Saul Nash Fall/Winter 2026
For Fall/Winter 2026, Saul Nash turned his gaze towards the transformative power of clothing with a collection titled Masquerade. Inspired by the mimicry and movement of London’s Notting Hill Carnival, the British-Guyanese designer explored how dress becomes a tool for identity, concealment and freedom. The collection asked what it means to project who we are, or who we want to be, through the clothes we wear. Masquerade, in Nash’s hands, became less about disguise and more about revelation, an exploration of how form and function can co-exist within performance.
Nash’s signature fusion of sportswear and tailoring reached a new level of refinement this season. Tracksuits appeared printed with the outline of suits, creating the illusion of structure on soft, technical fabrics. Pinstriped jumpsuits nodded to 1980s London and Milan, while drill jackets with transformable collars blurred the line between workwear and formalwear. Compression tops and laser-etched denim mimicked the look of sculpted muscle, turning fabrication into an act of illusion. Every piece felt engineered for movement, but also for meaning, capturing how contemporary menswear can carry both agility and introspection.
Anchoring the collection was Nash’s first shoe design, the Julien Boot, a martial arts-inspired high-top crafted from mesh and set on a flexible gum sole. The show also previewed the next chapter of his collaboration with Lululemon, which continues to merge performance technology with craftsmanship. In Masquerade, Nash delivered a collection that felt both cerebral and instinctive, using the language of clothing to question how we see ourselves and how we choose to be seen.
