SS26 Mauritania Trip

Before sunrise, movement begins without certainty: only the horizon that keeps dissolving into heat and dust as ROA SS26 campaign unfold in an expedition across the Sahara, tracing a passage through Mauritania’s most remote landscapes. At the center of this trip stands Africa’s largest monolith Ben Amera, captured entirely on 35mm.

Warm weather and light layers define the visual rhythm with garments worn continuously, tested under sun, wind, and long hours of exposure to variable weather: the desert becomes both setting and system, shaping movement and slowing time.

SS26’s function-first design language is activated here with lightweight and technical nylons, breathable membranes, and rapid drying constructions which respond to heat and constant transition. Expanded categories for running and water based activity find their purpose in sustained motion across terrain where infrastructure disappears and nomadic communities mark the only signs of human presence.

Collaborations such as the ones with Vibram®, Polartec® and Dryarn® support the expedition embedded in layers that regulate temperature, protect the body, and allow progression without interruption. Earth tones and deep blacks dissolve into sand and shadow, interrupted by blue and sage green colors.

Like the journey itself, meaning remains partially obscured, emerging slowly through the trip: ROA SS26 is about staying with uncertainty long enough for it to become direction. A slow passage through fog, heat, and silence where function becomes instinct and movement becomes the only way forward.
