The Poetry of Readiness

AREA’s Spring/Summer 2026 was not simply a presentation of garments—it was a manifesto of anticipation. The designs embodied the thrill of getting ready: crystalline embellishments catching the light like confetti that never stops falling, structured silhouettes juxtaposed with fluid draping that evoked both control and surrender.
