"Okay, babes, Ray Chu just dragged us all to Taiwan's midnight shores, sprinkled Swarovski all over the sand, and whispered: resilience, but make it hot. SS26 wasn't a show; it was a fever dream of glowing plankton, sexy tailoring, and gossip served with a capital T. First up: the suiting. Shoulders so sharp you could slice through the patriarchy. Waists cinched tighter than your bestie's Finsta bio. Entire looks crystallised in Swarovski, blinding the front row like disco-ball armour for oceanic warriors."
"Then Chu said: Let's get weird with textiles. Jackets that smell like mint?? T-shirts made from crystalline ice plants that literally cool your skin?? Excuse me, apparently we're doing climate crisis couture now and it slaps. Sustainable, sensual, and a little freaky, exactly how we like it.The colour story? VIVID. Fire-reds like flares on a midnight beach. Cornflower blues dripping ocean energy. Lemon yellow that screamed summer rave until dawn. Prints designed with Peng Cong zoomed in and out of glowing organisms, think macro, micro, cosmic, chaotic."
"And then a splash of essential eyewear with Victor Wong. Architectural W frames that hold tiny interchangeable flowers. Why? Because Chu said your face deserves accessories too, hun. Oh, and did we mention TENGA's back? Yep, Japan's kings of sex toys re-teamed with Chu for a collab that screamed Spill the T. Clothes printed with the slogan, echoing wave textures from TENGA's cups, bringing sex positivity, humour, and a wink of filth straight onto the runway."
Ray Chu SS26 combined sculpted suiting with intense embellishment and coastal themes. Broad shoulders, cinched waists, and Swarovski encrustations created a disco-armour aesthetic. Experimental textiles included mint-scented jackets and crystalline ice-plant T-shirts engineered to cool the skin, linking craft to climate-conscious innovation. A vivid palette ranged from fire-red to cornflower blue and lemon yellow, while prints zoomed into glowing organisms with Peng Cong. Victor Wong eyewear featured architectural W frames with tiny interchangeable flowers. A TENGA collaboration introduced slogan prints and wave textures that foregrounded sex positivity and irreverent humor alongside tailoring and ocean lore.
