At midday on September 2, YUME YUME unveiled their “Flora Fantasia” a complete head-to-toe Spring/Summer 2026 collection featuring ready-to-wear, footwear, and more.
YUME YUME creates to inspire - adding a playful touch to your wardrobe by experimenting with shapes and fabrics to give each piece a new dimension. The brand is best known for its artistic and unique footwear designs, and during Amsterdam Fashion Week, YUME YUME is presenting a full collection that includes ready-to-wear, footwear, eyewear, and accessories.
Eva Korsten, co-founder and creative director, drew inspiration for this collection from the humble act of gardening - beginning with a praying mantis she came across. The praying mantis is a wonderful creature with the ability to transform seamlessly into its blooming surroundings. The Spring/Summer 2026 collection features designs that transform flora and fauna into wearable works of art: from headpieces and voluminous skirts to broad-shouldered jackets, oversized gloves, and modern-design footwear.

Flora Fantasia is the world of the praying mantis, where shapes shift, colors burst, and everything is in motion. A feeling of shapes blooming in unexpected ways, flowers shaped by time and the loving hands of gardeners. The mantis watches quietly, a symbol of growth, transformation, and the beauty that comes with tending to new beginnings.
“Lush, layered, untamed - wrapped in warmth and wonder, every piece whispers of metamorphosis, where fantasy and flora intertwine in full bloom.”
The show took place in the garden of the Willet-Holthuysen Museum, where the collection came to life amidst the Parisian parterres de broderie. The garden paths served as the runway, creating an intimate experience where all attendees enjoyed front-row views. The atmosphere was elevated by musical compositions created by Mamiko Motto.
