Casablanca Impresses with a Groundbreaking SS26 Performance

Charaf Tajer’s Casablanca captivated the senses at the renowned American Cathedral during the vibrant third day of Paris Fashion Week. With a blend of fashion and rhythm, the runway became a celebration of movement powered by a live gospel performance that resonated with every attendee. The theme of Spring/Summer 2026 was "FOR THE LOVE OF HOUSE," setting the stage for a bold interpretation of contemporary style and musical devotion.

Gospel Vibes Meet High Fashion

The highlight of the show was undoubtedly “Lift Me Up,” a breathtaking gospel anthem co-created with the legendary Little Louie Vega. This collaboration was more than a song; it was a powerful testament to the event’s electric atmosphere, staged against a striking mirrored backdrop that amplified the experience.

The front row sparkled with familiar faces like Wisdom Kaye and Mia Khalifa, both showcasing stunning pieces from the Casablanca collection. Nestled amidst the cathedral’s stunning stained-glass windows—one of Paris’s oldest English-speaking churches—it was almost as if the space came alive, perfectly mirroring the brand’s unique passion for music.

A Sensory Journey Through Fashion

Fashion lovers were treated to a sensory feast as the collection unfolded. With gradient summer sets, luxurious leather jackets, and eye-catching striped tracksuits, Casablanca demonstrated how to seamlessly blend formal and casual aesthetics. Each of the 52 looks was a testament to sophisticated streetwear, making bold statements without losing an ounce of elegance.

Tajer’s love for house music inspired a vibrant array of runway characters. Neon-washed trousers and shirts splashed with leopard prints added energy, while intricately designed utility sets brought forth a youthful edge. The finale was a showstopper, closing the event with a mesmerizing display of shimmering silver pieces—a reflective nod to the rhythm and release inherent in both fashion and music.
