Tony Ward illuminates the Spring-Summer 2026 Couture collection with "Facets of Light"

February 1.

In a world where everything seems fragmented, Tony Ward chooses unity. For his Spring/Summer 2026 Couture collection, presented in Paris, the Lebanese designer explores light as an absolute language, encompassing matter, movement, and architecture. Entitled Facets of Light , this new couture offering is part of a quest for harmony, where each silhouette becomes a prism revealing a controlled, precise, and profoundly timeless beauty.

In Tony Ward's work, light is never merely decorative. It is deliberate, structured, and directed. It fractures only to recompose itself. Surfaces become faceted, volumes are architecturally defined, and lines gain depth. What seemed multifaceted coalesces into a coherent, almost meditative vision. Sewing then becomes a space of construction, a terrain where rigor and poetry coexist in perfect harmony.

The silhouettes, sculpted with almost architectural precision, play on layering and transparency. Crystals, stones, and faceted elements are meticulously arranged to capture and redirect light, revealing a new dimension with every movement. Each creation seems animated, alive, designed to engage in a dialogue with space and the viewer.

The color palette follows this same logic of fluidity. Crystalline tones evolve into delicate pastels and metallic finishes, punctuated by subtle contrasts. The colors never impose themselves: they accompany the light, extend it, and enhance it. The result: silhouettes that radiate without excess, where elegance is expressed through restraint and control.

In a natural extension of this reflection on brilliance and craftsmanship, Tony Ward also unveils an exclusive collaboration with the luxury accessories brand Tyler Ellis. Together, they revisit the iconic Perry and Eloise minaudières in a limited edition. These exceptional pieces blend Tony Ward's luminous couture embroidery with Tyler Ellis's Italian artisanal excellence, blurring the lines between accessory, art object, and collector's item.

With Facets of Light , Tony Ward presents a collection that rejects fragmentation. Here, light doesn't divide; it defines. It unites materials, volumes, and intentions in a comprehensive, coherent, and profoundly contemporary vision. This is couture that doesn't seek immediate impact but rather embraces the long term—the timelessness of enduring elegance, absolute precision, and a beauty that never goes out of style.
