Under the creative vision of Founder and Artistic Director Chathuri Samaraweera, Anaya Collection unveiled its much-anticipated Spring/Summer 2026 collection, Balearic Dreaming, at the historic Hôtel Le Marois in Paris. More than a fashion presentation, the afternoon unfolded as an immersive experience, a dialogue between couture, art and architecture, imagined through the lens of Mediterranean ease.
The story began with a campaign photoshoot directed by Mox Santos, set against a sunlit, Mediterranean-inspired backdrop. His images captured the ethereal grace and fluid movement that define the collection. Later that day, the narrative culminated in a runway show within the Hôtel Le Marois’ ornate interiors, where Parisian grandeur framed the modern femininity of the designs.
Balearic Dreaming captures the lightness of an endless summer, fluid silhouettes, dreamy fabrics, and a palette drawn from the Balearic coast. Think soft neutrals, ocean blues, and muted metallics that mirror Ibiza and Mallorca’s luminous sunsets, alongside rich tones of coral, green, and sapphire inspired by the region’s marine life. Each look is an ode to movement, freedom, and quiet sophistication, where couture craftsmanship meets effortless wearability.
“Presenting Balearic Dreaming in Paris was about creating an atmosphere, not just a show,” shared Chathuri Samaraweera. “Every element, from the initial mood board to the location and art direction, was chosen to immerse guests in the world of Anaya. It’s a modern interpretation of couture: grounded, fluid, and deeply connected to the spirit of the Mediterranean.”
The showcase drew an audience of international media, fashion insiders, and tastemakers from the worlds of art, luxury and design, reaffirming Anaya Collection’s growing global presence across both couture and ready-to-wear.
With its poetic aesthetic and commitment to craftsmanship, Anaya Collection continues to carve its identity within contemporary fashion, a brand defined by elegance, artistic integrity and a refined sense of place.
