Hector Maclean SS26

Once upon a time, in a London crypt Hector Maclean unleashed a heroine. Not just any heroine, but one forged in fire, light, and self confrontation. The Girl Who Ate the Dragon, his SS26 collection, translated personal battle into couture poetry.

Ray Chu SS26

What makes SS26 deeply compelling is its sensory layering. Sustainability isn’t an afterthought, it’s the root system. Chu continues his commitment to mindful creation by fusing upcycled, plant based fabrics with next generation materials.

YAKU SS26

As we stepped back into the real world, it became clear that this wasn’t merely a fashion presentation. It was a family gathering, a landscape of memory stitched into motion.

Just when you think Completedworks could not possibly outdo itself, it produces Jerry Hall.

LABRUM SS26

I was completely beyond words and that was a terrible predicament to be in when one is a writer. But this extravaganza of a show was just too much to take in all at once. I have never been so culturally imbued in my entire life.

Mark Fast SS26

The palette runs pale stone, frosted pink, muted yellow, cream and nude, colors softened and weathered like polished glass shaped by the sea. These tones don’t shout; they glow quietly, allowing texture and form to do the emotional heavy lifting.​​

Keburia SS26

The collection is a merge of worlds where inspiration is pulled from both history and the digital realm, brought to life through bold silhouettes and sculptural textures.  There’s a constant push‑pull between severity and play.

Prototypes SS26

Series09 is described as “a memory of an inclusive and welcoming Britain,” a phrase that reads almost like a question when set against the backdrop of anti immigration rallies and counter protests that filled London’s streets just days before. Prototypes’ answer is not to retreat into rose tinted nationalism, but to confront the British flag and its loaded visual language head on.

KidSuper SS26

PFW gifted us many unforgettable moments this season, but one show soared above them all, literally. Colm Dillane’s KidSuper SS26 presentation, The Boy Who Jumped the Moon, wasn’t just a fashion show. It was a parable, a bedtime story come to life, stitched in fabric and imagination under the grand ceilings of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs. Without hesitation I’ll say it, this was my favorite show of all time.

Camperlab SS26

This season, Camperlab (yes, that Camperlab), under the visionary direction of Achilles Ion Gabriel, unveiled its SS26 collection, marking a compelling new chapter for the brand and a bold step away from its experimental roots in footwear to a full-fledged fashion label.

Ouest SS26

Lights dim, projectors whirred (in reality we were outside but use your imagination), and suddenly we were no longer in Paris but at a mid-century drive-in theater, complete with popcorn in hand.

Kidill SS26

Paris was its usual restless, impatient self as the crowd swelled outside the Kidill SS26 show. The heat had already taken its toll, I noticed one woman who seemed to surrender to it altogether. Stepping out of her Uber in nothing more than stockings and lingerie. And yet, as I watched her stride past us with a kind of defiant insouciance, I couldn’t help but think, isn’t this precisely the sort of unfiltered authenticity that belongs here?

Etudes SS26

The Études Studio SS26 show at Paris Fashion Week, titled "Surroundings," was a deeply poetic exploration of the artist's relationship with their environment and wardrobe. Held at the Palais de Tokyo, the collection reflected on Land Art, using this concept to examine the marks left on landscapes and clothing alike.

Ujoh AW25

UJOH’s AW25 collection unfolded as a nostalgic yet fiercely modern ode to the subversive spirit of Japanese high schoolers in the ‘90s. Designers Aco and Mitsuru Nishizaki, masters of deconstructed tailoring, reimagined the school uniform as a canvas for self-expression, blending rigidity with fluidity. Oversized cardigans draped over asymmetric skirts defied conformity, while leg warmers, echoing the era’s iconic loose socks, whispered of adolescent rebellion.

HAYELI AW25

The debut of HAYELI’s AW25 collection was a philosophical inquiry draped in liquid organza and laser-cut illusions. The question posed by designers Armine Ohanyan and artist Tigran Tsitoghdzyan lingered in the air like a refrain... Are we the image we see in our reflection, or the one we invent?.

Shiatzy Chen AW25

Miao silversmithing inspired detachable brooches (sun, butterflies, dragons) and cascading silver-chain necklaces. Studded leather bib tops and quilted jackets echoed the tribe’s talismanic aesthetic, while mandarin collars gleamed with metallic precision. Ten one-off bags, each dedicated to a Miao embroidery technique, stole the show. The Hobo and Secret-zip crossbody offered playful versatility, but the true stars were the embroidered classics, their panels stitched with "histories one by one".

Paula Canovas Del Vas AW25

Canovas transformed the embassy’s dining hall into a linguistic battleground. Models clad in oversized lime-paper letters rearranged them into English, French, and Spanish phrases, blurring the lines between fashion and performance art. The collection itself was a riot of her signature bold hues and graphic play consisting of lace-up bustiers inspired by Converse sneakers (adorably accessorized with flowers by her mother) and shirting reinvented with furry cuffs and reversible silhouettes.

Vautrait AW25

"While creating this collection, I understood there is no closure. Perhaps this is why one collection always follows another, there is never a finish line, never a definitive answer, only the question that persists. It may shift in angle or narrative, but it remains the same at its core, a question that will never find resolution." Yonathan Carmel

ATLEIN AW25

Antonin Tron’s ATLEIN Fall Winter 2025 collection, unveiled at the Palais de Tokyo, was a study in sartorial sculpture. Drawing from prehistoric Venus figurines; symbols of fertility, power, and the female form, Tron reimagined the body as a canvas for architectural drapery.

Florentina Leitner AW25

Paris Fashion Week’s enfant terrible, Florentina Leitner, turned the American Church in Paris into a fever dream of preppy rebellion with her AW25 collection, “2 Cool 4 School”. The Austrian designer’s signature whimsy met alien futurism in a riot of puffed sleeves, sequined mini skirts, and frilly 3D-flower schoolgirl blazers as if "Princess Diaries" was reimagined by a cyberpunk stylist.
