“Reflections”: Where Spirit Becomes Matter in Nanushka’s Pre-Spring 2026 Blending spiritual architecture and fluid design, Sandra Sándor explores the hidden power of form in a collection inspired by Rudolf Steiner

I met Sandra on a warm afternoon in Paris, as the golden light spilled across the rooftops and time seemed to soften much like the fluid forms of her latest collection. The founder and creative director of Nanushka, Sandra Sándor, speaks with the serene clarity of someone who sees beyond the visible. Her Pre-Spring 2026 collection, Reflections, is not just inspired by Rudolf Steiner it is steeped in his philosophy of spiritual-material harmony. “I’m really drawn to his multidisciplinary approach,” Sandra tells me, “and the fact that he was also an architect. One of his most iconic buildings, the Goetheanum in Switzerland, is a masterpiece there are no straight lines, only soft, natural curves. It has this quiet power. That’s where it all began for me.”

From this starting point, Reflections unfolds as a meditation on the interplay between spirit and matter. Intuitive draping, rounded silhouettes, and tactile fabrics evoke a sense of internal transformation. Earthy shades like mocha, dark khaki, and oat are gently lifted by sunrise pastels and vivid rouge, with watercolor-inspired dyeing techniques that smudge and blur mirroring the theme of reflection. “We worked a lot on structural details pleats, folded waistbands, double collars. There’s this design element that repeats itself, even in the more minimal pieces,” she explains. “I’m also really into heritage fabrics classic wool and shearling textures are part of the brand’s language.” There are standout innovations too, such as modular bolero sleeves, a fresh take on eveningwear, and sculptural outerwear that plays with layering. Think sharply cut khaki trenches, cropped leather-effect denim jackets, and soft wool coats. Transparency becomes a key element: lace layered on sheer knits, crinkled chiffon, and elastic jersey add visual depth and kinetic energy.

The collection also debuts the Takaró bag—“Takaró” meaning “blanket” in Hungarian. “I wanted it to feel like something calming and protective, like a soft cover that hugs your body,” Sandra says.

Each piece in Reflections whispers a quiet message: what matters is not just what you see, but what lies beneath. In this collection, form and feeling intertwine just like spirit and matter.
