Article: The First RUNDHOLZ Drop Has Landed

The First RUNDHOLZ Drop Has Landed
There is a particular moment at the start of a new season when everything feels open again. Lighter fabrics begin to replace heavier layers, colour returns in subtle ways, and silhouettes shift to reflect movement, ease and individuality. The first RUNDHOLZ delivery for SS26 captures this moment perfectly. Across MAINLINE, DIP and BLACK LABEL, the collection introduces three distinct moods that together define the early direction of the season. From expressive graffiti prints and supple leather, to softly washed cottons and calm linen staples, this first drop sets the tone for modern ladies designerwear grounded in design, craftsmanship and intent.
RUNDHOLZ has always resisted rigid seasonal narratives, and SS26 continues that approach. Instead, each line offers a different way of dressing, allowing you to move between statement and restraint depending on mood. What unites them is a focus on texture, proportion and wearability, ensuring that even the most expressive pieces feel considered and versatile.
RUNDHOLZ MAINLINE
RUNDHOLZ MAINLINE arrives with confidence this season, introducing bold graffiti prints and sculptural silhouettes that feel rooted in streetwear while remaining unmistakably refined. The hand-painted motifs bring an art-led energy to SS26, layered across fluid viscose and soft leather to balance impact with ease.

The graffiti-print jacket is a defining piece within the first drop. Crafted from lightweight, silk-finish viscose, it carries the intensity of the print without feeling heavy or rigid. The relaxed open-front shape allows the fabric to move freely, while the soft collar and oversized front pockets keep the design grounded and wearable. In Ice Print, the cool blue tones feel fresh and modern, pairing effortlessly with crisp white trousers or soft grey layers. Electric Print introduces a deeper, more saturated blue, ideal for adding contrast to neutral wardrobes. If you’re looking for a more classic colourway, the Black Print offers a slightly more understated approach, letting the graffiti pattern do the talking.

The co-ordinating graffiti-print trouser mirrors this balance of expression and ease. Cut to an exaggerated wide-leg silhouette, the trousers feature an elasticated waistband and pleated front that enhances movement through the leg. The viscose fabric drapes beautifully, ensuring the print feels fluid rather than graphic. Worn as a full set with the jacket, the look is unapologetically bold, yet softened by the fabric’s natural flow. Styled separately, the trousers work just as well with simple jersey tops or lightweight knits, offering flexibility within an SS26 ladies designerwear wardrobe.

Adding a different texture to the MAINLINE story, the lamb suede leather top introduces softness and structure in equal measure. The sleeveless silhouette is clean yet sculptural, defined by an asymmetric neckline slit and a layered front panel that gathers into a knot at the hem. In Marshmallow, the creamy tone highlights the natural suppleness of the leather, making it an elegant alternative to traditional summer tops. Pepper brings warmth and vibrancy, its orange hue adding energy when paired with neutral trousers or soft denim.

RUNDHOLZ DIP
Where MAINLINE feels bold and urban, RUNDHOLZ DIP moves into softer territory. This part of the SS26 collection explores texture, surface and movement through washed cottons and cloud-dyed finishes that feel organic and expressive. The focus is on fabric interaction rather than overt detail, allowing colour and construction to take the lead.

The sleeveless cotton top from DIP captures this philosophy perfectly. Crafted from lightweight cotton with a softly crinkled texture, each piece is finished with a distressed cloud-dye treatment, ensuring no two garments are exactly alike. The A-line silhouette offers ease through the body, while overlapping back panels and gentle gathering introduce movement without excess.

Amber Fog feels grounded and complex, its grey-brown base revealing subtle warmth where the light catches the fabric. Styled with sand or khaki linen, it feels earthy and refined. Linen Fog is lighter and more luminous, ideal for monochromatic dressing with creams and soft whites, while Seafoam Fog offers an almost translucent quality that works beautifully layered under jackets. Seaweed Fog introduces depth through its slate and sage undertones, pairing naturally with black or charcoal, and Sky Fog brings a pale, dusty blue that feels calm and contemporary.

This top is designed for versatility. We love this worn loose over relaxed trousers for an effortless look, or tucked slightly at the front for a more refined base. Within the RUNDHOLZ DIP SS26 collection, it acts as a quiet anchor, allowing texture and colour to speak without overwhelming the look.
RUNDHOLZ BLACK LABEL
RUNDHOLZ BLACK LABEL returns with its signature sense of calm, offering linen pieces that prioritise proportion, texture and ease. This season’s palette centres around green-led tones, alongside classic black and the introduction of Salina, a soft cream that feels especially relevant for SS26.

The sleeveless linen top is a standout for its simplicity and shape. Cut to an A-line silhouette with a stepped hem and gathered pocket detailing, it balances practicality with subtle design interest. In Grass, the deep jewel-toned green feels rich and grounding, pairing beautifully with black or neutral trousers. Looking for something more versatile? Black is timeless, allowing the shape and texture of the linen to take focus. Worn with co-ordinating trousers, the top becomes part of an understated set, while styled separately it works seamlessly with pieces from both MAINLINE and DIP.

The drop-crotch linen trouser continues this relaxed yet considered approach. With its wide-leg shape, elasticated waistband and drawstring fastening, it offers comfort without sacrificing structure. Salina and Black provide dependable wardrobe options, whilst Grass adds a touch of colour. These trousers work effortlessly as part of a co-ordinated look or styled with statement tops, making them a versatile foundation within a ladies designerwear edit.

The balloon-leg trouser offers an alternative silhouette, introducing volume through a rounded leg shape that feels modern and sculptural. In Salina, the shape feels especially striking, the pale tone enhancing the architectural quality of the cut. Grass and Black bring depth and contrast, allowing the silhouette to stand out while remaining wearable. Styled with the sleeveless top or layered with lightweight knits, these trousers offer a directional yet practical option for the season ahead.

We also love the sleeveless linen dress for ease and adaptability. Designed with dropped armholes and a softly flared shape, it features adjustable tie details that allow the silhouette to be worn loose or cinched for a neater finish. In Black, it becomes a versatile piece that transitions easily between day and evening. Grass adds richness and colour, while Salina feels fresh and understated, ideal for warm-weather dressing. The gathered pocket details echo the design language seen throughout BLACK LABEL, reinforcing cohesion across the collection.
