What Fashion Month Told Us About the Future of Luxury
From NYFW to Paris, the most compelling stories of SS27 weren’t about spectacle — they were about what endures.

September always arrives with a particular electricity in the fashion world. But SS27 felt different. Across four cities and nearly four weeks of shows, a quieter revolution was underway — one that had been building for years, finally arriving with the confidence of inevitability.
The most compelling collections weren’t the loudest. They were the ones asking harder questions: Where does this fabric come from? Who made it? What remains when the trend cycle moves on? These aren’t new questions, but this season, the answers arrived with new urgency — and new artistry.
LuxeTerre was watching. What follows is our edit of the designers who moved us most — not because they were the most photographed, but because they were building something that matters.
New York · NYFW · September 2026
Conner Ives
New YorkBritish-born, New York-based — Conner Ives made his NYFW debut for SS27, and it read as a homecoming. Titled “Across the Pond,” the collection threaded American sportswear archetypes through his signature upcycled lens: deadstock collegiate jerseys, repurposed silk slips, a recurring motif of the transatlantic crossing. The show felt like a love letter to both places, and to the garments that survive every move.

New YorkSandy Liang’s SS27 was built on a central contradiction that only she could pull off: “Princesses hike too.” Satin slip dresses over technical gorpcore layers, ballet ribbons laced through trail shoes, tulle skirts tucked into hiking boots. The Lower East Side romanticism that defines her brand met genuine outdoor function — and somehow, the collision felt completely natural.

Sól Hansdóttir
LondonThe Icelandic designer’s SS27 LFW presentation was a lesson in restraint that somehow felt radical. Hansdóttir worked exclusively with deadstock fabrics and GOTS-certified materials, building garments with a sculptural clarity that made the constraints invisible. The palette was drawn from the Icelandic landscape — lava black, glacial white, the grey-green of lichen — and the silhouettes carried a quiet monumentality to match.
solhansdottir.com →Vin + Omi
LondonVin + Omi’s SS27 collection was built from materials most designers wouldn’t consider: a wood-nettle hybrid fibre, salvaged materials, recycled plastic transformed into something that moved like silk. The silhouettes were ungendered and architectural — pieces that felt simultaneously ancient and impossible. Their LFW show confirmed what they’ve long insisted: sustainability and spectacle are not opposites.
vinandomi.com →Leo Prothmann
LondonLeo Prothmann arrived at LFW with a constraint that became a creative engine: 50kg of deadstock denim, no more. The collection that emerged — structured jackets, fluid trousers, sculptural shirting — had the focused intensity of a designer who knows that limits clarify. Each piece was numbered. When the fabric ran out, the collection was complete. This is what circularity looks like when it’s also a philosophy.

Dhruv Kapoor
MilanDhruv Kapoor’s SS27 MFW collection was anchored in a single, precise idea: stillness. Working with the lungi and sari as deconstructed starting points — garments built around drape, around the body in repose — Kapoor translated these forms into contemporary silhouettes via silk bonded with jersey, fluid tailoring that held its shape without restricting movement. In a season of maximalism, this kind of material intelligence felt like the most radical gesture of all.
Dhruv Kapoor appears in both the LuxeTerre Women’s and Men’s SS27 edits.

Another Tomorrow
ParisParis Fashion Week closed the SS27 season, and Another Tomorrow was the edit’s final word. Vanessa Barboni Hallik’s brand has built its entire identity around supply chain transparency — every piece traceable, every material verified — and the PFW collection was the most confident expression of that commitment yet. Clean architectural tailoring in deadstock wools and traceable silks, each piece accompanied by its full material passport. This is the version of luxury LuxeTerre was built to champion: beautiful, accountable, and completely unwilling to hide its working.
