Guerlain's 2026 holiday collection, "DRESSED IN WONDERS," brings the world of a musical to the holiday season through a collaboration with Kevin Germanier, a Swiss-born fashion designer. The collection includes limited-edition makeup, an advent calendar, holiday coffrets and exceptional pieces. Pre-sales of the makeup and advent calendar start at the official online boutique at 10:00 AM on Thursday, October 1, 2026. Other items go on sale later in October and November, as listed below.
When Beauty Meets Haute Couture
Every year, Guerlain tells a new story as the holiday season arrives. This year, the maison presents a "musical" world.
Adding color to the stage is Kevin Germanier, a Swiss-born fashion designer who has drawn attention as a figure embodying next-generation luxury, with designs that combine sustainability and bold creativity. The collaboration brings new life to Guerlain's holiday story and has produced designs that shine like jewels.
Kevin Germanier: A World Woven From Sparkling Embroidery
Kevin Germanier stands out in the world of haute couture. Known as a pioneer of upcycling (reconstructing unused materials into higher-quality works), he gives new life to surplus stock and fabrics left in the atelier and to parts left unused in the design studio, turning them into creations as dazzling as jewels.
His designs, with sculptural forms, colorful palettes, vivid materials and sparkling beadwork, pursue a couture style that is both sustainable and glamorous. They are free-spirited and playful, unbound by convention. He showed the same challenging, avant-garde spirit when he created costumes for the closing ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics.
The 2026 holiday collection, born from the meeting of Germanier and Guerlain, has a bold yet poetic world view. It extends beyond makeup and fragrance to the entire campaign.
The Campaign: A Musical Night in Paris
In the campaign visual, the models wear one-of-a-kind bustiers finely embroidered with beads that shine in a blue gradient. These special couture pieces by Germanier wrap the holiday muses as if in a veil of light.
Germanier also designed the set for the campaign film and the decorations on the bees that dance in it, in collaboration with Elsa Muse (エルサ・ミューズ). Set in the world of "The First Musical Show," the collection's concept is "DRESSED IN WONDERS" (wearing the sparkling lights of the holidays). The collection portrays a cinematic scene on a holiday night in Paris, expressed with Guerlain's luxury and creativity. The lights illuminating the Eiffel Tower, fireworks reflected on the Seine and neon light spilling onto cobblestones turn the Paris night into a glittering musical stage.
This enchanting moment, when time seems to stand still, is also a quiet homage to the new iconic fragrance L'Heure Bleue (ルール ブルー).

For nearly 200 years, the exceptional craftsmanship that forms the "heart" of Guerlain's creations has given life to unrivaled objects of beauty.
To mark the 2026 collaboration, Kevin Germanier has reinterpreted the maison's iconic Bee Bottle. Beads, the designer's favorite material, were chosen to match the colors of the campaign and decorate the cuff that wraps around the bottle. The cuff can be removed and slipped onto the wrist, so it can be enjoyed as couture jewelry in a two-way design.
The elegant fragrance of the timeless Imagine Guerlain Eau de Parfum opens with glamorous floral notes and a fresh accent of orange. Lively woody notes then spread, leaving a deep impression of warmth and sensuality. It is an enchanting scent for a special holiday moment, where glamour and warmth overlap.
It is elegant, powerful and fantastical, a fragrance that resonates with Germanier's aesthetic.

The Campaign Film: A World of Music and Fantasy Created by Two Creators
This year, Guerlain invites viewers into a special musical world created together by Kevin Germanier and Elsa Muse. By combining their exceptional sensibilities and skills, they produced a campaign film more glamorous than anything before.
The setting is a fantastical Paris night that reflects Germanier's world view. Colorful, sparkling beads, each hand-embroidered by the designer himself, decorate the cityscape. On the magnificent stage, bees dance over the Pont Neuf, a bridge that symbolizes Paris. The Pont Neuf, crafted in minute detail like a couture piece, is one of the highlights. Soft blue light, reminiscent of the maison's new iconic fragrance L'Heure Bleue, wraps the festive world in a fantastical glow.
Germanier's craftsmanship also lives in the characters. The bee, the story's protagonist, wears a special dress he tailored, an exquisite piece that looks like a real couture creation in miniature.
To bring this world to life, Elsa Muse chose stop-motion animation. While carefully expressing Guerlain's creations and Germanier's craftsmanship, she lets her imagination roam freely and portrays a fantastical Paris where craftsmanship and poetry melt together.
Stop-motion requires 12 different still images for every second of footage, so the delicate work demands exceptional creativity and handcraft skills. Known for poetic worlds made entirely by hand, she carefully shaped a magical world, like peeking into a secret little theater, piece by piece. Magic is at work throughout the film, from spectacular fireworks lighting up the night sky and a grand dance of bees to music you will want to hear again and again.
Haute couture meets animation, and Paris in the holiday season, filled with light and joy, becomes a musical show. The artisans' handwork turns into movement, and each detail layers together to create a one-of-a-kind show.
It is an invitation to a festive moment of singing and dancing.
