For the Spring-Summer 2026 season, which marks the 90th anniversary of Maison Michel, Priscilla Royer, Artistic Director of the House, invites us to explore and celebrate all the nuances of contemporary femininity in two acts.
Between innocent softness and bold assertiveness, between natural elegance and perfectly mastered seduction, the collection offers a stylistic narrative in which each piece embodies a facet of the modern woman, while highlighting the Houses's incomparable expertise.
The first chapter of this collection draws inspiration from a natural, radiant femininity with fine straw materials woven with exceptional delicacy. Themes focus on revisited uniforms and nautical attire: light stripes, delicate lingerie touches, and heart motifs bring rhythm and charm to the creations.
Small summer hats evoke a seaside look with materials such as cotton, denim and lightweight tweed, recalling the timeless allure of coastal getaways.
Motifs from our childhood - polka dots, tiny roses and hearts – breathe springtime freshness and gentle nostalgia. Everything in the collection evokes a delicate and sensitive elegance.
In striking contrast, the second act of the collection celebrates confident, charismatic and magnetic femininity. Moving through a bold palette of gold, intense red and deep black, femininity becomes an intentional, masterful game where the desire to seduce is fully revealed and expressed.
Large capeline hats become true sculptural statements with their wide brims, creating a dramatic and assertive silhouette. Refined and daring, they are adorned with colorful ribbons or leather bands, adding a touch of sophistication and modernity.
Straw, always crafted with unprecedented finesse, becomes a precious material, like a jewel.
These pieces embody boldness and sensuality, turning the hat into a statement, an emblem of confidence and grace, in the image of the woman who wears it.
