AREA AW26: The Performance of Self

Fall 2026 collection showcased in Paris Fashion Week. PhotoBook Magazine loved the silk scarves tacked together to lightly drape across the torso. Other details with their ruches and ruffles and beaded fabrics added a stand out mix to the collection.

Nicholas Aburn the fairly new creative director at Area had his debut last season. Formerly a Balenciaga and Tom Ford alum, Nicholas Auburn, this season moves beyond and explores the necessity to be seen.
