In his Spring–Summer 2026 Couture collection, Rami Al Ali turns reflection into form, unveiling a poetic meditation on transformation titled Fragments in Harmony. Rooted in the philosophy of the 13th-century Persian mystic Rumi, the collection explores the idea that rupture itself carries beauty. What emerges is a vision of couture that feels quietly spiritual, deeply feminine, and resolutely forward-looking.
Movement defines the soul of the collection, with garments designed to breathe and evolve with the body. Silhouettes elongate, dissolve, and softly reassemble, creating a sense of motion that feels almost meditative. Couture here is not static or ceremonial, but alive, inviting the wearer into a slower, more contemplative rhythm.
Contrasts shape every element of the collection’s visual language. Architectural lines are softened by fluid overlays, while fractured motifs are carefully reassembled into harmonious compositions. Transparency and structure exist side by side, allowing the eye to trace the journey from separation to unity across each look.
The colour palette unfolds with a luminous restraint, beginning in tones of ivory, alabaster, pale pink and soft peach. As the collection progresses, shades deepen into powdered rose, warm beige, sage green and delicate blue. Accents of gold, pearl, champagne and lilac add gentle radiance, while coral and amber introduce subtle warmth.
Craftsmanship plays a central narrative role, with embroidery acting as both ornament and meaning. Motifs inspired by broken glass and mosaic patterns are reconstructed through metallic threads, beads and crystals. Lace and organza are layered to create lightness and depth, while visible seams celebrate the act of assembly and the beauty of repair.
Sound becomes an extension of couture through a collaboration with Persian composer Shora Karimi, who created an original score for the presentation. Inspired by verses from Rumi’s Mathnawi, the music deepens the emotional register of the collection. Real instruments and live vocals transform the show into a fully immersive sensory experience.
With Fragments in Harmony, Rami Al Ali offers a couture collection that embraces contrast as a path to unity. Repair becomes creation, and softness becomes strength. It is a quietly powerful statement on resilience and elegance, rendered through light, movement and a deeply poetic understanding of modern femininity.
