Rebelliously Refined Meryll Rogge SS26
Fri 24 Oct
In the quiet courtyard of Paris’s Musée des Archives Nationales, Belgian designer Meryll Rogge closed Paris Fashion Week with her Spring/Summer 2026 show, a collection that felt both free-spirited and precise.
I wanted to show what ease can look like. Freedom isn’t about chaos, it’s about feeling light.

Inspired by underground muse Cookie Mueller, Rogge explored life’s evolving identities, layering slip dresses, knits, leather, and tweed into expressions of individuality. “I wanted to show what ease can look like,” she said. “Freedom isn’t about chaos, it’s about feeling light.”
Rogge’s signature tailoring softened into movement. Each look breathed. The collection became “a space for freedom… the ultimate luxury is lightness,” she explained.
On the runway, textures and cuts told the story: a shearling jacket met lace-trimmed satin, tuxedo coats draped over embroidered slip dresses, and a satin bias dress under a broad-shouldered blazer captured both motion and defiance in a single gesture. Sporty accents, a blue bomber jacket and super-short shorts, punctuated the collection, while jewellery by Antwerp-based Wouters & Hendrix combined silver hoops, studs, pearls, and pendants into punk-inspired chokers.
By the final walk, SS26 read as an elegant paradox: relaxed yet sharp, rebellious yet refined. Rogge invited wearers to rewrite their own rules, offering a personal conversation where clothes whisper what freedom looks like.
