For Spring-Summer 2026, Casablanca offers an intimate, grounded expression of the season – one rooted in the brand’s community.
Featuring a group of talent who have all supported Casablanca over the years, the images showcase each individual wearing pieces they selected and styled according to their own sensibility.
Representing a range of personalities, lifestyles and aesthetics, the casting was underpinned by an involvement and background in music. In addition, each individual has a genuine relationship with and embodies different facets of Casablanca, showcasing the brand’s versatility and how it empowers and facilitates self-expression. The story, ultimately, is about Casablanca as a brand that’s lived, not staged, with pieces and collections that adapt to different identities, cultures and energies, carried by the people who believe in it and have grown with the brand. Casablanca will continue revealing members of the collective as the campaign unfolds.

Working with brand stylist Helena Tejedor, who supported and helped refine each individual’s chosen looks, the talent include:
Skepta – @skepta
A British grime MC, Mercury Prize-winning, five-time Brit Award-nominated, and Grammy-nominated rapper, record producer, creative director, designer, film director and DJ, Skepta’s influence extends across music, style, and culture. A close friend of founder and creative director Charaf Tajer, he has supported Casablanca since its inception, wearing the brand for his own campaigns, including one for Havana Club. He joins Casablanca for SS26, wearing a number of sporty jackets and knit polos in his portraits and representing the brand’s ongoing dialogue with contemporary creative communities.
“Skepta is more than just someone I work with – he’s one of my closest friends. He’s been there from day one, when the brand was just ideas and a dream; he attended our very first runway show, wore the first Casablanca tracksuit sample, before anyone knew what the brand was, and even stops by the office. We’ve grown together over the years and have a lot of mutual respect. He’s now a recognised house DJ, so it felt natural featuring him in our Friends & Family Portrait for SS26 – an homage to house music. ‘For the Love of House’ is all about community, and bringing Skepta into that story was a long time coming.”
– Charaf Tajer, Founder and Creative Director, Casablanca
Omah Lay – @omah_lay
Omah Lay is a Nigerian singer, songwriter and record producer who was Apple Music’s very first Africa Rising Artist in 2020; by 2024, he had sold out his own headline concert at the O2 Academy Brixton in London. His relationship with Casablanca began organically, discovering it through a stylist, then collaborating with the brand in Ibiza and attending the runway show at Paris Fashion Week in 2025.
For SS26, he chose three looks: a signature navy tracksuit; long black shorts with a short-sleeve, button-down knit; and a black and white knit polo.
Olivier Zahm – @ozpurple
Founder of the legendary Purple magazine, French editor, art critic, curator, writer and photographer Olivier Zahm has been a long-time source of inspiration for Casablanca founder and creative director Charaf Tajer, who began collecting issues of Purple in his teenage years. Now closely connected to the brand, Zahm previously collaborated with the brand on a cover story and editorial featuring the FW25 ‘Kaizen’ collection, and chose to wear a classic denim jacket and jeans for his SS26 portrait.
Ben Cobb – @bengcobb
Editor and columnist Ben Cobb appeared in one of Casablanca’s earliest campaigns, marking an important moment in the brand’s visual history. Known for his distinctive, 70s aesthetic, Ben chose to wear a signature silk shirt and flare-legged trousers for one of his portraits. His return for SS26 reflects the importance of continuity and long-standing collaboration for Casablanca.
Issa Lish – @issalish
A long-time collaborator, Japanese-Mexican model Issa Lish has walked in several Casablanca runway shows and appeared in multiple campaigns. For SS26, she chose coordinating mini skirt sets, including one featuring the brand’s signature colour gradient and monogram. Her continued presence reflects a deep, enduring connection to the brand.
More to come as the campaign unfolds.
The Casablanca Spring-Summer 2026 collection is available now at casablancaparis.com, at the brand’s flagships in Los Angeles (469 North Canon Drive, Beverly Hills) and Paris (rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré), and at leading fashion boutiques across the globe.
