The Korean brand ADERERROR has unveiled its Autumn–Winter 2026 collection. ‘Time After Time’ centres on ceramics – their forms, textures and artisanal character. This theme features not only in the clothing, but also in the campaign and the space in which the collection is displayed.
The designers took ceramics as their starting point, viewing them as objects that bear the marks of successive eras, values and traces of manual labour. ADERERROR’s characteristic approach to fashion has this time been combined with inspirations drawn from craftsmanship. One of the most significant references is the movement of the potter’s wheel – its rotation and repetitiveness.
In the garments, this has translated into softer, more rounded silhouettes and fluid lines. Voluminous garments are juxtaposed with more structured designs, whilst simple forms are combined with curves. The brand also deliberately utilises the contrast between volume and emptiness, creating silhouettes with an almost sculptural quality.
Ceramic-inspired elements also feature in the fabrics and details. The collection utilises, amongst other things, jacquards with oriental patterns, ceramic and metal elements, beads, ties and fringes. The surfaces, stitching and hand-crafted-looking finishes are intended to emphasise associations with the process of creating and working with ceramics.
The colour palette remains subdued. Black, graphite, brown and burgundy are complemented by shades of light blue and turquoise. The latter evoke associations with glaze and the way it flows irregularly across the surface of a fired object.
The collection is accompanied by a campaign featuring the Korean actor Byeon Woo-seok. Its set design is built around the same motifs as the garments – ceramics, objects and forms inspired by craftsmanship. The campaign forms part of ADERERROR’s ‘Poetic Project’, through which the brand combines fashion with other fields of art and design.
The concept has also been brought to life at ADERERROR Sinsa Space in Seoul. The pop-up area has been redesigned to recreate elements featured in the campaign. The garments, objects and architecture thus form a single, cohesive world in which the collection functions not only as a range of clothes, but also as a spatial experience.
Among the new releases is also the Veilin Sneaker. The minimalist, laceless upper is paired with an irregular sole, whilst the hidden logo changes shape depending on the viewing angle. The collection also features the brand’s signature Prato bags, this time in new versions crafted from various types of black leather.
‘Time After Time’ went on sale on 9 September via ADERERROR’s official online shop and on the Tmall platform, and has also been available in the brand’s high-street stores in South Korea, China and Japan since 10 September.
ADERERROR once again demonstrates its distinctive approach to fashion, in which clothing becomes part of a broader language that also encompasses art, objects and space. This time, the starting point is ceramics – a traditional craft treated as a source of contemporary forms and new interpretations.
