strand

On Saturday 20th September, streetwear's best-dressed and most well-versed streamed into 180 Strand, home of the Yaku SS26 show, or shall we say, experience. Everything about the traditional runway show has been reworked and revolutionised by Yaku Stapleton and his team.

Joshua Ewusie, a London-born designer, who brings Ghanaian heritage into a sharp, contemporary focus. A recent Central Saint Martins MA graduate and current designer in residence at The Kings Foundation with CHANEL, Ewusie aims to transform the textures and traditions of West African craft into modern womenswear that celebrates community, culture, and a distinctly London sensibility.

There is always something surreal about an APUJAN show. This season was no different. The Taiwanese label landed back at London Fashion Week with The Extraordinary Voyage of Captain Peach, a surreal retelling of the Japanese folktale Momotaro.

From Taipei to London was a vibrant celebration of Taiwanese culture, staged at London’s Institute of Contemporary Arts. Spanning everything from garment design to a curated tasting menu by Bao London, the event was commissioned by Taiwan’s Ministry of Culture to spotlight the country’s distinctive fashion scene on a global stage.

Ray Chu’s highly anticipated SS26 presentation in collaboration with Tenga began in a neon-lit Great Hall, shrouded by a slow electronic beat.
