Retrofête FW26: Parisian nightlife according to Ohad Seroya

For Autumn/Winter 2026, Retrofête presents a collection where nocturnal glamour meets New York swagger. Lace, leather, sequins, and jewel-toned colors create a wardrobe designed for those who know the night is just beginning.

With Ohad Seroya, Retrofête has cultivated a spectacular glamour since its inception, where partying becomes a true attitude. For his Fall/Winter 2026 collection, the designer pushes this vision even further, in a collection imagined somewhere between a grand Parisian hotel, a sophisticated dinner party, and an evening whose end no one truly knows.

The vocabulary is immediately captivating: deep violet, magenta, petrol blue, ochre, chocolate, punctuated with black and metallic highlights. The lace becomes a second skin, the sequins catch every light, and the leather adds that touch of character that creates a silhouette as sophisticated as it is sensual.

Seroya plays primarily on contrasts. A structured jacket over lingerie, a leather trench coat worn as a dress, mini-shorts paired with delicately designed tights, then long and shimmering silhouettes that already seem ready for the last drink of the evening.

Jenny Humphrey, after midnight

It's hard not to think of Gossip Girl. But not of Jenny Humphrey still searching for her place on the Upper East Side. Rather, of a Jenny who has grown up, having traded Brooklyn for a suite in a Parisian luxury hotel and learned, between two glamorous parties, that the true dress code is to never look like you've tried too hard.

At Retrofête, the bows are XXL, the transparencies are deliberate and the dresses seem to have been designed to appear under the flashes.

The collection possesses that rare quality: it makes you want to go out even before you've decided where to go.And if the Retrofête FW26 woman were to have an address, it would probably be one you can't find on Google Maps.

XOXO. See you after midnight.
