COLLECTION — RESORT 2026
For Resort 2026, Casablanca turns its lens toward Los Angeles, a city that has long inspired founder andcreative director Charaf Tajer, and where the brand recently opened its first US store on Santa Monica Boulevard.Captured at the Sheats-Goldstein Residence, an iconic John Lautner-designed home, the Resort 26 campaign has an intimate,subdued mood, thanks in part to unexpected rain on the day of the shoot. Photographer Corentin Leroux used atmosphericlighting to lend a dream-like, cinematic allure to the images – a stark contrast from the city’s usual sun-drenched energy.
British model and actress Iris Law fronts the Resort 26 campaign, alongside models Sara Grace Wallerstedt, Duncan Yair andCamp Schill. As a modern Casablanca muse, Law embodies the quintessential LA girl in her effortlessness and nonchalance,going about her everyday rituals: stretching out lazily on a sofa; having a snack in the kitchen; standing around at home,dramatic views of the Beverly Hills valley behind her.
The easy, down-to-earth collection features a femme, pastel palette juxtaposed against richer hues such as oxblood androyal navy, and plays a complementary role in each scene. Monogram trims and bold side stripes add a sporty feel totailoring, coordinating sets and preppy silhouettes, while the ombré colour gradient and surreal scenes featuring orchids andotherworldly motifs appear on silk shirts. A textured waffle knit and mohair blend update the brand’s knitwear, and denimcomes in pink, psychedelic green, and a reverse-colour black monogram. Sneakers, including the signature Del Mar andStade styles, complete the Resort 26 collection.
