Véronique Leroy Spring 2026: ‘Crazy Secretary’

Véronique Leroy played with volume and shape for spring 2026 and borrowed colors from Sylvie Ruaulx’s artwork made from recycled plastic panels. Its grainy blue, grey, pink, and green hues could be seen across Leroy’s versatile and feminine collection.

It was presented in the form of a look book shot at TL House, a Belgian television office inaugurated 18 years ago by Albert II, then King of the Belgians. The designer said she had this image of a “crazy secretary” in mind.

Of course, she is not crazy in the clinical sense, but fun and daring with her fashion choices. She loves the attention in the office, mixing terry cloth with velvet, and pairing swimwear-inspired separates with knit shorts or puff-shoulder tops.

The designer also proposed sharp tailored suits, coats with big shoulders, tactile dresses with smocked details, stretchy knits, and, for the first time, big, sculptural jewelry carved from wood, a material Leroy said she would like to further explore in future collections.
