Harris Reed 2026

Here come the Harris Reed brides. And they did not tiptoe. In the freshly reimagined ballroom at Claridge's Hotel, four of them moved down the aisles wrapped in veils the color of magenta lipstick, cerulean sky, and seafoam dreams. This was the debut of Reed’s Fluid Bridal—four silhouettes, four moods, zero interest in playing it safe. There was the Camille, inspired by the sheer, slinky bespoke wedding dress Reed first made for Camille Charrière; a Chantilly lace, crystal-dusted cowl-neck shirt with flared pants that nodded to what Reed himself wore to his wedding; and the Debutante, complete with the house’s signature bubbly fishtail hem. These are brides who want drama, who want fantasy—more mermaid than anything tethered to a fixed gender.

Natasha Zinko 2026

This season, Natasha Zinko did something both totally wild and completely obvious in hindsight: she hired her parents. Oleg and Margharita. Both in their 70s. Full-time, last-minute, no pressure contributors to the collection. In the usual West London studio chaos—machines humming, fabric everywhere, someone always asking where the scissors went—you could find them screwing hardware onto platform combat boots and crocheting sock-boots literally 24 hours before the presentation. Meanwhile, her son Ivan was nearby, putting the final touches on the show notes. Three generations. No boundaries. Very on brand.

Joseph Fall 2026

Joseph is back on the runway. For the first time in almost a decade. Let that sink in for a second. The last show was September 2017—under Louise Trotter, who is now, casually, at Bottega Veneta. A lifetime ago in fashion years. Since then, the company that Joseph—built from a London hairdresser’s into a serious ready-to-wear name in the ’70s and ’80s—has been… let’s say, struggling. Quietly. Persistently. The kind of struggle that doesn’t scream but definitely hums in the background.

Bora Aksu Fall 2026

So. Bora Aksu. Ghosts. Obviously. Not long ago, he was wandering the halls of the George & Dragon—this old 18th-century coaching inn in Buckinghamshire—and honestly, I can picture it so clearly it kind of rattles me. Dim corridors. Creaky floors. That feeling where the air feels… watched. He was looking for his next muse and—oh boy—he found her. A barmaid named Sukie. Two hundred years ago. Beautiful. Desired. And doomed (because of course).

Roksanda Ilincic Fall 2026

This season, Roksanda Ilincic decided not to have a show, “but it comes with exciting news,” she said, “and that is that I’m opening a popup in Sloane Street. Next to Chanel and Pucci. It’s amazing. And the space is huge.” I went to see her in a light-filled penthouse showroom next to the storied Museum of the Home, (set in a series of restored 18th century almshouses) on the Kingsland Road in the East End of London.

Temperley London Fall 2026

For fall 2026, Alice Temperley went straight to Hollywood—old Hollywood. The glossy, smoke-filled, impossibly elegant kind. Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. Greta Garbo. Marlene Dietrich. The icons. “I’m embracing my all-time icons,” she said at a preview, and you could feel that pull toward fantasy, toward drama, toward dressing like life might suddenly turn cinematic.

Khaite Fall 2026

Like it or not (and plenty of people do not), artificial intelligence is not going anywhere. The discourse is loud, the anxiety is real, the creative-industry handwringing is nonstop—but Stacey Bendet? Fully on board. Last season she called the current wave of tech innovation an “inspiration revolution.” This time, she went further and built an entire collection on it, very confidently naming it The Gilded Age.

Alice + Olivia Fall 2026

Kate Barton Fall 2026

Being one of the few genuinely young, emerging designers on the CFDA calendar already puts Kate Barton ahead of the curve. But this season she leaned into that advantage—hard—especially on the tech front. For her fall 2026 appointments, she skipped the traditional showroom shuffle entirely and turned the whole thing into an experiment in augmented reality and AI. Upstairs, guests scrolled through images of the collection on a model set against an AR backdrop, courtesy of Amazon.

Christian Cowan Fall 2026

It was the night before Valentine’s Day, and Christian Cowan had hearts in his eyes. Like, fully. “I just really, really, really love this collection,” he said, and you could tell he meant it in that slightly stunned way—like he surprised himself. He talked about approaching it differently than anything he’s done before, which, coming from him, feels both dramatic and… kind of brave. The biggest shift? Time. Actual time. The luxury of not sprinting headfirst into the abyss. Standing in a stairwell in a West Chelsea studio before the show, Cowan admitted it’s never been harder to be a young, independent brand right now, with the cost of everything—production, rent, air, existence—going up, up, up.
