Fashion Scout’s co-director Biljana Poposka Roberts described the season as “fashion without borders,” and the phrase felt less like a tagline than an observation of fact. Seven designers presented, arriving from Spain, Armenia, India, South Korea, the UK, and points in between, each channelling radically different cultural memories through the shared grammar of cut fabric and moving bodies. The showcase has history worth noting: past Ones To Watch alumni include Eudon Choi, Phoebe English, Susan Fang, and Maximilian Raynor, all of whom used this runway as a first serious stage before establishing
internationally recognised labels. As founder Martyn Roberts put it, the platform’s commitment remains “to provide designers with a professionally produced, internationally visible platform that allows their work to stand confidently on the global stage.” Approaching its twentieth anniversary this September, Fashion Scout enters a landmark year, and the AW26 edition felt like a deliberate statement of curatorial ambition — global in reach, uncompromising in its expectation that craft should speak louder than spectacle.
