LABRUM Fall 2026

At LABRUM, Foday Dumbuya continues to use fashion as a form of storytelling. Following last season’s “Osmosis” collection, which explored heritage and identity across continents, the Fall/Winter 2026 presentation deepened that conversation. The show placed textiles at the heart of the narrative, positioning them as living records of migration and memory. Every fabric, from raw linen to metallic weave, became a document of shared history, charting the designer’s ongoing study of cultural exchange.

The opening look, a sharp reinterpretation of a military uniform, announced Dumbuya’s focus on structure and symbolism. Each piece felt steeped in meaning, particularly the intricate garments created in collaboration with Indian artisans, which reflected LABRUM’s cross-continental ethos. Head-to-toe camel linen ensembles were styled with the brand’s upcoming Adidas collaboration, merging craft with performance. Lightweight, sweat-resistant separates in muted beige and green balanced storytelling with function, while passport-stamped trousers literalised the notion of movement, tracing invisible routes across borders.

As the show progressed, familiar codes were reshaped. Canadian tuxedos appeared with exposed shoulders, plaid suiting carried a quietly rebellious energy, and shell-embellished masks lent the collection a ritualistic undertone. Under the runway lights, flashes of metallic texture brought a contemporary pulse to heritage forms. LABRUM’s Fall/Winter 2026 collection served as both reflection and reminder: that cloth is never just material, but a medium through which people, places and histories remain connected.
