AGRO Studio SS27

At London Fashion Week, AGRO Studio reminded us that fashion is at its most compelling when it refuses to sit still. Designers George Oxby and Angus Cockram unveiled Glass Body, a collection that explored transparency, distortion and the delicious tension between fragility and form.

Staged at the brutalist Collins Music Hall, the show felt like stepping into a world where the body was both exposed and reimagined. Sheer tulle and delicate lace met sculpted corsetry, dropped waists and exaggerated volumes, creating silhouettes that seemed to shift with every movement. There was a beautiful contradiction at play; softness with structure, romance with a distinctly subversive edge.

What made the collection particularly intriguing was its treatment of materials. Thousands of antique and discarded buttons were worked into garments, creating visual distortion across translucent layers. Dusty purples, muted blues and cooler tones lent the pieces an almost otherworldly quality, while references to ballet, historical dress and 1980s sportswear kept the collection grounded in a wonderfully eclectic fashion vocabulary.

And yet, for all its technical ambition, Glass Body never lost sight of the pleasure of getting dressed. Corsetry and couture level construction sat alongside sportswear influences, making the collection feel less like an exercise in historical reference and more like a conversation between past and present. Not everything was designed to be easy, and that was precisely the point.

AGRO Studio continues to carve out a space where craftsmanship meets experimentation, where beauty can be a little strange, a little undone, and all the more interesting for it. In a season full of statements, Glass Body offered something worth lingering over, a reminder that fashion doesn't simply dress the body. It changes how we see it. And of course, we all need tutus... immediately.
