PANGAIA has unveiled its Fall/Winter 2026 collection, titled In Motion, marking a defining shift for the purpose-driven collective as it debuts the first full offering from its new Milan design studio under the creative direction of Kevin Grandal. The collection reflects a sharpened focus on clarity, adaptability, and material innovation, described by the brand as an era where “precision and restraint define this new era”, with garments shaped by the realities of movement across contemporary life.
Presented as a complete wardrobe spanning womenswear, menswear, knitwear and activewear, FW26 explores the relationship between body, fabric, and environment. The collection emphasises silhouettes that are “relaxed yet intentional”, where “volumes are controlled, proportions balanced, and garments move with the body, never against it”. This principle extends across fluid dresses, sculptural outerwear, engineered fleece separates, and refined interlock constructions, creating clothing designed to transition naturally between home, work, and travel.
Womenswear introduces softness through draped forms, layered jerseys, and tactile ribbed knits that prioritise comfort without compromising structure. Hoodies with integrated scarves and balloon-hem silhouettes introduce protective layering elements, while capes and dropped-sleeve jackets add dimension and versatility. These pieces reinforce the collection’s emphasis on garments that adapt intuitively, balancing ease with composure.
Menswear anchors the collection through clarity and functional refinement. Relaxed tailoring and engineered jersey constructions evolve familiar forms through proportion and material, delivering pieces that feel grounded yet expressive. The brand notes that “clean silhouettes remain confident and composed”, while richer tones and subtle contrasts establish depth across seasonal layering.
Material innovation remains central to the collection’s identity. Activewear is engineered using next-generation fibres, including EVO® Nylon developed by Fulgar, derived entirely from renewable plant sources, alongside regen™ BIO Max elastane from Hyosung, composed largely of renewable polymer. ECONYL® regenerated nylon provides durability and stretch in sculpted silhouettes such as bootcut leggings, architectural jumpsuits, and sculpted skirts. Performance is further enhanced by PPRMINT™ odour-control technology and cooling finishes developed by HeiQ, ensuring garments remain breathable, dry, and responsive throughout daily wear.
Knitwear forms a foundational layer, reinforcing the collection’s emphasis on comfort and continuity. Ribbed turtlenecks, button-up sets, and second-skin layers are crafted from Responsible Wool Standard Merino, recycled cashmere, and extrafine Merino wool. These fibres provide warmth without weight, aligning with the brand’s intent to create clothing that supports “comfort in motion and at rest”.
Colour plays a defining role in shaping the emotional landscape of FW26. Earth-inspired neutrals establish a calm baseline, while saturated plums, mineral reds, blush tones and diffused yellow introduce warmth and restoration. This palette reflects what the brand describes as a balance between “luminosity and restraint”, mirroring the rhythms of energy and pause that define contemporary living.
Founded in 2019, PANGAIA has positioned itself at the intersection of design, science, and environmental responsibility, operating as a B Corp-certified collective focused on scaling breakthrough material solutions. Its garments, worn by figures including Timothée Chalamet, Bella Hadid, Harry Styles, Tracee Ellis Ross, Justin Bieber, and Sarah Jessica Parker, reflect a commitment to merging technical innovation with cultural relevance.
With Fall/Winter 2026, the brand advances this foundation into a more complete expression of wardrobe design. Modular layers, protective shells, and fluid knit structures emphasise adaptability and continuity, reinforcing the collection’s central proposition that clothing can actively support the rhythms of modern life. As the brand states, FW26 “reimagines clothing as design-led and materially driven, in tune with the rhythms of everyday movement”.
