In true British style, Sinead Gorey’s Fall/Winter 2026 show took us to the pub. A different kind of afterparty, the pub is where the night begins, and inevitably ends. Staged inside The Crypt in Clerkenwell, the set was complete with sticky pub surfaces, pints and pool tables.
The familiar setting was backed by a soundtrack of remixed Oasis tunes and Pulp’s “Common People” as models picked up a bottle, took a swig and strutted down the “pub” floor. As always, Gorey’s muse sits somewhere between 2010’s nostalgia, punk and Victorian tailoring. This season landed on a gritty result that somehow felt very familiar yet entirely new.
Corsetry and bustled silhouettes nodded to heritage shapes and added femininity, while bonded lycras, metallic finishes and plenty of metal hardware gave the looks a futuristic, party-girl essence. There were also lots of military nods as we’ve seen cropping up across other collections, with Napoleon-style jackets and braiding on shoulders. This is truly an armour for the modern-day party girl.
To take it one step further, Gorey partnered with beer brand Desperados, with custom bottle cap accessories such as earrings and hardware details clipped onto garments. “Nothing beats being wedged around a sticky table with your girls on a Friday, pint in hand, pretending you’re good at pool,” shares Gorey. This is an ode to a more mature British girlhood, the one who knows exactly where the night will take her and is unbothered by messy hair and lipstick stains.
