Los Angeles is not just a backdrop, it's a state of mind... With Casablanca Resort 2026, the city becomes a place for intimate and cinematic expression. Under an unusually rainy sky, the light changes and silhouettes are revealed in a different light. Between dream and reality, the collection captures a softer, more introspective California.
Los Angeles as a constant source of inspiration
For its Resort 2026 collection, Casablanca draws inspiration from Los Angeles, a city that has nourished Charaf Tajer's creative universe since the brand's inception. This season also marks a key milestone for the brand, with the opening of its first American boutique, located on Santa Monica Boulevard.
The campaign was photographed at the Sheats-Goldstein Residence, a modernist masterpiece designed by John Lautner. Suspended above the Beverly Hills valley, this iconic architecture provides an almost surreal backdrop, accentuating the cinematic dimension of the collection. Unexpected rain on the day of the shoot transformed the atmosphere, creating a more intimate and nuanced mood, far from the clichés of perpetually sun-drenched California.
Iris Law, modern muse of Casablanca Resort 2026
At the heart of the Resort 2026 collection is Iris Law, who embodies a contemporary vision of the Casablanca woman. Both an actress and a model, the young woman represents that typically Californian chic nonchalance, made up of simple gestures and suspended moments. In the campaign, Iris Law moves through the intimacy of the space: she stretches out on a sofa, helps herself to a snack in the kitchen, and gazes at the horizon from the house. Alongside her, Sara Grace Wallerstedt, Duncan Yair and Camp Schill complete this naturally energetic cast.
A Resort 2026 collection combining soft pastels and sporty sophistication
The collection is distinguished by a subtle balance between femininity and structure. Soft, luminous pastel tones contrast with deeper colours such as oxblood and royal navy blue. Casablanca Resort 2026's signature details, such as monogrammed finishes and bold side stripes, add a sporty dimension to suits, coordinated ensembles and preppy silhouettes. Silk shirts are adorned with ombré gradients and surrealist patterns, while textured waffle knit and mohair knitwear modernise the wardrobe.
Denim, available in pink, psychedelic green or black with an inverted monogram, and the iconic Del Mar and Stade trainers complete the Casablanca Resort 2026 universe, offering us a truly comprehensive collection.
The collection can be found directly on their website.
