Summer 26
Rebel rebel
A historic moment for Aje. A daring examination of form. Adrian Norris and Edwina Forest proudly announce their Paris Fashion Week debut: Summer 26 Rebel Rebel.
Showcased at Palais de Tokyo, Orbe New York, the Summer 26 Runway collection casts a fresh lens over the silhouette. Revising roots. Unravelling history. Regrowing home. Evolving. Elevating. Constructing. Deconstructing. Rebel. Rebel.
THE ARCHIVAL REVIVAL.
The subject is suspended in proportional play, revealing a sequence of wearable sculptures, feminine delicacies and unseen lines. Hazed cascades, hand-pleated movement and dappled dimensions take the space. Volume is released in fresh breadths, alive and lithe, grounded yet open. Folds, tucks and hand-stitched gathers hold each gesture in place, as lengthened flourishes and layered arrays stretch in infinite motion.
Contemporary visions meet house foundations, with appliqué petals, cloudy expansions, and sensate fringing vibrating throughout. Matte rippled ridges, hyper-sheen glints, airy sheer veils
- each texture a story of then and now. Aje handwriting is scripted in lush, layered raffias, ultra-fine crinkles, raw cut hems and tonal topstitching.
THE MOVING MUSUEM.
REBEL. REBEL.
Vegan leather explores innovative finishes, broderie anglaise trails effortless cool denim, sensory knits cocoon and compress, tough biker layers add structural edge. Flying brushed finishes and hand-hammered bead hardware follow, recalculating outfitting with wild refinement.
THE WARDROBE, REWORKED.ELEGANCE, UNDONE.
AJE, IN PURE FORM
Reflective of natural Australian beauty, palette presents hues inspired by the rich and diverse landscape with earth tones, dusted pastels and hyper-pigment pulses. Transparencies and opacities keep conversation, with sunbleached qualities meeting vivid manifestations of hand-painted prints. The artist is honoured in depictions of native flora, intricate blossoms and technical sketched placements over melting ombré. Light flashes in angular qualities, chiselled chromatics and sequin-stacked shine. Ebbing. Flowing. Changing. Scaling. Rebel. Rebel.
