Walking into the space it felt like civilization was finally forming its foundation. And at the base of all civilizations are ideologies that were brought to new lands and planted to take root in the formation of new societies. This space felt less explorative and adventurous than previous seasons and took on a more formative and obedient atmosphere.
Read MoreI love it when I run into friends at shows and they give me the most memorable one liners. And at this show, it was Alvaro who left me with "This is the life we CHOSE...!!!" We were speaking about how go-go-go the week has already been and we took a moment to renew our vows to this fashion life by adopting this new mantra. As we took a minute and looked around we commented on how it looks like we were attending a fabulous fashion funeral and we didn't even know why exactly yet.
Read MorePoet-Lab began as a proposition, fashion as a workshop of thought. And Inside the Lab felt exactly that; a designer interrogating the systems that define refinement and then offering clothing that privileges intention over ornament.
Read MoreMaking her seasonal debut on the LFW schedule, Clara Chu presented her AW26 accessories collection during London Fashion Week, staging a presentation that favoured intimacy and interaction over theatrical runway spectacle, an apt choice for a designer whose pieces beg to be touched.
Read MoreThere’s a warm, slightly theatrical hush that descends over London Fashion Week when a designer chooses sentiment over spectacle and Maximilian Raynor’s AW26 show, titled “Post Me One Last Kiss,” did exactly that. The collection arrived like a love letter; intimate, slightly camp, and impeccably staged.
Read MoreWhat made the presentation resonate was its refusal to flatten into a single mood. According to the house’s own notes and press coverage of the show, the collection drew inspiration from the diverse personalities Fournié encountered in Paris, from the northern suburbs to the center of the city, translating those everyday observations into a wardrobe of strong silhouettes, rich surfaces, and distinct attitudes.
Read MoreThere are moments at couture week when the room hushes not because of spectacle but because of quiet conviction; clothes that arrive with a history stitched into their seams. Rahul Mishra’s SS26 collection, “Alchemy,” delivered precisely that, a contemplative translation of elemental philosophy into exquisitely hand made clothes that felt less like fashion statements and more like meditations.
Read MoreTakafumi Sekine’s vision was anchored in the idea that beauty can exist inside chaos, and that human imperfection holds its own kind of elegance. Rather than smoothing over contradiction, Meagratia leaned into it, using clothing to reflect the shifting nature of the heart and the uneasy grace of living with conflicting emotions.
Read MoreThis was the kind of collection that reminds us fashion can be clever without losing heart. Doublet has long been one of those labels that rewards close looking, and AW26 continued that approach with a concept that was both intelligent and oddly moving.
Read MoreThis was less about headlines and more about a mood, how clothing can make ordinary life feel slightly more ceremonial. If AW26 proves anything, it’s that SSSTEIN knows how to make coats that feel indispensable, the kind of garments people will reach for year after year.
Read MoreWhen Charles Jeffrey returns he does it in a way that asks you to lean in. For AW26, Loverboy’s collection, "Thistle", was less a runway and more a full on concert (that I did not want to end). A pagan punk rite staged deep in the bowels of Dover Street Market Paris, where canvases painted by the designer wrapped the space and friends moved through the room wearing clothes that felt equal parts armor and confession.
Read MoreThe brand explicitly channels Édouard Glissant’s ideas about creolization, making its work as much cultural project as fashion label, and positioning menswear as a site for hybridity and narrative.
Read MoreBeyond the runway theatrics, Nouchi announced LGN OF, a positioning of OnlyFans as an extension of the brand’s creative output and direct channel to fans. For him it’s about control and intimacy. LGN OF is a space to share erotic readings, ASMR and behind the scenes content in a way that traditional social media doesn’t allow.
Read MoreSYSTEM’s showing felt like another proof point in a maturing wave of Korean brands staking serious claims on the global menswear map. The creative direction credited in local coverage to the label’s Paris identity and its in house leadership leaned into a hybrid language of tailoring and underculture references, an approach that reads as both commercially savvy and thoughtfully attuned to the contemporary customer.
Read MoreVisually, the collection balanced bright color, technical fabrics, and precise tailoring with utilitarian details and modular styling. The result was a wardrobe that felt dynamic and transformable, as though each piece could be reworked, reshaped, or worn in multiple ways.
Read Moref you've ever wondered what it looks like for girls to get ready for a night out, now you don't have to wonder anymore. Paula Canovas del Vas brought that experience straight onto the streets of Paris, quite literally, parking her vignette truck outside a quintessentially Parisian café.
Read MoreThe horse, a symbol of speed, freedom, and vitality, galloped through every seam and silhouette, transforming the traditional saying, “the horse unstill” into an ode to perpetual motion, inner drive, and the harmony of grace and power.
Read MoreWhen your friend invites you to a designer re-see, you absolutely MUST go. It is private, it is exclusive and it comes with delectable snacks and models that stay with you for as many pictures as your heart desires. There is no check-in anxiety at the entrance, no crowds to push through or seats to fight for. There is even a personal curation of the entire collection by a very knowledgeable Sasha. This absolutely is the most luxurious way to see a collection.
Read MoreAnd this season, Leitner brings a major pop culture twist through an unexpected yet genius collaboration with Paul Frank. Julius the Monkey (and yes, Bunny Girl too) make their comeback; only cooler, cheekier and infinitely more fashion.
Read MoreFor SS26, BERNADETTE presents “Summer Estate”, a collection steeped in playfulness, girlhood, and nostalgia. The show transported us to a sun dappled seaside home, where every room and garden corner held memory.
