Isabel Sanchis presented her Summer 2026 collection at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Madrid, quickly creating a calm yet beautiful atmosphere. As the lights dimmed and opera music played, the excitement in the room grew.
The show began with outfits in soft greens and light pinks. At first, light fabrics met sharp tailoring, and Sanchiz’s skill in balancing loose shapes with control was clear. Wide sleeves, flared skirts, and shaped hats were the main focus in this collection, but nothing felt too much. Throughout the show, detailed hand-drawn prints, some inspired by ash trees, others by simple flowers, added a quiet artistic touch.

Sanchis’ love for contrast was clear: strong shapes met flowing movement, and tradition mixed with bold ideas. This feeling of opposites ran through the whole collection. For example, small pleats shone with every step, while more fitted pieces stayed soft.
These looks became sharper, with shaped forms, geometric patterns, 3D-printed flower pieces, and even clothes made from printed silicone. Also, using new materials showed Sanchis’ modern way of designing, mixing craft with technology smoothly. Her skill in combining simple styles with small details made the collection feel both classic and new.

It felt like stepping into a world where nature and technology coexist in harmony, echoing the themes woven throughout the collection. Sanchis’ dedication to sustainability and innovation was evident, signaling a direction for fashion that values both beauty and responsibility.
