In a move that bolsters the standing of Arabian fashion on the global stage, internationally renowned Saudi designer Qasem Al-Qasem has unveiled his highly anticipated “Shalky Capsule 2026” collection. Representing a significant milestone for the Shalky fashion house, this collection breaks away from traditional molds to introduce a new visual language that merges geometric abstraction with the latest fabric manufacturing technologies.
The Philosophy of Structural Elegance
The “Capsule 2026” collection transcends fleeting fashion trends to embrace a philosophy of “Structural Elegance.” Al-Qasem drew inspiration from the dialogue between the architecture of futuristic cities and the fluidity of sand dunes, transforming Shalky pieces into a visual bridge connecting the heritage of the past with the ambitions of Vision 2026. The collection features meticulously crafted draping techniques and prominent shoulders, providing a powerful presence that balances classical modesty with modern boldness.
Technical Innovation in Materials and Colors
The collection showcases an unprecedented use of technical innovation, featuring 3D embroidery integrated with metallic fibers alongside the development of a signature “Matte Shalky Silk,” aligning with global fashion trends. The color palette reflects a futuristic spirit through metallic gradients, icy gray, and deep blue, punctuated by warm tones of the desert landscape to emphasize identity and roots.
Ramadan and Eid with an Exceptional “Couture” Touch
Despite its futuristic character, “Capsule 2026” is designed to meet the aspirations of sophisticated women for the upcoming social seasons, specifically for the Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr occasions of 2026. The collection offers “royal” options that transcend the ordinary, where spirituality meets the glamour of modernity, lending evening looks an exceptional character that combines luxury with comfort.
