casual with light-wash jeans, platform boots, and a scoop-neck top under his jacket

I'm glad he has a structured tuxedo jacket on because it holds up well to his other outfit elements well since it's stiff and provides the contrast needed as the "dressy" element. If I would change something, I wish his top was a bit more embellished or layered in some way.

Sunglasses!! I cheer!! (And I always cheer for slicked-hair styling)

Notes:

Bottega Veneta has changed creative directors to Louise Trotter after Matthieu Blazy's appointment as Chanel's Artistic Director last December

This is Trotter's first collection since her appointment
