Open Call — SS 2026

Your design.
Our atelier.
Shared glory.

SOLÈNE is opening its doors to independent designers worldwide. Submit your concept — if we fall in love with it, we'll reach out to collaborate, craft it together, and sell it under your name.

How it works
01
Submit your design
Upload your sketch or concept — along with a short description of the vision, the fabric you imagine, the light it was designed for.
02
We review every submission
Solène reviews all submissions personally. If your design speaks to us, you'll hear from us within 6 weeks with an invitation to collaborate.
03
We craft it together
Our atelier brings your vision to life. You're involved in every major decision — fabric, silhouette, finishing. Your name goes on the piece.
04
You earn 40% commission
For every piece sold, you receive 40% of the sale price — plus full design credit, intellectual property rights to your original concept, and a place in our archive.
The Agreement

What we offer
every collaborator

We believe creative work deserves real compensation. Not exposure. Not a token fee. A genuine share of what your design earns, your rights protected, and your name on the garment it became.

40%
Commission
Of every unit sold, transferred to you within 30 days of the sale.
100%
Your IP
You retain full intellectual property rights to your original design concept.
Full
Credit
Your name appears on the garment label, our website, and all press materials.
Free
Production
SOLÈNE covers all material and production costs. You invest only your vision.
40%
Your Commission Per Sale

A piece selling at £2,000 earns you £800 — for every single unit, forever, for as long as it's in production.

The fine print (it's actually fine)
No exclusivity clause — your design concept remains yours to use elsewhere.
No hidden deductions — 40% of the listed sale price, always.
No minimum production run — if we make one piece, you earn on one piece.
Full written agreement before any work begins.
