Aimé Leon Dore has launched its Spring/Summer 2026 collection, offering a new seasonal lineup of apparel that refines the brand’s signature blend of nostalgia, sport, and tailored sophistication. Instead of pursuing a complete reinvention, founder Teddy Santis focuses on enhancing ALD’s established visual identity.
The Spring/Summer 2026 lookbook presents a complete wardrobe where technical performance pieces blend seamlessly with vintage-inspired tailoring and expressive knitwear. Two key collaborations define the season: New Balance and Alekos Fassianos.
ALD’s partnership with New Balance has evolved into an activewear capsule featuring vibrant cobalt blue and neon green hues. This color palette pays homage to late ’90s performance aesthetics while still reflecting the brand’s polished style. Key pieces in the collection include a technical running vest with reflective branding and a breathable mesh hoodie designed for layering. Coordinated athletic staples complete the capsule, emphasizing a cohesive system of wear rather than isolated statement items. This collaboration continues ALD’s exploration of sport as both a functional and lifestyle choice, blending performance credibility with everyday versatility.
Aimé Leon Dore also introduces two new colorways of its racing-inspired RC56 silhouette with New Balance, now offered in full orange and in white mesh with metallic silver overlays.
Artwork by Greek painter Alekos Fassianos also appears throughout the collection, adding cultural depth while subtly referencing Santis’ heritage through tailored pieces and graphic tees. Fassianos is celebrated for his bold, mythological-inspired figures, and his visual language is defined by expressive color and simplified forms.
Tailoring is still a key element of the collection. The use of herringbone fabrics and earth-toned tweeds in structured suits and blazers blends vintage charm with modern elegance. Knitwear delivers bold seasonal colors with quarter-zips, ribbed sweaters, and mesh constructions, arriving in yellow, periwinkle, red, and turquoise, injecting vibrancy into layered looks.
The collaboration between Technics and ALD introduces a new sonic element to the Spring/Summer 2026 collection. It includes a beanie, a graphic jersey, and, most importantly, a co-branded turntable, which is beautifully finished in green with gold detailing.
Technical GORE-TEX outerwear and accessories counterbalance the brighter palette, grounding the collection with performance-driven sensibility. The contrast reinforces ALD’s core thesis: modern wardrobes must navigate both refinement and utility.
Aimé Leon Dore’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection is now available in-store and on the ALD website. Check out the full lookbook below.
