“The FW26–27 fabric direction brings together heritage references, expressive surfaces, and adaptive material developments. Materials move between familiar craft-based textures and engineered constructions, with focus placed on weave, handle, and surface finish. Surfaces appear worn, weathered, and tactile, emphasizing process-driven aesthetics over uniform finishes. The direction highlights experimentation with colour absorption and texture variation, positioning washes as a key tool for creating dimensional and expressive fabric surfaces.”
