PLAN C SS26: DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT
Plan C SS26: The Designer Spotlight
Reds, brights and fresh whites for the season ahead, plus an accessories edit built around standout shoes, bags and jewellery.
Plan C is an Italian label founded by Carolina Castiglioni, daughter of Marni's founder, known for eclectic prints, bold colour and a graphic, artful approach to everyday dressing. The SS26 collection, now at Riada Concept in Woollahra, Sydney, leans into exactly that point of view: saturated reds and brights for statement pieces, fresh optical whites for summer, and an accessories offering that is genuinely built to be worn, not just carried. Below, the edit in three parts.
Reds & Brights
Plan C's Fire Red and Vermilion Red run through this season's boldest pieces, from an asymmetric viscose skirt with long draped side panels to a pair of patent leather slingback heels finished in the same saturated shade. A striped boxy tee in white and red offers an easier way into the palette, while paper pearl jewellery, a necklace and matching drop earrings in Vermilion Red, brings the colour into accessories without committing to a full red look. For footwear, the Cord Detail Slingback Sandals pair red and white leather with a braided cord strap, built as much for a bold daytime look as for evening.
Fresh Whites
Where the reds carry the drama, Plan C's Optical White pieces bring the season's most wearable basics. The Pleated Cotton Blend Belted Midi Shirt Dress, styled with a rope belt, is the standout of the group, easy enough for daytime and considered enough for evening. Two graphic cotton tees, one with a Self Portrait print, the other a Vase print in soft multicolour, offer a simple way to bring Plan C's artistic prints into a plain white wardrobe staple. Both are finished with the label's own printed and illustrated shopper bags, also in white, for a genuinely matching approach to accessorising.
The Accessories Edit
Plan C's accessories are as considered as its ready-to-wear, and this season's edit is built to be worn on repeat. The Flower Intarsia Fussbett Sandals complete the season's shoe offering in black, with a white floral cross-strap detail that softens an otherwise minimal silhouette. Bags follow the same graphic logic: a black Pili & Bianca Mini Shopper carries the label's illustrated character artwork, while the Striped Small Straw Tote brings black, yellow and lime together in a genuinely playful summer accessory. The Irregular Milk Pendants Necklace, sculptural ivory pendants on a tobacco cord, finishes the jewellery offering in a quieter register than the reds above.
Two neutral basics anchor the accessories: a Stretch Cotton Poplin Skirt and matching Trousers, both in black, built to sit underneath any of the bolder pieces above without competing for attention.
