For Spring/Summer 2026, Chitose Abe delivers a masterful statement of Sacai DNA.

In the quiet intimacy of her Parisian studio, Chitose Abe orchestrates a return to her roots that feels both bold and introspective. The <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/sacai-spring-summer-2022-runway-chitose-abe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sacai</a> Spring/Summer 2026 collection, aptly titled Coming Home, celebrates not so much a place as a language&mdash;the language of transformation, of garments that deconstruct to reveal new truths. For Abe, &ldquo;home&rdquo; is not a physical space but a creative philosophy, one built on the constant motion of hybridization.
Wardrobe archetypes fold, twist, and recompose themselves: a pair of trousers becomes a skirt, a tank top transforms into a blouse, a tuxedo unfurls into sculptural capes. These mutations never feel forced; instead, they emerge with the natural rhythm of evolution, as if the garments themselves were breathing. The designer&rsquo;s touch is firm yet tender&mdash;each look an exploration of how far a silhouette can stretch before becoming something else entirely.
Hybridization, layering, and deliberate distortion remain at the heart of Abe&rsquo;s vocabulary, but this season, she wields them with newfound restraint. Textures collide&mdash;frayed tweed, draped cashmere, oversized denim&mdash;while volumes unfold with a quiet, confident grace.&nbsp;
Beneath it all lies a quiet conviction: &ldquo;At your best, you are love.&rdquo; That sentiment, printed on pieces throughout the lineup, feels like Abe&rsquo;s most accurate statement yet&mdash;a reminder that her complex craftsmanship is an act of care, not chaos.&nbsp;
