Arc'teryx and Beams Launch FW26 "KOYO" Anniversary Collection

Arc'teryx and Beams have unveiled their Fall/Winter 2026 "KOYO" Anniversary Collection, a collaborative release marking two significant milestones: 25 years of partnership between the two brands and the 50th anniversary of Beams. The collection, named "KOYO" after the Japanese term for the changing colors of autumn leaves, draws aesthetic inspiration from this natural phenomenon. It features a six-piece capsule designed as an interchangeable system, utilizing a color palette that merges Arc'teryx's signature "BLAZE" and "24K" tones with Beams' corporate orange. This color scheme is executed in a distinctive "crazy-pattern" arrangement.

The centerpiece of the "KOYO" collection is the THETA AR Jacket, which revives archive-inspired details from its original 1998 silhouette, showcasing the longevity and evolution of Arc'teryx's design. Complementing the jacket is the Gamma Jacket, a model that Beams has taken a bespoke approach to for the first time in this collaboration. Additionally, the collection introduces the newly developed JOGEN Pants, a cargo trouser designed for functionality and style. The apparel offerings are rounded out by the Gamma 5 Panel Cap and the Kragg Cotton LS Shirt, the latter adorned with graphics that commemorate the history of their joint collaborations.

Beyond apparel, the "KOYO" collection also includes technical gear, specifically the Konseal 15 Backpack. This backpack is detailed with unique orange zipper pulls, a subtle nod to the Beams brand identity. To further celebrate these dual anniversaries, an archival exhibition titled "NOW / THEN" is scheduled to host pop-up events in both New York and Japan, providing a retrospective look at the brands' shared history and creative output.

The Arc'teryx x Beams Fall/Winter 2026 "KOYO" collection is set to launch globally on September 25, 2026. Consumers will be able to purchase the collection through Beams Harajuku, a flagship store for the Japanese retailer, as well as select Arc'teryx brand stores located in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and China. This release highlights a sustained and successful relationship between the outdoor performance brand Arc'teryx and the influential Japanese lifestyle retailer Beams, underscoring their shared commitment to quality, design, and cultural relevance.
