Charlie Constantinou fall 2026
Charlie Constantinou’s return to London Fashion Week feels like a designer settling into his rhythm. A graduate of Central Saint Martins and a recipient of the British Fashion Council NEWGEN initiative, he has built his reputation on a distinct visual language that merges futurism with functionality. This season, his third under the NEWGEN umbrella, marks an evolution. Where his previous work leaned into the drama of apocalypse and survival, his Fall/Winter 2026 collection finds clarity in uniformity. It is a meditation on discipline and adaptability, borrowing from the codes of 18th and 19th-century military dress while reimagining them for a generation in flux.
Constantinou’s garments bridge the gap between concept and wearability. Recycled tweed coats, metallic outerwear, and braided harnesses are shaped with purpose, built for movement and change. Traditional military coats become sculptural through skewed closures and armor-like inserts, while hoodies arrive layered and deconstructed, softened by detachable shearling hoods. His palette of greys, greens, blues, purples, and reds grounds the chaos in something quietly poetic. There is a sense of endurance here, a reflection of how fashion can still imagine the future while preparing us for it.
