For her spring 2026 collection, Maria McManus’s OG homage to sustainability and craftsmanship continued to shine. The collection featured a female-dominant collaboration with the leads of Agolde, Le Sundial and sculptural bags by Esha Soni, along with her long-standing beauty partnerships with Estée Lauder and Aveda.
In true form to the brand’s identity, luxury begins with craft and McManus executes this in the collaboration with Agolde, which briefly previews what’s expected to properly launch in Paris soon, said McManus.
As seen on the runway, there was a pale slouchy wide-leg trouser jean in a washed-out indigo made from regenerative cotton and biodegradable elastin with a blend of lyocell that’s sourced from Agolde’s own farm partners. She also honored the protection of traditional textile crafts like hand smocking, lace, crochet and macramé. A black handmade macramé dress that paraded the runway was made in collaboration with Bolivian artisans, who used organic Italian cotton with various macramé stitching, styled with Le Sundial black onyx lentil earrings. Pops of color like lilac, mauve-like, and a daring but subtle ruby red were seen throughout in a range of shirts and skirts, all made from organic cotton. To remain authentic to the brand’s identity rooted in responsibility, McManus offered a collection that displayed the collaboration of strength among women and what they can offer the world in such difficult times.
