For Magda Butrym, winter has never been just a season. In the “Winter” Fall/Winter 2026–2027 collection, presented during Paris Fashion Week, the designer approaches it more as an emotion and an attitude. A moment when a woman becomes more focused, stronger, and even more aware of her own femininity.
This is a collection about resilience, but not the raw, functional kind. Butrym offers a sensual, soft, almost cinematic winter. A season in which a woman moves through the city with confidence. Wrapped in a coat, yet surrounded by an aura of cool glamour.
Cinematic inspiration from Polish classics
The starting point was an unexpected inspiration: the heroine of the 1969 film “Hunting Flies.” The character of Irena—mysterious, elegant, and somewhat reserved. She perfectly embodied the vision of the modern woman according to Butrym.
This cinematic trope appeared in the details. Oversized sunglasses with a retro vibe gave the models an air of aloofness and intelligent irony. There was something reminiscent of Polish cinema from the 1960s. That’s why the show radiated an aura of elegance tinged with subtle melancholy.
Coats instead of dresses
In previous seasons, the brand was primarily associated with its distinctive dresses—romantic, sensual, often adorned with rose prints. This time, Butrym shifts the focus. Outerwear becomes the central element of the collection.
Long leather coats, tightly belted at the waist, create a sculptural silhouette. Coats with rounded shoulders add volume to the form. Yet they also remain exceptionally precise in their cut. Quilted jackets reminiscent of duvets also appear, fastened with leather belts resembling a corset—here, softness meets structure.
This is a wardrobe that protects against winter, but does so with exceptional elegance.
Winter according to Butrym: Texture instead of color
One of the most distinctive design gestures is the limitation of the color palette. Instead of intense colors, Butrym opts for monochromatic combinations. That’s why texture plays the most important role.
Bouclé, dense knits, crochet weaves, and faux fur create a rich, multidimensional surface for the collection. The materials almost invite touch. Meanwhile, the variety of textures builds visual depth in the styling.
It’s luxury that doesn’t shout – it rather whispers.
The Butrym woman matures
Proportions are changing as well. Skirts and dresses now reach midi length. Meanwhile, high heels are giving way to more practical footwear. The silhouettes are less evening-oriented, more urban.
This is a clear signal that the brand is entering a new stage. The designer is creating a wardrobe for women who live life to the fullest. They work, travel, meet people, and move between different worlds.
It’s no longer about a single spectacular dress, but about the entire narrative of everyday life.
Małgosia Bela – a symbol of timeless elegance
One of the most significant moments of the show was the presence of Małgosia Bela. Her appearance was almost symbolic.
Bela has for years represented a model who transcends the seasonality of fashion—a woman of remarkable strength of character and calm self-assurance. In the context of the “Winter” collection, she has become the embodiment of an idea that Butrym has been developing for several seasons: femininity that is mature, self-aware, and timeless.
Her presence was a reminder that true elegance is not about youth or trends, but about character.
A new chapter for the brand
The pragmatic nature of the collection is no coincidence. The Magda Butrym brand is preparing for the next step in its international expansion — a boutique opening in New York is planned for later this year.
“Winter” thus presents the designer at a moment of transformation. It’s a more mature, more focused collection, yet still true to what has distinguished the brand from the very beginning: subtle, magnetic sensuality.
Winter that gives strength
The most interesting thing about this collection is that it doesn’t treat winter as an obstacle.
In Magda Butrym’s interpretation, it is a time of focus and inner strength. A woman wrapped in a coat, wearing dark sunglasses, walking through the city—calm, confident, and slightly mysterious.
And it is precisely in this silence, in this winter restraint, that true luxury emerges.
Because according to Butrym, the most sensual woman is the one who doesn’t have to prove anything.
