Dino Puljic’s FW26/27 collection, “The Beginning,” begins with instability. A suspended moment before form settles into certainty. Not a collapse, but the tension that exists just before something takes shape.
The collection approaches garments as evolving structures rather than fixed silhouettes. Through draping, suspension, compression, and release, forms shift and reorganize around the body. Structure replaces ornament. Volume carries intention. The body is not dressed for effect. It moves in tension with fabric and gravity, activating the garment through presence.
Materials move between refinement and rawness. Knit reveals texture. Tailoring fractures and softens. Fur and leather confront jersey and silk. These contrasts are not decorative but structural, built into the logic of the garments themselves.
Silhouettes rise, dissolve, and reform. Nothing is static or fully resolved. The wearer participates in the construction of the form. Silhouette emerges through movement rather than prescription.
Transformation is placed at the center of the collection. A process of spiritual and aesthetic metamorphosis. A passage from rigidity to fluidity, from darkness toward clarity. Each line and each fabric becomes a trace of inner change. Transformation here is not embellishment. It is revelation through form.
Each garment becomes a confrontation with the self. The silhouette carries weight, gesture, and consequence.
“The Beginning” is not a debut. It marks a threshold. What remains is presence.
ABOUT DINO PULJIC
Dino Puljic is a Paris-based fashion brand that approaches clothing as a form of contemplation and ritual, establishing a connection between the physical and the spiritual. The practice investigates the relationship between body, movement, and material, creating garments that respond and adapt rather than remain fixed. Each piece functions as a living framework, where tension, release, and spatial dynamics guide form.
The work is defined by a precise and intentional aesthetic that balances structural rigor with subtle vulnerability. Craftsmanship is not ornamental but clarifying, with garments conceived as reflections on identity, self-examination, and the shifting boundaries between inner and outer states. Every line, fold, and proportion carries meaning, positioning clothing as a marker of experience rather than decoration. Silhouettes are not fixed but emerge through interaction, shaped by presence, gravity, and time.
Born in Serbia and based in Paris, Puljic approaches fashion through an ongoing study of transformation. His process begins with the observation of gesture, rhythm, and transitional states, designing garments that move with the body and evolve through wear. Operating between craftsmanship and conceptual exploration, he treats clothing as a medium for awareness, proposing a quiet and deliberate language where form becomes a site of reflection and transformation unfolds as a continuous process.
