Songzio Spring Summer 2026 collection opens with tension and control, shaped under the conceptual framework of Polyptych, a composition of separate panels that form a larger structure only when seen together. The designer applies this approach to clothing: each piece functions as a fragment, disassembled and reassembled into a broader system. Garments refuse to settle into linear time, instead operating across eras, forms, and materials.
The collection dismantles familiar shapes. Traditional menswear frameworks fall apart through cuts that distort balance and symmetry. Songzio uses the hanbok and Western armor not as sources of nostalgia but as raw elements to be reconfigured. Sliced apart, layered, and disrupted, these historical garments remain visible, but no longer whole. Instead of hiding construction, Songzio pushes it forward, seams remain exposed, stitched like reminders.
Volume drives the silhouettes. Fabric moves away from the body in unexpected directions, avoiding traditional fit. Instead of shaping the figure, garments hover or jut, interrupting conventional proportions. Korean art theory informs this approach, specifically, the idea that empty space can hold as much presence as the object itself. Songzio applies that logic to fashion: where there is less fabric, the air becomes part of the design.
Movement defines structure. Bias cuts and long vertical lines create motion through disruption. Asymmetric hems and disjointed sleeves appear unfinished but carry intent. Panels do not resolve into cohesion, they cut across each other, creating rhythm through fracture. Transparency adds another layer, letting the inner structure become part of the outer shape.
Color stays subdued with purpose. Earth tones in muted shades of brown, grey, and deep green serve as the foundation. Against them, Songzio introduces sharp hits of vermilion and yellow, their shimmer recalling glitch effects or digital interruption. These metallic hues disrupt the stillness without overwhelming it, acting as brief signals inside a grounded palette.

Fabrics extend this contrast. Songzio builds from organic materials, washed linen, boiled wool, and cotton, that carry texture and weight. He sets them against glossy finishes: holographic vinyl, metallic tweed, and polished leather. The contrast isn’t for decoration. It draws out tension between origin and surface, touch and reflection. Each textile speaks from a different place, yet sits inside the same construction.
