Evening wear 2026

Colour, structure and movement

Evening wear 2026 brings together the vibrant colour of Thenu’s Sri Lankan heritage and the clean, considered lines of Finnish design.

Deep jewel tones – red, teal, plum and cobalt – meet sculpted bows, draped shoulders, layers of organza and flowing trains. Each gown is designed to move with the person wearing it, from the first entrance to the last dance.
