SS26. Behind The Collection.

Spring Summer 26 is influenced by a mix of ideas. Different things noticed at different points: travel, exhibitions, working days and ordinary moments. Designed to be worn in endless combinations, depending on weather, occasion or mood.

Familiar shapes return season after season, some reintroduced after time away, others settling into place as future staples.

As always, fabric is the starting point. Fresh, crisp cottons in suiting fabrics and more casual finishes, alongside linen blends, light knits, and lightweight denims. Breathable fabrics are chosen for their necessity in the warmer weather, and for their subtle nod to Californian mid-century architecture, where breeze blocks let air flow freely, while bringing interest and aesthetic too.

Patterned shirts are a go-to for the warmer seasons, in both short and long sleeve options in prints and patterns that can be worn boldly or styled in a simple, subdued way. A jungle-themed toile de Jouy as a full print and in subtler embroidered details, a resist-dyed, block-printed fabric, plus a kantha-stitched floral on an Indian khadi cotton base, a true artisanal fabric.

Pattern and textures appear elsewhere too; from zigzag knitted polos to a toile-printed pair of trousers, checks seen in multiple iterations, and slubby, characterful cotton blends.

And as for colour, there is a base of blue and cool neutrals—sand, grey, antique white—lifted with bright green and yellow.

This hazy summer feeling is reflected in the set design for our photoshoot, referencing the dappled effect of breeze blocks, taking the inspiration for SS26 full circle.
