Simkhai

Jan 2026

Simkhai leans into a refined, architectural narrative for their S/S 26 lookbook, masterfully blending high-fashion sensibilities with a restrained, monochromatic palette. Captured through the lens of photographer Davit Giorgadze, the campaign exudes a sense of editorial minimalism that allows the tactile quality of the collection to take center stage. Under the creative guidance of art director Malena De La Torre Suarez, the imagery juxtaposes the organic, sculptural lines of the garments against stark, white-walled backdrops and contrasting tufted leather surfaces. The visual storytelling relies on soft, natural light to accentuate the suede textures and fluid cowl necklines worn by models Anna Robinson and Xinyue Guo, while sharp, studio-lit macro shots emphasize the intricate craftsmanship of the brand’s signature accessories. Stylist Camilla Nickerson reinforces this cohesive aesthetic by curating a look that feels both contemporary and timeless, enhanced by clean hair styling from Holli Smith and a neutral makeup palette by Diane Kendal. Every frame, from the lifestyle-oriented portraits to the graphic product close-ups, emphasizes a harmonious balance of form and texture. By avoiding unnecessary distractions, the lookbook successfully positions Simkhai’s latest season as an exercise in precise, intentional design where every fold, heel shape, and iridescent finish serves a deliberate purpose in building the brand’s sophisticated identity.
