Concept of Spring/Summer 2026
This is the second release of the collaboration between NY-born brand ENGINEERED GARMENTS and Tokyo-based GU.
ENGINEERED GARMENTS, founded by designer Daiki Suzuki, is renowned for its modern reinterpretation of classic American workwear and military pieces, meticulously crafted down to the smallest detail, resulting in truly “engineered” items.
This collaboration was made possible as a result of the shared passion GU and ENGINEERED GARMENTS have for “craftsmanship.”
Centered around the theme New American Riveriera, this collection updates classic American resort style for today. Featuring 6 styles, it emphasizes materials and silhouettes while delivering comfort and a playful spirit.
