Saul Nash and lululemon blend utility, knitwear and earth tones for SLNSH SS26
Saul Nash’s SLNSH SS26 pushes lululemon into streetwear terrain with a perforated Define jacket, knitwear and carpenter pants in earthy tones and acid green.
Saul Nash has made lululemon look less like gym kit and more like a wardrobe with a point of view. The SLNSH spring 2026 chapter leans hardest into that shift, led by a perforated Define jacket, knitwear, carpenter pants and graphic tees cut in muted earth tones and jolted with bright green accents. The effect is not “fitness adjacent” so much as city-ready: pieces built for movement, but sharp enough to wear away from it.
That is the core of SLNSH, the multi-season collaboration Nash and lululemon have framed around body, form and function. Nash has said, “I want the clothes to move as beautifully as the person wearing them,” and the collection follows that logic through two-way zips, perforated zones, seamless construction, waterproof jackets, mesh panels and removable hoods. The result is a line that treats utility as styling language, not just technical feature set. In a market crowded with elevated sweats and recycled performance tropes, SLNSH stands out because it makes function feel authored rather than borrowed.
The collaboration began on March 11, 2025, when the first SLNSH launch introduced a spring 2025 collection built around the theme of Metamorphosis. lululemon said that debut was available online and in select stores globally, and that Nash wanted people to rethink what activewear is, when it can be worn and who wears it. By spring 2026, the proposition had sharpened. Members received early access to select styles starting March 6 through the app, and the broader collection is now available, giving the line the feel of a wardrobe rollout rather than a one-off drop.
That broader release also signals how far lululemon has pushed beyond its core studio identity. The fourth SLNSH chapter was first previewed at Milan Men’s Fashion Week in January 2026 and landed in stores and on lululemon.com on April 14, 2026, spanning menswear, womenswear and accessories. Nash’s current visibility extends beyond fashion, too: he is also designing costumes for Wayne McGregor’s Alchemies mixed bill at the Royal Opera House, which runs from April 18 to May 6, 2026. Taken together, the two projects underline the same instinct, clothing that thinks like performance design but wears like streetwear with restraint.
