It’s been a gloomy week for the UK, so a collection with a sun-kissed vibe is very much welcomed as we look ahead to spring/summer. A modern and tasteful collection by Jean-Marie Contreras.
Inspiration
At the dawn of Spring/Summer 2026 Solea emerges as a breath of fresh air. A radiant, free and assertive energy that invites movement, boldness and self-expression.
Lines are liberated, materials become fluids and gestures are precise yet instinctive.
With soles, Jean-Marie Contreras presents a luminous inhibited, and profoundly contemporary collection. Vibrant, elegant and inspiring, Solea paves the way for summer driven by creativity and a desire to dare.
2026 promises to be the year of possibilities. It’s up to us to make them a reality.
