CHÉ Studios Finds a New Rhythm for AW26

CHÉ Studios is changing pace for AW26. Titled A New Rhythm, the collection marks the London label’s move beyond its resort roots and into a more expansive autumn/winter menswear wardrobe.

Jazz provides the reference point, less as a literal theme than as an approach to movement, contrast and texture. The result is a collection that exchanges resort’s sun-washed ease for darker tones, tactile fabrics and more considered layering, without losing CHÉ’s relaxed approach to dressing.

Knitwear becomes more important this season. The Crew Alpaca Jumper and Dalton Polo introduce softness and depth through relatively understated silhouettes, while seasonal colour gives the pieces a stronger autumn/winter identity. The Redford Shirt and Drawstring Trouser bring more structure into the wardrobe, creating a balance between relaxed and refined dressing.

That contrast is central to AW26. Fluid shapes sit alongside sharper elements, while softer fabrics are offset by deeper textures and finishes. It gives the collection enough flexibility to move from daytime dressing into evening without requiring a complete change of wardrobe.

The campaign was shot across some of CHÉ’s favourite London locations, bringing the collection back to the city that informs the brand. It also gives the season a more urban context, appropriate for a label expanding its proposition beyond holiday dressing.

AW26 represents a significant development for CHÉ Studios: not a departure from the ease that has defined the brand, but an evolution of it into a more layered, textural and seasonally relevant menswear offering.
