ANNETTE GÖRTZ AW26
For Autumn/Winter '26, Annette Görtz presents ‘Through Your Eyes’, a collection centred around perspective, texture and the quiet beauty found in considered design.
Remaining true to the German designer’s distinctive aesthetic, the season explores clean architectural forms and understated silhouettes through a softer, more tactile lens. Knitwear plays a defining role throughout the collection, with fine Cashmere, pure Silk and extra-fine Merino Wool bringing warmth and luxurious texture to relaxed, sculptural shapes. Fluid proportions sit alongside more structured tailoring, creating the subtle balance between softness and precision that has become synonymous with Annette Görtz.
The palette takes its cues from the natural world, moving through nuanced earth tones and organic shades designed to work effortlessly together. Rather than relying on excess detail, interest comes through proportion, fabrication and construction, allowing each piece to reveal its character through the way it falls and moves on the body. ‘Through Your Eyes’ is a continuation of Annette Görtz’s quietly confident approach to dressing: refined, individual and designed to transcend a single season.

ANNETTE GÖRTZ works beautifully alongside several of our other AW26 designers. The purple tones within the collection pair particularly well with RUNDHOLZ, creating an easy way to mix pieces across the two ranges while maintaining a considered palette.
For those looking to bring a little more edge to ANNETTE GÖRTZ’s aesthetic, try introducing pieces from RUNDHOLZ or SORT AARHUS. Their more directional shapes, textures and detailing create an interesting contrast while still feeling cohesive.
