For Spring/Summer 2026, Casablanca turns up the volume with a collection inspired by the pulse of house music. Founder Charaf Tajer channels his lifelong passion for the genre into a wardrobe that pays homage not only to its sound, but also to its spirit, ideologies, and cultural legacy.
Born in Chicago’s underground clubs of the 1980s, house music created spaces of freedom and inclusivity, where individuality and community coexisted on the dancefloor. This energy forms the foundation of Casablanca’s new collection. Much like a DJ set, the garments blend contrasting influences—sportswear with tailoring, casual with formal, body-conscious silhouettes with fluid ease—each piece finding harmony through juxtaposition.
Characters from the nightlife scene are reimagined through Casablanca’s lens. The dancer appears in clothes that prioritize movement, where draped shapes meet sleek cuts. The DJ is dressed in jacquards that reinterpret rave iconography, from smiley faces to bold flyer graphics. The “Nightclub Proprietor” takes on effortless tailoring with oversized proportions. Even the brand’s signature motifs are remixed: orchids appear digitally glitched, gradients morph into sound waves. Every look carries the rhythm of the music.
The show itself transformed the American Cathedral in Paris into a sanctuary of sound. With a live set by legendary DJ Louie Vega and a choir accompanying the beats, models and guests were drawn into a shared celebration. The cathedral became a dancefloor, framed as a sacred space where house music’s ethos of love and unity could thrive.
Casablanca’s Spring/Summer 2026 is more than fashion—it is a dedication to house music’s timeless energy and its power to bring people together. In Tajer’s vision, clothes become instruments of rhythm, joy, and connection. This season, Casablanca builds not just a collection, but a house of love.
Summary: Casablanca’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection celebrates house music’s history and ethos, blending tailoring with sportswear and reimagining nightlife archetypes. Presented in the American Cathedral with a live soundtrack by Louie Vega, the show embodied inclusivity, rhythm, and joy—true to house music’s spirit.
