Lii Menswear Autumn 2026

Zane Li has brought his menswear back to Paris ahead of his women’s show in New York next month. From a sleek showroom in the Marais, the designer explained how the season’s concept emerged from his longtime fascination with cars. Not their engineering or design, but a more contemplative relationship with them: observing life passing while traveling between studios and factories in China, or how a car’s speed makes it at once exhilarating (racing) and dangerous (the twisted scenes from David Cronenberg’s ). While nothing about the collection conjured that film’s auto-erotica, Li explained how all the allusions coalesced in the layering that made up each look.
