ANNETTE GÖRTZ AW26 / THROUGH YOUR EYES
There is something unmistakable about ANNETTE GÖRTZ.
It might be the cut of a trouser, the proportion of a jacket or the way an oversized knit falls against something more precisely tailored. The clothes are understated, but never ordinary and for Autumn/Winter ’26, that balance between quiet luxury and individual design feels stronger than ever.
ANNETTE GÖRTZ AW26 explores perspective through texture, proportion and beautifully considered design. Clean architectural forms meet softly sculptural silhouettes, while fine cashmere, pure silk, extra-fine merino wool and beautiful leathers bring softness and depth.
Grounded in nuanced, nature-inspired tones, this is a collection made to be layered, combined and most importantly worn your own way.
THROUGH YOUR EYES
There are pieces that follow the body and others that deliberately move away from it. Neat tailoring sits alongside fluid trousers, softly oversized knitwear and fuller silhouettes, creating that slightly unexpected balance ANNETTE GÖRTZ does so well.
Nothing feels oversized simply for the sake of being oversized. Every piece seems to consider what will sit above it, beneath it or alongside it.
It is what makes the collection so good for layering. A fitted top beneath a sculptural jacket. A generous knit over a wide trouser. Something beautifully tailored against something deliberately relaxed.
The interest is in how those proportions meet.
THE ANNETTE GÖRTZ TROUSER
If there is one piece that immediately says ANNETTE GÖRTZ, it has to be the trouser.
High waists meet wide, full legs and weightier silhouettes, giving certain styles an almost retro quality but the way they are cut and styled makes them feel completely contemporary.
They are trousers designed to be noticed without needing embellishment or print. The shape does the work.
Wear them with something fitted and the trouser becomes the statement. Add a looser knit or coordinating jacket and the silhouette becomes softer and more layered.
And despite their directional appearance, many styles are surprisingly easy to wear, with elasticated or partially elasticated waists appearing across selected pieces.
Fine cashmere, pure silk and extra-fine merino wool bring softness to the more architectural shapes, while beautiful leathers add richness and weight.
That contrast is important.
A wide leather trouser feels completely different beside a fine knit. A precisely tailored jacket changes when layered over something soft and fluid. Even when an outfit stays within one tonal family, changing the texture gives it depth.
It is a quieter approach to luxury, less about obvious decoration and more about beautiful fabric, exceptional cut and how something feels when you actually put it on.
A MODERN WAY TO WEAR A CO-ORD
Co-ordinated dressing runs through ANNETTE GÖRTZ AW26, but this isn't traditional suiting.
Jackets and trousers are designed to work together without feeling corporate or overly formal. Proportions are more interesting, trousers are fuller and tailoring is softened, creating a much more modern silhouette.
Wear the complete look and it feels polished and directional. Break it apart and suddenly you have some of the hardest-working pieces in your wardrobe.
A beautifully cut jacket works with denim or a wide trouser from another collection. The trousers can be paired back with a simple knit or fitted top. It’s that versatility that makes investing in a co-ord so appealing, you're not really buying one outfit at all.
COLOUR, QUIETLY DONE
Black sits alongside cocoa, earthy browns, softened neutrals and nuanced nature-inspired shades, allowing shape and texture to become the focus.
Rather than relying on strong colour contrast, we love these tones layered together. Different shades of brown, taupe and black create depth without interrupting the silhouette, particularly when you begin mixing knitwear, tailoring and leather.
And there are some lovely opportunities to take the palette beyond ANNETTE GÖRTZ too.
The purple and earthy tones work particularly well alongside RUNDHOLZ, while introducing something from SORT AARHUS can give the more polished ANNETTE GÖRTZ pieces an unexpected edge.
Sometimes the best combinations aren't the obvious ones.
Perhaps what we love most about ANNETTE GÖRTZ AW26 is that it doesn't feel designed for one particular moment.
There are fashion-forward ideas here, exaggerated trousers, architectural shapes, unusual proportions but beneath them are beautifully made clothes with longevity.
A great trouser remains a great trouser. Beautiful cashmere doesn't stop being beautiful because the season changes. And a jacket with an exceptional cut can be pulled out year after year and styled completely differently.
It’s fashion for women who still want to experiment with what they wear, but who also want pieces worthy of keeping.
