Designed by Alessandro Pungetti, the Ten c Spring/Summer 2026 collection is characterized by a strong contrast between materials and finishes, as well as significant design evolution. The brand has always combined technical innovation with a minimalist/practical aesthetic, aiming to create a balance between technology and comfort for an urban and contemporary look.
The new collection mixes colors and patterns: robust metallic surfaces are perfectly balanced with the light yet vibrant nature of summer. The metallic hues, which alternate between garments and details, create a pleasing contrast between warm copper and cool steel. The industrial aesthetic of the palette is perfectly balanced.
The brand continues to experiment with materials and accelerates research with the introduction of OJJ Titanium, developed using advanced nanotechnology, for garments with a waterproof and exceptionally durable finish. This innovation becomes the benchmark for the collection, making the brand particularly exclusive and high-quality; the almost entirely handcrafted pieces are available only by order.
The collection also features a mix of transparent and rigid materials, creating pleasing contrasts between lightness and strength. The use of subtle, never obtrusive transparency effects evokes a sense of dynamism and freshness, perfect for summer. Materials introduced for the first time in this collection, such as Chinook Cotton, are practical and highly contemporary. This ultra-fine cotton is capable of high performance: processing techniques make it extremely durable, waterproof, and breathable. Originally used to protect British fighter pilots in the event of a maritime accident, this high-density fabric is still used in military uniforms today.
Among the new additions is HT Steel Nylon, a water-resistant nylon canvas coated with a resin layer, featuring an inner coating that provides a protective barrier. The material also boasts a metallic effect, making it truly unique and an exemplary result of this season’s aesthetic-functional research.
The military influence is evident in the details as well. The heat-sealed pockets are derived from the uniforms of the Royal Navy but have been reinterpreted with a rounder, more modern line, giving the garments a rugged yet elegant look.
Laser cutting, used for precise, seamless construction, gives each piece a clean, futuristic appearance, while functional fabrics such as textured cotton and nylon canvas are offered with a modern and practical finish.
This brand embodies the concept of sustainable and avant-garde fashion that enters the men’s wardrobe and is here to stay. The designs cater to the needs of an audience seeking practical yet innovative and stylish garments. Between innovation and tradition: The FS collection by Ten c focuses on flowing lines and durable materials, two characteristics that define the brand’s aesthetic and functional vision.
