The ground-breaking collaborative concept from ECCO is back, featuring capsules from Natacha Ramsay-Levi, Craig Green and Yosuke Aizawa (White Mountaineering)
ECCO.Kollektive returns for AW26 with a selected case of collaborators. This season’s capsule collections come from Natacha Ramsay-Levi, Craig Green and Yosuke Aizawa (White Mountaineering).
Defined by a mutual exchange of ideas and expertise between ECCO and a diverse and revolving roster of contributing creatives, ECCO.Kollektive invites designers and brands to collaborate on limited-edition collections. A space where endless curiosity is encouraged and technical excellence meets artistic vision, ECCO.Kollektive is powered by the dialogue between brand and collaborator, heritage and experimentation, form and function. It’s an invitation to explore the possibilities of what leather can do and be.
Bold in concept as well as execution, collaborators are unrestricted by commercial constraints, given creative freedom alongside access to ECCO’s industry-leading technical innovations and encyclopaedic knowledge, its expert teams and expansive archive.
The AW26 ECCO.Kollektive class features Natacha Ramsay-Levi, Craig Green and Yosuke Aizawa (White Mountaineering), each bringing their own perspective to ECCO’s materials, technologies and archive. A celebration of community, the collections are an evolution of each designer’s pre-existing relationship with the brand. Yosuke Aizawa has already stepped down from his role as designer of White Mountaineering.
ECCO.Kollektive by Natacha Ramsay-Levi
Natacha Ramsay-Levi was part of the first intake of ECCO.Kollektive collaborators in 2022, and has since gone on to become the brand’s first creative partner – a role which sees her work closely with ECCO’s in-house design team to produce seasonal.
Now, concurrent to her creative partner role, Ramsay-Levi returns to ECCO.Kollektive with a collection that reworks and reinterprets the project’s original design codes. Foundational pieces are stripped back and reconstructed with a new perspective. Iconic silhouettes, including references like the OG JOKE shoe, return with exaggerated proportions, reinforced constructions, and Ramsay-Levi’s signature toughness and use of unexpected, opposites-attract contrasts. Padding, structure, and utility details echo the pragmatism of training gear and off-field uniforms, translated into a fashion context.
ECCO.Kollektive by Craig Green
Green first collaborated with ECCO in 2025, presenting footwear as part of his SS25 runway show. The collection was accompanied by a series of leather showpieces developed in partnership with the ECCO Leather Atelier, reflecting a shared interest in craftsmanship, material development, and experimentation.
His new ECCO.Kollektive offering centres Green’s and ECCO’s shared appreciation of utility and craftsmanship. Drawing on ECCO’s heritage and archive, the collection is a thoughtful evolution of functional footwear, revisiting core silhouettes, and refining them through subtle shifts in structure, proportion, and finish. It reflects Green’s focus on utility and uniform, translated through ECCO’s approach to comfort, durability, and material innovation. Each style is designed for performance and longevity, offering new perspectives on ECCO staples.
ECCO.Kollektive by Yosuke Aizawa (White Mountaineering)
Yosuke Aizawa (White Mountaineering) creates a collection that spotlights technical precision and outdoor-inspired design. Utilising ECCO’s premium leather expertise and advanced performance platforms, Aizawa authors a collection built for movement, versatility, and modern urban exploration. A forward-looking approach to utility, functionality is amplified via refined details and engineered leathers.
