Strength and softness. Hero and human.

High Summer ’26 explores the tension between two enduring masculine archetypes embodied by Hector and Ajax.

Ajax represents the sculptural ideal. Defined by discipline and physical presence, he recalls the timeless language of classical Greek statuary.

Hector takes on a quieter side of masculinity. Grounded, composed, and at ease in his surroundings, he finds confidence not in performance but in presence. Through everyday rituals, care becomes its own expression of strength.

Together, they propose a contemporary vision of manhood – one that balances power with tenderness, heritage with intimacy, and monumentality with warmth.

For Hector & Ajax, it is not about choosing between strength and softness, but having the courage to embody both.
