SPRING SUMMER 2026

THE COLLECTION

For Spring Summer 2026, Erdem looks to the extraordinary figure of Hélène Smith, the late 19th-century Swiss medium who believed herself to have lived other lives: as a member of the French court, as an Indian princess, and as a traveller among Martian skies.

The collection takes inspiration from these three incarnations, reflecting the many facets of femininity - expressive, fluid, and never confined to a single narrative.

MUSE

For this season, Erdem looks to the extraordinary figure of Hélène Smith, the late 19th-century Swiss medium. Smith’s visions were dreamlike and often discredited, yet they reveal a woman continually inventing and reinventing herself through her art.


Her story speaks of multiplicity: monarch, mystic, Martian - identities overlapping, fractured, and reassembled at the edge of imagination.
