A Legacy in Motion at Toulouse Fashion Week – France
Fifteen years after her debut at Portugal Fashion in 2010, visionary designer Sandra Landisch returned to the runway — not just with a new collection, but with a cultural statement. After captivating audiences in Paris in 2011, she commanded attention on runways at New York Fashion Week in 2023 and 2024.
Landisch recently brought her journey full circle at Toulouse Fashion Week in France, unveiling her Spring/Summer 2026 collection; a bold, refined homage to Hip Hop culture, where rhythm meets elegance and legacy walks the catwalk.
The highlight of the show was a surprise collaboration with Hip Hop legend and American rapper Erick Sermon. It culminating with the reveal of the “RESPECT THE CULTURE” varsity jacket — a piece that instantly ignited conversation across the fashion and music worlds. With its gold-accented embroidery, the golden age, commanding silhouette, and unapologetic message, the jacket is more than a garment. It’s a stitched manifesto, fusing streetwise authenticity with couture-level craftsmanship.
This collaboration complimented the full-circle moment for Landisch, whose very first runway show brought Hip Hop to the fashion stage in Portugal. Now, 15 years later, she’s co-creating with one of the genre’s most respected artists.
Sandra Landisch opened her show with the message of her mixing music, “One of the most authentic cultures in the world where race, religion, skin color don’t matter. What stands out is talent. The skill. A tribute to the culture that represents part of me. Respect to all the pioneers. The legacy continues.”
Much love LANDISCH
In addition to the show was a powerful popping performance, featuring guest dancer from Dublin, Ireland, Leah Soanes. The popper set the tone by moving to Erick Sermon’s track ‘Music’, bridging the rhythm of hip hop with the raw expression of the popping dance — a bold fusion of cultural elements that framed the night.
On November 29th, the runway lit up in France at Toulouse Fashion Week, then on December 5th, Erick Serman released his new album Dynamic Duos, featuring big names like Snoop Dogg, Salt n Peppa, Redman, Method, Nate Dogg, Cypress, Hill, EPMD and more. It is an album not to be missed.
