DILARA FINDIKOGLU

'CAGE OF INNOCENCE'

Where purity becomes power, and the cage is the canvas.

Spring/Summer 2026 

​​

London — Dilara Findikoğlu returns for Spring 2026 with a collection titled Cage of Innocent, exploring the tension between confinement and purity, strength and vulnerability. In her signature vision, Dilara weaves Gothic romance and post-punk revolt into garments that feel like both armor and confession.

​

At the centre of Cage of Innocent lies the paradox: how does one remain pure when caged? The collection reframes innocence not as fragility, but as a zone of resistance — a space where identity is both protected and weaponized. Corsetry, quilting, mesh and leather interlock, creating structured silhouettes that constrain while revealing. Lace is layered with latex, chiffon floats over steel cage boning, and delicate embroidery pulses through industrial hardware.

​

The palette leans sharply: alabaster white, iron gray, obsidian black, with flashes of blood-red and bruised plum. Accessories echo the theme — collars, harnesses, cuffs — designed not as adornment but as statements of code and containment.

Beauty is carried into the narrative: skin washed pale, eyes hollowed in smoke, lips a blur between bite and bleached innocence. Hair flows but is bound. Nails claw. The models traverse the space like specters of purity under duress.

​

Set in a minimal, black-box environment, the staging emphasizes tension. Movement, music, shadows — all conspiring to place the body at the centre of rebellion. In Cage of Innocent, Dilara Findikoğlu claims innocence as a frontier, a weapon forged in the cracks of control.
