Symphony of Light and Legacy by Yanina Couture for S/S 26, Paris Couture | FashionTV | FTV

Step behind the curtain and feel the heartbeat of couture with Maria Lisowski and meet Yulia Yanina, Sienna Machut, Yang Ge, Carol Mendes, and more! Yanina Couture unveiled its spring/summer 2026 collection in a private Parisian salon filled with golden light and hushed anticipation. The atmosphere backstage was electric yet intimate - a controlled chaos of final stitches, last-minute adjustments, and quiet words of encouragement. Models stood in silk robes, breathing deeply while seamstresses knelt at their feet, securing a hem or repositioning a crystal. Hair was swept into elegant updos, makeup kept luminous and natural to let the garments shine. The air smelled faintly of fresh flowers and warm fabric. The collection is about light that lives inside a woman after she has walked through shadow. Yulia Yanina introduces same quiet intensity she brings to every collection. The result was a collection of breathtaking fluidity and technical mastery: weightless organza gowns cascading like waterfalls of light, crystal-embroidered bodices that caught every flicker, and sculptural sleeves that seemed to float independently of the body. Colors moved from soft pearl and champagne through pale gold to deeper sunset hues, each shade chosen to reflect and refract light rather than absorb it.
