On a Sunday evening in Knightsbridge there was a hum of excitement and anticipation from everyone surrounding the entrance. It was only natural, given that this was Genaro Rivas’ sixth consecutive fashion week. Rivas has always presented collections that were fresh and innovative and his recent collection ‘A Glass to Break’ was no exception.

The queue outside snaked around the corner, leaking onto the streets in colourful streams, all attendees buzzing in designer streetstyle - as if they could take on the catwalk at a moment’s notice if the opportunity struck. Fashion Scout’s AW26 edition of Ones to Watch was already announcing itself as the moment. Seven designers, and one runway that might decide the pressing future of the fashion industry.
