Roxana Ostroveanu: Couture Refinement at Paris Fashion Week

Paris Fashion Week has always had the power to rewrite stories of femininity — and this year, one of those stories carried the signature of Romanian designer Roxana Ostroveanu.

Set against the refined backdrop of the Ritz Hotel, her brand Imroska unveiled a couture collection that transformed elegance into a universal language.

The designer presented her Spring/Summer 2026 collection, titled The Artist — a poetic dialogue between heritage craftsmanship and contemporary expression.

The collection celebrated timeless couture materials, most notably storytelling lace — fabrics steeped in history since the late 19th century, when skilled artisans from Caudry, France, began weaving intricate lace patterns that became synonymous with haute couture. Each piece stood out through its fluid silhouettes, meticulous detailing, and an aura of timeless grace.

A key highlight of the presentation was the integration of the 2026 Colors of the Year — Transformative Teal, a blue-green hue symbolizing change and reconnection with nature; Wax Paper, a creamy yellow with sunlit undertones; and Fresh Purple, a soft, spiritual shade of violet. These chromatic accents infused the collection with modern vitality, harmonizing tradition and trend.

“I wanted to create a collection that inspires and evokes the idea of eternal femininity — but also transformation, a reflection of how we adapt to the world we live in. The fabrics I use are rare and rich in history; every piece is unique, carrying within it a touch of tradition and a vision of the future,” said the designer.

In a global fashion landscape constantly in motion, Roxana Ostroveanu’s presence at Paris Fashion Week reaffirmed that a Romanian name can stand as a symbol of refinement on the international couture map. It marks the beginning of a story poised to bring Romania closer to the very heart of the world’s fashion stage.
