A QUIET CELEBRATION OF DISGUISE AND DELIGHT

Every collection begins in its own rhythm, yet it always starts with something small that grows into a larger idea rooted in our DNA. It might be a colour that lingers in the mind, a story shared around the table, or a sketch that slowly evolves into a feeling we struggle to describe. For SS26, that first spark came from the playful, strange and magical world of masks, carnivals and colour, a world where identity feels fluid and imagination quietly takes the lead.


We were inspired by artists who explore identity through costume, performance and bold visual storytelling, such as James Ensor, Genieve Figgis and Frank Stella. From masked carnival scenes to expressive sculptural forms, their work reflects the joy of transformation. They capture that brief moment of becoming someone else, or perhaps simply a more vibrant version of yourself. This delicate space between fantasy and reality, between celebration and stillness, became the starting point for Twisted Mirage, a story about quiet confidence and personal expression with a subtle touch of playfulness.

During the design process, contrast revealed itself again and again. Soft met sharp, minimal met bold, structure met spontaneity. Silhouettes twist and curve in unexpected ways, enriched with layered prints and patterns that feel light and curious. Some garments feel clean and open, inviting interpretation, while others carry movement and texture reminiscent of colour and fabric shifting in warm summer air. Colour remains central to our identity, with vivid tones bringing energy and joy, balanced by muted hues and calm textures that add depth and refinement.


Texture and tactility were carefully considered to give each piece its own character. Layered fabrics and thoughtful details transform garments into small works of art. Stripes interact with geometric lines, shapes bend and stretch into new forms, and silhouettes suggest motion even in stillness. Twisted Mirage speaks to those who find magic in everyday moments. It is about dressing to feel more like yourself. A quiet rebellion. A gentle reminder that joy can be subtle and that personal style is at its strongest when it follows no rules but your own.
