Sohee Park knows how to build a world around a theme. For spring 2026, inspiration struck during a quiet moment back home in South Korea, where she found herself drinking tea and looking out through a window at the shifting landscape beyond. That interplay between land and sky became the foundation for a richly detailed couture collection, imagined as a series of scenes framed through glass.
A white peacock appeared on the runway alongside one model, its presence woven throughout the collection in both literal and abstract ways. Scalloped peplum skirts echoed the curve of feathers, while layers of two-tone lace and tulle created movement and depth. Feather-like embroideries, resembling fish scales, appeared in shades of purple and white, reinforcing the avian motif.
The range of techniques on display was striking. Graphic, heavily textured embroideries depicted oversized wisteria, while traditional ink painting — a nod to Park’s fine art background — adorned a voluminous pink silk organza cape and matching dress. Sculptural brass elements, crafted by Kirk Maxson and Armando Farfan Jr., extended from gowns inspired by bright pink cherry blossoms and green bamboo, blurring the line between fashion and wearable art.
Now based in London, Park translated the window itself onto the female form, using the body as a frame for imagined landscapes. Despite the elaborate craftsmanship, the collection was unafraid of sensuality. A translucent bamboo dress plunged to the waist, with the model covering her chest with her hands, while a nude corset sat firmly below the bust, layered over sheer mesh. Elsewhere, an oversized draped organza stole and matching skirt appeared modest at first glance, though nothing but skin lay beneath.
Bridal continued to emerge as an important category for the house. One wedding gown was entirely sheer except for its embroidery, while a second fully embraced the window concept: its long train divided into casement-like panels, each section revealing a different tone-on-tone scene.
Coco Rocha returned to the Miss Sohee runway, appearing in two looks. Drawing on her background as a performer, she leaned into the theatricality of the theme, preening confidently down the runway and bringing Park’s vision vividly to life.
