Spring – Summer 2026 – “MY HEART WILL GO ON”

Florentina Leitner SS26 Collection “My Heart Will Go On” is an ode to summer love, inspired by
Harmony Korine’s cult classics Gummo and Spring Breakers. It’s a world of hot girls, skater boys,
suburban daydreams, and endless nights, where innocence and chaos intertwine under fluorescent lights.
The collection embraces Americana and teenage nostalgia through playful character prints in
collaboration with iconic brand Paul Frank. Beloved pop culture motifs are reimagined in the Florentina
Leitner universe: cheeky, ironic, and irresistibly cute. Julius the Monkey and his girlfriend, Bunny Girl,
appear across T-shirts, tops, skirts, and accessories, infusing the collection with early-2000s nostalgia,
reinterpreted for Spring-Summer 2026.
This season merges street culture with the brand’s dreamy, cinematic storytelling. Customized skateboards
capture the carefree and rebellious spirit at the heart of the collection, unveiling the skater-girl as the muse
of SS26.
Silhouettes recall carefree summer nights: an oversized hoodie combined with a big neon skirt and baggy
skater shorts paired with printed bikinis. Glossy textures and leather laser cut details adorn skirts and caps.
Hawaii flower prints evoke sun-soaked escapism, imagined on a skater girl cruising through the LA
streets or the Miami Beach boardwalks. Bunny ears pay homage to Gummo’s iconic scene, transforming
outsider symbols into fashion statements.
The color palette pulses with fluorescent pink, acid green, and electric blue details, clashing with denim,
washed-out whites and greys, and black polka dotted fabrics, capturing the tension between youthful
rebellion and tender romance. Accessories play a key role: Monkey-shaped backpacks, pink braided hair
keychains, and bow hair clips in leopard print and neon green. Bold jewelry created in collaboration with
Melted Potato amplifies the love story’s sugary, yet cool energy conveyed through hoop earrings,
monkeys and big Hawaii flowers.
“My Heart Will Go On” is a cinematic exploration of fleeting summer moments—the thrill of first kisses,
the rebellion of teenage nights, and the bittersweet promise that some loves burn bright and vanish fast but
remain unforgettable.
