A wave of resilience is sweeping across the world, a collective drive for action, change, and sustainable solutions. We turn inward while reaching out to each other, searching collectively for what is possible. Striving not only to endure but to transform, to take hold of what can be reshaped. Emerging designers and established labels alike are navigating these challenges, exploring ways to assert identity, communicate vision, inspire change, and make a meaningful impact wherever they can. They channel a rebellious energy, sounding a wake-up call, while crafting garments that serve as shields, whether as literal armour, protective cocoon, or metaphorical protection for the future.

Menswear messages S/S 2026 –designers breathe new life into the classics through inventive and radical interventions: silhouettes that skew the ordinary, fabrics that surprise us in their initial incongruence and looks that move dramatically toward the feminine.
Womenswear messages S/S 2026 – this season, the catwalks mirror the complexity of the world around us. Everything feels possible—whether luminous and filled with bright hope or shadowed by dark, chaotic disorder.
Fabric messages A/W 26/27 – this season is all about is about industrial rationalization not innovative embellishment as fabric producers struggle to keep costs down without sacrificing quality.
03 Preview S/S 2027
Womenswear preview S/S 2027 – fashion is about industrial rationalization not innovative embellishment as fabric producers struggle to keep costs down without sacrificing quality.
Menswear preview S/S 2027– designers navigate the interplay of boldness and restraint, breaking boundaries while honouring nuance, whether in playful tailoring or considered everyday wear.
Knitwear preview S/S 2027 – rapturous freeform shapings see a provocative sensuality contrasted with an outdoorsy explorer vibe, while classicism is grounded in fresh and crisp neutrals in the finest films and thready veils.
Casual, athleisure and denim preview S/S 2027 – where innovation collides with tradition, and what is carried forward meets what is left behind, new visions are born.
04 Inspiration
Material futures – before sustainability became a trend in the fashion industry, indigenous communities around the world had already mastered the foundation of slow fashion.
Crafting the future –a new generation of designers is moving beyond the language of logos and status symbols, creating instead narratives rooted in cultural heritage, lived memories, and the need to piece together a portrait of belonging.
