Six directions for Autumn-Winter 2026: the materials returning to stores, the combinations that work, and where to find each piece on the site.

Imperial coordinated double-breasted blazer and wide-leg trousers suit
01

The coordinated suit

A blazer and its matching trousers in the same material and shade. Worn together, it’s an outfit for special occasions. Separated, they are two pieces that stand on their own all year round: the blazer over jeans, the trousers with a camisole.

It’s the simplest way to look dressed up without appearing to try. Our stylists will put the set together with you, and lengths are adjusted on-site.

Imperial black plum diagonal crepe bomber jacket and trousers
02

Black plum

A plum so deep it’s often mistaken for black, applied to a whole wardrobe in diagonal crepe: blazer, bomber, trousers, top. Every piece coordinates with the others without having to think about it.

Warmer than strict black, more subtle than a true color. The shade lasts all season and pairs perfectly with both camel and gray.

Blue Imperial floral lace top, worn for daytime
03

Lace, for daytime

Lace is leaving the evening-only category. Under a blazer, with raw denim or tailored trousers, it can be worn at noon just as well as at 8 p.m.

A tank top, a blouse, a dress: the fabric is enough on its own; it doesn't need any accessories to make a statement.

Imperial satin leopard print shirt and trousers set
04

Leopard print

Animal print never goes out of style; it just reinvents itself. This season, leopard is worn as a statement piece—a blazer, wide-leg trousers—or in small touches, like a blouse slipped under a solid-colored coat.

The season's camel and brown tones soften it, making it wearable for everyday life.

Imperial Milano stitch jersey set, to wear from morning to night
05

Jersey, from morning to night

It’s the piece you throw on without thinking and keep on all day. Milano stitch jersey holds its shape, doesn't cling, and can be worn to the office or on a Sunday.

Fluid trousers, a matching top, and your silhouette is complete. Comfort is no longer a compromise.

Imperial plum satin midi dress, off-the-shoulder, for a ceremony
06

Weddings, cocktails, ceremonies

A ceremony sets a framework: a time, a place, and a dress code that is more or less explicit. Long dresses, coordinated sets, dressy pieces—the selection covers the year's occasions, from daytime weddings to gala dinners.
