JAPANESE ZEN GARDEN

For Fall Winter 2026, Christian Wijnants draws inspiration from the quiet discipline of Japanese Zen gardens, known as karesansui. The minimalist language of these dry landscape gardens, their raked linear patterns, curved compositions, muted tonalities, and surrounding forests, is translated through Wijnants’ lens into sculptural silhouettes and a restrained, contemplative palette. The profound sense of stillness and serenity experienced within a Zen garden subtly informs the mood, styling, and color story of the collection.
