Behind the Seams

With its Resort 2026 collection Behind the Seams, Talbot Runhof invites us to look past the glamour – toward where true magic happens: in the craftsmanship.

The collection celebrates precision, sophistication, and creativity, showing that modern luxury is more than pure aesthetics. At its heart is the brand’s signature evening and cocktailwear – elegant, feminine, and light. A range of silhouettes, materials, and techniques gives the idea of “glamour” new depth and nuance. Flowing lines meet architecturally sculpted forms, tradition meets innovation.

Materials

This season puts materials front and center. Elaborately crafted jacquards – featuring fine metallic accents or opulent patterns – become dramatic evening pieces defined by clean lines and sweeping volume. Figure-hugging silhouettes contrast with wide, swinging midi skirts and airy balloon cuts. Elbow-length puff sleeves with shirt collars add modern accents. More pared-back designs with slim lines form a counterpoint. Fluid crêpe appears as an elegant gown with a laced neckline or as a minimalist jumpsuit that blends nonchalance and refinement.

Innovation

Innovation is evident both in the art of tailoring and in the approach to the product itself. A sporty shirt dress is transformed into an evening version made of delicate lace, artfully embroidered with hundreds of sequins – an unexpected fusion of the everyday and the glamorous.

Craftmanship

Rustling taffeta becomes a modern ball gown with an opulent bow detail. The atelier’s artistry shows in precise draping: no fold is accidental, every line follows a clear design concept. Draping defines silhouettes or evolves into new cut elements, such as flowing sleeve shapes.

Comfort

Glamour and comfort are not contradictions. Innovative stretch fabrics with a luxurious feel offer freedom of movement and lightness. Metallic voile with an animal print, as well as printed, flowing tulle, impress with modern constructions that skim the body and carry effortlessly through long evenings.

The color palette ranges from soft blush and radiant sky blue to classic black.
