SPRING/SUMMER 2026 - The Summer I Never Had

The Summer I Never Had — SS26 Collection
A quiet revolution from MARKE

For Spring/Summer 2026, MARKE presents The Summer I Never Had—a deeply personal and poetic collection that imagines the queer summers history never allowed. Inspired by novels like Maurice, Swimming in the Dark, and Young Mungo, the collection evokes secret love stories across eras and classes—from Edwardian gardens to communist-era Poland to 90s Glasgow estates.

With a palette of charcoal, pigeon blue, white, rosé, and greys, MARKE blends tradition with rebellion—tailoring with streetwear, structure with softness. The Summer I Never Had is more than clothing—it’s a love letter to lost youth, imagined freedom, and queer resilience.
