For Autumn/Winter 2026, Emilia Wickstead tapped into the rebellious spirit of Fano Messan, the 1920s Paris creative who challenged convention through the way she dressed. Inspired by Messan’s embrace of androgyny as a form of access and autonomy, Wickstead reimagined tailoring with a modern edge. Full, sweeping skirts brought drama, slouchy leather jackets toughened up feminine silhouettes, and suits arrived with exaggerated proportions.

The second installment of Foday Dumbuya’s Osmosis trilogy continued its exploration of migration—this time through textiles. From the outset, it was clear the garments would rise to the scale of the staging. This was a collection grounded in meaning: textiles moving across borders, shifting and adapting, yet carrying an indelible history. Dumbuya offered an optimistic vision of that history surviving through clothing—a celebration of immigration at a moment when such a statement feels not only resonant, but necessary.
