Worlds collide at We11done, the Seoul-based fashion brand that celebrates the art of the in-between. For its Pre-Spring 2026 collection, Love Sprung, We11done explores the dark side of romance, imagining a modern-day wardrobe for star-crossed lovers torn apart by societal expectations. Strong yet soft, passionate yet pragmatic, like timeless characters from Pyramus and Thisbe, Anna Karenina and Count Vronsky, Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanen before them, they contain multitudes.
Love Sprung’s protagonists adore hourglass silhouettes, which range from sculpted bustier tanks to track jackets and oversize polo dresses with subtly nipped-in waists. They also love a power shoulder, whether on an oversized hoodie jacket or a double-breasted coat sprouting crystal chains across its back, or the technique also extends to a tailored tie shirt, a button-up with structured shoulders and a built-in matching tie that can also be worn as a mini dress. Rose thorn safety-pin brooches and other edgy accessories like chokers and chain necklaces add a darkly romantic grace note to these structured pieces.
What’s his is hers, and what’s hers is his. This leading lady and leading man borrow from each other’s closets and embrace a layered look that features One thing our hero and heroine never do is play by the rules. In the throes of love, they layer with abandon, mixing and matching Love Sprung’s more formal, structured silhouettes with casual easy pieces. The collection highlights a number of pre-styled pieces that add intrigue, such as roll-edge baby tees layered over long-sleeve T-shirts, a denim miniskirt-track pants combo, and a pair of high-waisted trousers with an attached peplum. Western-inspired leather chaps add further creative styling possibilities.
The season artwork illustrates complex feelings about love, from an angelic Ted sprouting cherub’s wings to trompe l’oeil cross necklaces and a flaming rose covered in leather studs. The We11done logo is reimagined as a breaking news ticker that runs down sleeves and the sides of pants sharing news of the lovers’ plight.
Riffing on We11done’s signature monster, grommet, and pearl motifs, the collection also features a collaboration with the Spanish jewelry label La Manso. It includes a surrealist range of acrylic cocktail rings and ball chain pendant necklaces with bunny and bear ears and devil horns, as well sculptural bangles sprouting pearls and grommets.
