Maison Rami Kadi Unveils SS26 Couture Collection “Elementa” Inspired by the Forces of Nature

Maison Rami Kadi presented its Spring Summer 2026 couture collection, Elementa, in Meise, Belgium, unveiling a body of work shaped by the elemental forces of nature. Drawing from fire, water, earth, wind, and life, the collection explores how couture can express movement, transformation, and material intensity through form, surface, and craftsmanship.

The collection unfolds through silhouettes that balance structure and fluidity. Sculptural forms are softened by layered constructions and panels that move organically with the body, allowing each garment to shift between strength and lightness. Rather than rigidly assigning one element to one look, the collection allows elements to overlap and coexist — sometimes within a single piece, sometimes across a sequence — reflecting the way natural systems resist fixed boundaries.

Embroidery plays a central role in shaping the visual language of Elementa. Instead of decorative motifs, surfaces are built through abstract compositions using sequins, beads, crystals, metallic threads, silk, and raffia. These materials are integrated directly into the garments, forming textured planes that read like wearable artworks rather than applied embellishment.

The presentation took place inside the glasshouse of Meise Botanical Garden, where filtered daylight interacted with the garments’ surfaces. The colour palette moved through warm mineral tones, cool blues, soft neutrals, and vivid greens, allowing light and transparency to enhance the textures and sculptural lines of the couture pieces. Framed by glass and living greenery, the setting reinforced the dialogue between nature and craftsmanship that defines the collection.

“Rather than assigning each element to a single dress, the collection allows them to intersect — sometimes within one garment, sometimes across a sequence — reflecting the way nature itself resists fixed boundaries,” explains Rami Kadi. The dresses were conceived as abstract compositions applied to architectural silhouettes, where material, form, and movement evolve together.

With Elementa, Maison Rami Kadi continues to push couture toward a more conceptual, material-driven language — one where embroidery becomes structure, nature becomes narrative, and garments operate as evolving sculptural forms.
