ROMANTICISM IN MOTION

ROMANTICISM IN MOTION

For Spring/Summer ’26, RUNDHOLZ DIP explores a softer, more atmospheric direction shaped by washed colour, layered texture and expressive silhouettes. Cloud-dyed finishes in tones of washed sage, pale grey, textured ivory and natural linen create depth and movement, whilst lightweight Cupro, semi-sheer Cotton and distressed denim introduce an effortless fluidity throughout the collection.

Rather than relying on apparent decoration, femininity is approached through fabric and construction. Lace appliqué and relaxed tailoring balance softness with structure, creating pieces designed for layering and personal expression. As one of the UK’s leading RUNDHOLZ stockists, the SS26 collection arrives at House Of Valerie as a refined exploration of modern ladies designerwear.

RUNDHOLZ DIP

The fitted Cupro jacket in Seaweed Fog immediately establishes the romantic mood of the collection. The lightweight fabric carries a fluidity that softens the fitted silhouette, whilst the cloud-dyed finish creates an artistic surface filled with a variety of tones. Rather than appearing flat, the smoky eucalyptus tone shifts subtly across the garment, enhancing the sense of movement within the fabric itself. The gathered vent detail at the back introduces shape without disrupting the clean line through the front, allowing the jacket to drape naturally away from the body. 

The sleeveless printed vest in Seaweed Print continues this softer narrative through a faded teal toile-inspired motif. The washed blue-grey tones give the print an aged quality that feels atmospheric, whilst the straight-cut silhouette ensures it remains grounded within everyday dressing. Styled alongside the Linen Melange drop-crotch trouser, the muted aqua tones sit beautifully against the natural linen palette, creating a look that feels relaxed yet considered.

The oversized linen trouser in Linen Melange introduces structure in a quieter way. Crafted in a soft oat beige tone, the lightweight linen fabric holds shape without rigidity, allowing the exaggerated silhouette to drape naturally from the body. The low drop-crotch cut reinforces the relaxed mood of SS26, whilst the oversized back pocket and exaggerated placket bring a subtle utilitarian edge that feels unmistakably RUNDHOLZ DIP. Styled with fitted jackets or lighter semi-sheer layers, the silhouette creates balance through proportion rather than sharp tailoring.

Romantic texture comes fully into focus through the fitted Cotton lace jacket in Seafoam Fog. Intricately worked yet surprisingly lightweight, the semi-sheer lace construction creates depth through transparency and layering rather than embellishment alone. The warm ivory tone enhances the artisanal quality of the lace beautifully, whilst the narrow stand collar and softly tailored silhouette prevent the piece from feeling overly delicate. Styled over relaxed linen pieces or softer dresses, it introduces lightness and texture whilst maintaining the collection’s modern edge.

The fitted linen jacket in Linen Melange continues the collection’s dialogue between romance and utility. The soft stone shade enhances the organic quality of the linen, whilst oversized front pockets and contrast black buttons introduce a sharper, more practical edge. Unlike the fluidity of the Cupro pieces, this jacket feels slightly more architectural, holding its shape in a way that frames the body cleanly. Styled with the coordinating Linen Melange trouser, the overall look feels relaxed yet refined.

Grounding these softer looks is the RUNDHOLZ MAINLINE brogue-style shoe in Marshmellow. The natural flax tone of the textured hessian-style fabric complements the tactile direction of the collection perfectly. Whilst classic in shape, the minimal finish keeps the shoe contemporary and understated, allowing it to anchor oversized tailoring and romantic textures with ease.

A different interpretation of romance emerges through the fitted lace appliqué jacket in Sky Fog. Here, texture becomes more layered and tactile. The distressed dye finish softens the washed sky blue tone into something cloud-like and atmospheric, whilst raw-edged lace appliqué panels create movement across the surface. The fitted silhouette keeps the piece controlled and sculpted, allowing the romantic detailing to feel deliberate rather than decorative.

The coordinating waistcoat in Sky Fog offers another way to introduce this romantic texture into everyday styling. The powder blue finish feels soft and understated, particularly when paired with the matching trouser. Worn buttoned alone, it creates a sharper silhouette through the body, whilst layered beneath jackets it introduces texture without heaviness. The lace appliqué detailing softens the structure beautifully, making the piece feel feminine without excess.

The exclusive House Of Valerie x RUNDHOLZ DIP wide-leg trouser in Sky Fog continues this painterly story through a cloud-dyed Cotton-Linen mix. The pale blue-grey tone appears almost faded by light, giving the fabric an airy, worn-in quality. Sculptural folds and oversized pockets prevent the silhouette from becoming overly fluid, grounding the softness with a more utilitarian edge. Styled with the matching jacket or waistcoat, the overall look feels cohesive and expressive.

Denim plays an equally important role within SS26, particularly through the Seaweed Fog pieces. The distressed-dyed denim trouser introduces a vintage sage finish that feels softer and more nuanced than traditional indigo. The oversized back pockets and exaggerated placket maintain the utilitarian character of RUNDHOLZ DIP, whilst the washed finish allows the silhouette to sit naturally within the wider romantic palette.

Styled with the fitted denim jacket in Seaweed Fog, the result feels sculptural yet relaxed. The dusty green-grey finish softens the structured silhouette beautifully, allowing the puffed shoulders and seam detailing to remain the focal point. The narrow stand collar and exposed vent detail at the reverse introduce subtle historical references, balanced by the distressed finish and tactile cotton fabrication.

The sleeveless waistcoat in Seaweed Fog continues this softer denim narrative. The washed sage tone works effortlessly layered beneath tailoring or worn alone against lighter separates. Lace appliqué detailing introduces movement and texture across the surface, whilst the fitted shape keeps the overall look refined and wearable.

Fluid dressing returns through the oversized Cupro shirt in Sky Fog. The soft cloud blue shade enhances the movement within the lightweight fabric, reinforcing the collection’s airy, romantic direction. Dropped shoulders, gathered sleeves and the softly structured back detail allow the fabric to move beautifully with the body, whilst raw-edged detailing prevents the oversized silhouette from feeling overly polished.

Worn with the coordinating drop-crotch trouser in Sky Fog, the result is fluid, expressive and quietly modern. The washed sky blue finish allows the fabric’s movement to become the focal point, whilst subtle pleating and relaxed tailoring maintain ease throughout the silhouette.

Completing the edit is the RUNDHOLZ MAINLINE platform shoe in Marshmallow. The soft ivory finish balances the sculptural sole beautifully, grounding the collection’s romantic textures with a cleaner, more contemporary edge. Styled beneath oversized tailoring, distressed denim or fluid Cupro, the shoe reinforces the collection’s interplay between softness and structure.
