Paris has always had a talent for sharpening a brand’s point of view, and this January, Husky Original arrives at Who’s Next Paris with a Fall/Winter 2026 statement that feels both assured and freshly tuned. Showing January 17–18–19, 2026, the label presents men’s and women’s collections rooted in English heritage, refined through an unmistakably Italian lens, and delivered with the kind of craftsmanship that reads instantly luxurious in motion.
The decision to spotlight the season in the French capital underscores Husky Original’s international ambition, placing the brand within an environment defined by global perspective and cross-disciplinary creativity. Already available in a selection of carefully chosen stores, Husky Original uses this Paris platform to deepen its presence and expand its lifestyle narrative—one built on premium materials, sartorial precision, and an ease that translates from weekday city dressing to off-duty escapes.
At the center of the collection is Husky’s most enduring signature: the original quilted jacket, introduced in 1965 and still serving as a cornerstone of the brand’s identity. For Fall/Winter 2026, the icon returns with renewed relevance, celebrating the quiet power of a garment that has long stood for elegance with purpose. The season’s outerwear continues the story with new highlights, including a wool-cashmere coat that feels especially emblematic of Husky Original’s design language. Internally quilted in a chess-pattern diamond motif, the coat features a boldly stitched “H” placed over the heart, with a collar and hem that are quilted, embroidered, and interfaced on eco-leather—an intentional nod to the house codes and an expressive tribute to the brand’s DNA.
Equally central is the return of the Husky Jacket itself, described as the brand’s manifesto piece and a symbol of refined functionality. First conceived as a unisex garment, the style carries a legacy intertwined with British aristocratic dressing and is famously associated with Queen Elizabeth II and the Royal Family. In FW26, it’s reimagined through multiple silhouettes that speak to contemporary wardrobes. A cropped, ultra-feminine version with a round collar delivers a polished proportion play, while an elongated iteration offers an elegant line designed for layering. A more street-driven hooded design rounds out the lineup, created for both him and her, and tuned for modern movement and urban rhythm.
Accessories complete the season with an editorial sense of cohesion, reinforcing Husky Original’s message of a fully realized lifestyle. Corduroy baseball caps and logo shopping bags extend the collection beyond outerwear, giving the brand’s heritage codes an everyday ease.
There is also a subtle practicality running through this Fall/Winter vision, shaped by the realities of increasingly mild winters. Husky Original positions itself as an ideal outerwear choice for the moment: lightweight, versatile, and refined, designed to move effortlessly through the day without sacrificing style for function.
The brand’s story begins with a deeply personal origin that still resonates today. Husky was founded in 1965 by retired American aviator Steve Gulyas and his wife Edna, both devoted to hunting and fishing, with the original purpose of creating outerwear engineered to fight the cold while enhancing comfort and practicality in the outdoors. The name “Husky” honors the aviator’s loyal four-legged companion, and the brand quickly became synonymous with the hunting jacket. Its nylon quilted jacket captured attention immediately and soon became a status symbol, embraced internationally and worn by figures including Queen Elizabeth II, as well as Lady Diana and Princess Anne. This heritage remains woven into the label’s modern identity, now expressed through an Italian-made wardrobe defined by quality and character.
“As we arrive at Who’s Next Paris, Husky reaffirms its international positioning, transforming a historic icon into a contemporary vision of style, quality, and identity,” says creative designer Saverio Moschillo—an approach that feels fully aligned with what fashion craves now: pieces with provenance, craft, and a clear sense of self.
