Burberry: A Lesson in Understated Elegance
While some designers leaned into extravagance, Burberry took a different approach, championing quiet luxury. Under Daniel Lee’s direction, the Fall/Winter 2025 collection showcased impeccable craftsmanship through rich textures and sophisticated tailoring. The show, hosted at Tate Britain, opened with an effortlessly refined oat-colored ensemble—featuring a cropped jacket, structured trousers, and a flowing fringed scarf. As the collection unfolded, deep earthy hues emerged, complemented by supple leather coats, ornate brocade pieces, and sculpted outerwear that redefined modern sophistication.
Stefan Cooke: A Return to Pure Form
Following a period of introspection, Stefan Cooke made an impactful comeback with “Altitude,” a collection dedicated to precision and authenticity. “We stripped everything back to its core to focus on what truly defines us,” Cooke revealed. This season’s designs blurred the lines between menswear and womenswear, prioritizing clean silhouettes and exquisite tailoring while embracing an effortless, modern aesthetic.
Harris Reed: A Gilded Theatrical Fantasy
Harris Reed once again delivered a spectacle with his Fall/Winter 2025-2026 collection, “Gilded.” With six months of meticulous craftsmanship behind it, the collection was a grandiose display of hand-painted detailing, intricate embroidery, and avant-garde 3D printing techniques. Embellished in gold, each sculptural silhouette evoked regal defiance, marrying historical opulence with a daring contemporary edge.
Simone Rocha: Nostalgia with a Twist
Simone Rocha’s latest collection, presented at Goldsmiths’ Hall, wove together delicate memories of childhood and traditional school attire. Layering sheer tulle over sharply tailored pieces, Rocha balanced innocence with power, proving once again her ability to translate nostalgia into avant-garde fashion.
