QASIMI
A CELEBRATION OF HYBRID CULTURES, MEMORY, AND DIALOGUE
SPRING/SUMMER 2026
For its Spring Summer 26 collection, QASIMI unveils a thoughtful and introspective body of work under the creative direction of Hoor Al-Qasimi. This marks the brand’s 10th anniversary and the eleventh collection under Hoor’s guidance, drawing inspiration from the late founder, Khalid Al Qasimi.
In honor of his words and worldview, the collection explores themes of dialogue, cross-cultural exchange, and duality. Spring Summer 26 embodies this vision by blending silhouettes, mate-rials, and ideas drawn from both geographies and histories
The collection remains grounded in QASIMI’s signature palette— rich browns, beige, black, and sandy hues — while introducing contrasting materials and layered constructions. In womenswear, hybrid tailoring comes through in structured modular jackets and hybrids between trouser-skirts.
Memory nylon — a key fabric this season — features prominently jackets and trousers. It’s a material that records creases on its surface, which gradually fade over time, serving as a metaphor for lived experiences and the impermanence of memory. This fabric also echoes Khalid Al Qasimi’s early work with distressed and tactile materials.
Layering plays a vital role throughout the collection, with shirts stacked, mirroring the accumulation of lived experience. QASIMI also returns to its utilitarian roots, introducing modular garments with pocket-laden structures and reviving early check motifs from its archives, reinterpreted with a contemporary edge. Continuing the brand’s commitment to working seasonally with artists, this season sees a collaboration with Lebanese, Lon-don-based artist Dala Nasser. Known for her process-driven practice and connection to place, Nasser’s influence is reflected in the collection’s raw edges, loose threads, and doodle stitching embroidery — all echoing the marks and residues central to her work with ancient Lebanese sites. The poetic, tactile language of decay is present in frayed hems and distressed finishings.
Accessories further develop the narrative of transformation and hybridity — crocheted keychains take the imagined form of fused animals, representing blended origins and evolving forms.
The collection also incorporates surplus materials, promoting a circular model of luxury that thoughtfully reengages with existing resources and their histories.
QASIMI Spring Summer 26 is a meditation on place, transformation, and coexistence — a tribute to ten years of vision and to Khalid Al Qasimi’s enduring creative spirit.
“The collaboration with Qasimi on the Spring/Summer2026 collection has been one of the most inspiring experiences an artist could hope for. Working through the language of impermanence in my own practice, it was deeply moving to see the team come up with exciting ways to channel my art, crafting garments that echo the transient nature of memory, bearing the marks of time and transformation, into wearable art works.”
