FLAIR SS26 | IGNITE & UNFOLD

Fashion Week 2026 / FLAIR - SS26

FLAIR | SS26

At London Fashion Week, Flair returned with its dual collectives — UNFOLD and IGNITE — staged at One Great George Street in Westminster. Less about spectacle, more about platform, Flair continues its mission to give space to the next generation of designers rewriting global fashion codes.

The evening unfolded in two acts: UNFOLD at 7pm, IGNITE at 9pm. Both lineups spanned continents — from London to Kosovo, China to the Philippines — drawing on cultural memory, digital craft, and personal narratives.

What struck most was not uniformity but contrast: moments of fragility followed by statements of armour, romance against structure, and the persistent urge to merge heritage with the now. It wasn’t always polished, but that’s the point. Flair thrives in friction, in the raw energy of designers still carving their language.

Among the evening’s voices: Fée Muse, Mond, Labentiné, Anna Cashmere, Yklla, Weve2050, Tang Chi Couture, Etnik Shala, Linxi Zhu, Maggie Wang, Besë, Fan Pan, Psy Lau, and Jean Louie Castillo. Each left their own accent on the runway — from sculptural tailoring to fluid draping, from tradition recut to futurism in progress.

For LUMEN, not every look resonated with our language — but that’s the beauty of collectives like Flair. They remind us that fashion is not a single story, but a chorus of attempts, failures, breakthroughs, and sparks. Some designers offered quiet poetry; others chased noise. Together, they formed a restless snapshot of what’s next.
