My French Summer Playlist

Season - Spring Summer 2026

My French Summer Playlist — SS26

A poetic, sustainable summer wardrobe by Tata Christiane — soft French aesthetic, pastel palette, and lyrical details inspired by iconic French songs.

For Spring Summer 2026, My French Summer Playlist brings a dialogue between sound, texture, and emotion. Inspired by beloved French songs such as Libertine, L’eau à la Bouche, Vivant Poème, Foule Sentimentale, Vilaines Filles Mauvais Garçons, Sans Contrefaçon, Panpan Culcul, Dansez sur Moi, and Premier Baiser, the collection captures the sensual rhythm and nostalgic lightness of a French summer — tender, mischievous, and free.

Each piece is imagined as a verse or a refrain, echoing the essence of French pop and chanson — where melody, poetry, and personality intertwine. A vinyl-shaped label accompanies every garment, inviting you to an online playlist curated for the season — a living soundtrack that blends the iconic and the unexpected. Visit the SS26 playlist to set your summer mood.

Palette and Materials

The collection embraces a soft French aesthetic: a harmony of mint, cream, light yellow, and terracotta tile tones drawn from the SS26 palette inspired by Broadcastor. These hues evoke sunlit afternoons, seaside cafés, and the joy of open-air festivals. Fabrics — Tencel, silk, cotton, and viscose — create a fluid, weightless touch on the body, enhancing the sensation of summer freedom. Hand-dyed antique crochet from our studio merges with deadstock materials, celebrating craftsmanship and sustainable slow fashion.

Prints and textures explore playful heritage: dotted patterns, toile de Jouy inspirations, delicate florals, and modern graphic motifs that feel fresh, elegant, and wearable.

Silhouettes and Details

My French Summer Playlist explores femininity in all its nuances — soft yet daring, romantic yet confident. Silhouettes embrace comfort and fluidity with gathers, ties, asymmetries, and subtle cutouts to add fantasy and intimacy to each creation. Discover the movement and lightness across dresses, skirts, and tops in the lookbook, then find your piece in our shop.

French Music as Muse

French music, much like this collection, lives in the balance between elegance and emotion. From the lyrical intimacy of Serge Gainsbourg and Françoise Hardy to the provocative energy of Mylène Farmer and the playful irreverence of Brigitte Fontaine or Philippe Katerine, French chanson and pop celebrate individuality and nuance. From the poetic melancholy of Barbara and the rhythmic sophistication of Claude Nougaro to the luminous tenderness of Alain Souchon, this tradition continues to inspire a dialogue between sensuality and thought, freedom and introspection.
