Fashion East returns to LFW with an AW26 show featuring Jacek Gleba, Mayhew, and newcomer Traiceline Pratt’s GOYAGOMA, Jonathan Anderson makes his opera debut and Dave stars in the new Wales Bonner campaign. 

Fashion East, the talent incubator founded by Lulu Kennedy and Raphaelle Moore, returns to London Fashion Week for Autumn/Winter 2026, presenting a three-designer show powered by Nike and Palace at Manor Place in Elephant and Castle. The lineup brings together Jacek Gleba, Mayhew, and newcomer Traiceline Pratt, debuting his womenswear label GOYAGOMA.

Having dressed the likes of Travis Scott and Justin Bieber, Bahamas-born and London-based Pratt presents a personal vision of luxury grounded in the everyday. GOYAGOMA, launched in April 2025, centres the women he grew up around, using bold colours, inventive proportions, and contrasting textures to tell stories rooted in lived experience.

Returning to Fashion East, Jacek Gleba blends intimacy and movement through soft fabrics, inspired by choreographers like Merce Cunningham and painters such as Patrick Procktor. His final MA collection, Diary, was inspired by the journal of dancer Vaslav Nijinsky.

Mayhew, founded by Louis Mayhew, brings a materially experimental approach, sourcing inspiration through mudlarking, foraging, and beachcombing. His AW26 collection, Come On Over, fuses vintage climbing references with found objects for inventive, personal compositions.

With AW26, Fashion East continues its mission to champion emerging talent, giving a platform to designers pushing boundaries and redefining contemporary fashion. Alumni include Kim Jones, Simone Rocha, Wales Bonner, KNWLS, Roksanda, Marques Almeida, JW Anderson, Olly Schindler, Charles Jeffrey, and more.
