For Spring/Summer 2026, Marc O’Polo Denim has chosen Marseille as the backdrop for its new campaign curated by Lena Mantler. The French port city, with its blend of Mediterranean tradition, contemporary creativity, and laid-back atmosphere, serves as the starting point for a collection that combines urban style with coastal influences. Marking her sixth collaboration with the brand, Lena Mantler captures the city’s energy through effortless yet striking looks, where Scandinavian cuts, lightweight fabrics, and denim details come together in a balance of minimalism and spontaneity.

Marc O'Polo Denim's pineapple fiber denim for Summer 2026

The standout feature of the collection is denim made with pineapple fiber, created from repurposed pineapple waste and blended with organic cotton. The result is a lightweight, durable, and breathable fabric designed to handle summer temperatures without compromising on comfort. It’s a choice that reflects Marc O’Polo Denim’s commitment to more innovative and responsible materials.

Checked vests, barrel-leg trousers, organic cotton maxi skirts, and cropped jackets also feature prominently, reinterpreting classic summer wardrobe staples through a contemporary lens.
