Ashi Studio: Armored Fragility for F/W 26-27 | Paris Haute Couture Week

Discover how historical romance and dark surrealism collide in the fall/winter 2026-27 haute couture show of Ashi Studio; watch the full show on FashionTV! Celebrating twenty years of the Maison, Mohammed Ashi unveiled “A Different Skin”- a hauntingly poetic Haute Couture fall/winter 2026–2027 collection that transforms fashion into a surreal exploration of identity, armor, and transformation. Drawing inspiration from Kafka’s Metamorphosis, Salvador Dalí’s legendary masquerade balls, and Victorian court elegance, the show positioned the body as a site of dramatic evolution. Sculptural corsetry with exaggerated hips, towering Elizabethan collars, and carapace-like bodices met delicate, distressed lace, tarnished gold accents, and feather-trimmed edges. Materials blurred the senses: leather took on the sheen of polished ceramic, shimmery beadwork mimicked crystal glass, and a Venetian mirror sewn onto the back of a gown directly confronted the audience’s perspective. Through an earthy palette of bone, ivory, smoke, and deep velvet black, Ashi Studio delivered a masterclass in armored fragility, proving that true haute couture lies in the art of revealing who we are behind the mask.
