The firm, under the creative direction of Franx de Cristal and Xavi García, presented the Fall/Winter 26/27 collection, FE_MALE 009, at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Madrid. The collection occupies a space where gender codes lose their rigidity and the body becomes the central theme. The tension between these forces coexists within a single silhouette reflected in its construction.
The collection stems from a clear idea: within each body resides both firmness and delicacy. This coexistence is transformed into a language. Fetishism appears as an aesthetic resource and as a way to activate power and desire through clothing. Skin takes the center stage, and body modification—tattoos, piercings, scars—is presented as a visible declaration of identity.
On the runway, this relationship between body and pattern translates into a direct presence of skin and silhouettes with precise lines that embrace or structure the torso. Construction defines the collection’s expression, alternating between restraint and exposure. The color palette sustains the intensity of the discourse, and the materials reinforce the fetishistic dimension, from the material itself.
FE_MALE 009 finds its meaning when an idea becomes visible: the body as a conscious surface and the garment as an affirmative gesture.
