UJOH AW26

UJOH’s latest Paris Fashion Week outing leans into what the brand does best: sharp, intelligent tailoring softened by a distinctly human sense of ease.

CFCL AW26

What stood out immediately was the balance between fluid drape and sculptural structure. The collection’s representative categories moved from felt-inspired tailoring to voluminous coats, delicate foil treatments, and fringe-heavy occasion pieces, each one grounded in CFCL’s signature knitwear language.

BOYAROVSKAYA AW26

What makes BOYAROVSKAYA compelling is its refusal to treat minimalism as a visual shorthand for simplicity. Instead, the brand uses reduction as a way to sharpen presence, allowing construction, silhouette, and movement to do the speaking.

TIME AW26

There was also a notable softness in the brand’s approach to power dressing. Instead of sharp contrast or overt drama, the collection used layering to create movement and dimension, allowing each look to feel built rather than simply styled.

Shiatzy Chen AW26

Shiatzy Chen’s AW26 presentation at Paris Fashion Week unfolded like a quiet conversation between heritage and release, where East-West references met a distinctly contemporary sense of movement.

MAXHOSA AW26

What made the presentation especially compelling was its sense of movement. The collection drew from music, rhythm, and dance, reinforcing the idea that fashion can carry memory as much as it carries silhouette.

Lovelouder AW26

LOVELOUDER’s AW26 season arrived with the kind of confidence that feels both considered and instinctive. Across London and Paris Fashion Week, the brand unfolded two distinct yet connected chapters, each shaped by mythology, emotional clarity, and a deeply modern sense of identity.

Reverie by Caroline Hu AW26

At the center of the collection was an intimate reference point: a worn towel Hú has kept since childhood, transformed in her imagination into a vessel of comfort, nostalgia, and emotional permanence.

Anrealage AW26

The show unfolded like a meditation on what it means to be seen in a world increasingly shaped by screens, data, and digital doubles.

Maitrepierre AW26

The clothes leaned into a restrained palette and tactile materiality, but the styling never felt minimal in spirit. Stripes suggested intersecting streets, winter jackets borrowed from the language of the polo shirt, and a ball gown was recast with athletic ease.

DEMOO AW26

Demoo has long occupied a distinct space within avant-garde fashion. Neither aggressively conceptual nor commercially diluted, the label instead works through nuance; proportion, shadow, texture, and movement.

Zomer AW26

Now in its fifth official appearance on the official PFW calendar, Zomer continues to emerge as one of Paris Fashion Week’s most compelling independent labels. The brand’s growing recognition through both the ANDAM Prize and LVMH Prize conversations signals that the industry is paying attention.

Vautrait AW26

Perhaps the most compelling aspect of Vautrait AW26 was its emotional ambiguity. The collection referenced heritage without belonging to any single geography or archive. It evoked familiarity while remaining deliberately difficult to place.

Petra Fagerstrom AW26

I need to see if I can make it work with my lenticular pleating," she told me while showing me her second-hand princess pleater bolted to her Smithfield Market studio worktop. The result? Garments that seem like "fragments of memory coming into focus".

John Richmond AW26

For The Fashion Edit reader, this was the kind of show that reminds you why London remains such a compelling fashion capital; it can hold chaos and elegance in the same frame.

Charlie Constantinou AW26

This collection screams dynamic individuality within a functional core, perfect for the modern wearer navigating extreme environments or urban grit. In an industry chasing trends, Constantinou's commitment to heritage craftsmanship fused with futuristic tech feels like a wardrobe revolution; resilient, green, and unapologetically personal.

OCTI AW26

In a season when many labels are riffing on theatrical gesture, OCTI’s AW26 feels quietly radical; a sustained study of material, sustainability and scale.

LIBEROWE AW26

Liberowe’s carefully constructed mix of tailoring and ornament has resonated with boutiques and department stores: the label now appears on global stockists and in the buying programs that helped bring it to LFW’s official schedule.

YAKU AW26

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.

Rafael Azevendo AW26

At 20, Azevedo has already made emotional storytelling the spine of his brand. "O Que Fica" was a fourteen-look meditation on loss: how grief stains and clings, how it alters movement and silhouette.
