A.P.C. and fragment Design Unveil SS26 Collaboration Collection
A.P.C. and fragment design introduce a Spring/Summer 2026 collaborative capsule collection titled “A.P.C. FRGMT INTERACTION #30.” The project continues an ongoing partnership between the two labels and explores a shared design direction for the season. The collection is informed by the Supports/Surfaces art movement from France during the late 1960s to early 1970s, which serves as a conceptual reference point for the release.
The new SS26 capsule includes a range of apparel and accessory pieces developed through the collaboration, combining both brands’ established visual languages. A.P.C.’s minimalist Parisian design approach is paired with fragment design’s graphic-driven streetwear influence. The collection includes co-branded elements and season-specific garments designed for Spring/Summer 2026. Release information states that the collection will launch on May 19 and May 20, 2026 through selected channels and retail locations.
