[White Mountaineering] 2026 AW Paris Men's Fashion Week Report

White Mountaineering is a brand founded in 2006 by designer Yosuke Aizawa. Based on the concept that “all fields where clothes are worn are outdoor,” the brand develops a unique worldview that balances fashion and functionality, creating garments rooted in outdoor wear while maintaining high performance suitable for everyday urban life.

The theme of the Autumn/Winter 2026 collection—Aizawa’s final collection for the brand—is “Post De Stijl.” Departing from the brand’s signature original textiles, the collection features entirely simple, one-tone looks. By intentionally embracing simplicity, the design of each product is brought to the forefront, sharpening and refining the core identity of the brand.

Makeup:
A semi-matte complexion with minimal coverage is paired with smoky eyeshadow blended both above and below the eyes to create a dark, intense gaze.
The lips are thoroughly moisturized, then finished with a beige-toned color to add a muted, subdued nuance.

Hair:
Hair is scrunch-dried to create a moist, textured finish.
Definition is added mainly around the face, enhancing the strength and expressiveness of the look as it peeks out from beneath the hood.
