Vivz World’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection at London Fashion Week (LFW) was not just a runway show—it was a celebration of collective creativity, where a curated selection of designers came together to present an eclectic and audacious mix of textures, colors, and silhouettes. With a strong emphasis on boundary-pushing fashion, this multi-designer showcase was an artistic journey that encapsulated everything from bold experimentation to elegant sophistication. The designers—Lau Sin Yi, Core, Chona Bacaoco Milano, Leo Norma, Nandita Mahtani, Púcaí, Satomi, and El Beso—each brought their unique signature to the runway, creating a rich tapestry of styles that both contrasted and complemented each other.
A Feast for the Eyes: Color, Texture, and Drama
The first thing that stood out was the vibrancy of the show’s color palette. Lau Sin Yi opened the show with a striking series of bold, abstract patterns and vivid hues—electric neon, deep purples, and fiery reds—which immediately set the tone for what was to follow. These striking combinations were paired with soft, fluid fabrics and intricate, hand-crafted details that gave a sense of both chaos and harmony. The color block aesthetics were reimagined with each designer’s interpretation, with Core offering clean, minimalist approaches in monochrome blacks and whites, while Chona Bacaoco Milano’s use of tropical hues and floral patterns evoked a sense of whimsical elegance.
Dramatic Silhouettes and Sculptural Designs
One of the most compelling aspects of this group show was the return of sculptural silhouettes, a hallmark of the designers involved. Leo Norma, known for her avant-garde and structured designs, delivered bold, oversized garments that defied conventional fashion norms. Her wide-leg trousers and sharply tailored jackets featured dramatic pleating and angular cuts, creating an almost architectural effect that commanded attention. Satomi, too, brought a sense of artistry with pieces that played with volume—oversized outerwear and dresses with exaggerated sleeves, combined with sleek metallic finishes that evoked a futuristic, yet ethereal, vibe.
Nandita Mahtani, on the other hand, embraced an ethereal femininity in her designs with a focus on fluidity and draping. Her gowns, many adorned with delicate embroidery and bead work, captured a sense of timeless elegance. There was a beautiful contrast in the presentation between the structural pieces of Leo Norma and the soft, romantic silhouettes by Mahtani—together they painted a full picture of how diverse modern femininity can be.
Púcaí and El Beso: Dreamlike and Mystical
Púcaí’s segment was a magical journey into fantasy with her whimsical designs that paired sheer layers with intricate hand-embellishments and delicate lace. These fairy-tale-like pieces, often in pastel shades, were adorned with sparkling crystals and feathers, bringing a sense of magic and romance to the runway. El Beso followed with a strong, sensual narrative, infusing darker tones—midnight blues, deep reds, and black—into their show. Corsets, leather elements, and bold cut-outs were paired with luxurious velvet and satin, bringing a sense of allure and empowerment to the collection.
Accessories: Bold, Yet Playful
Accessories were integral to the success of this multi-designer showcase. El Beso’s bold, metallic statement jewelry—chokers, cuffs, and oversized earrings—worked in perfect tandem with the daring fashion, amplifying the sensuality of their pieces. Core’s minimalist, geometric bags, in contrast, offered a clean and sophisticated elegance that balanced out the more playful aspects of the show. Satomi’s towering heels, with sculptural designs and unexpected materials, added to the overall drama, while Lau Sin Yi’s eclectic mix of accessories, from chunky scarves to beaded handbags, provided a fun, almost bohemian touch.
A Celebration of Individuality: A Collective Vision
The true triumph of this showcase was how each designer maintained their distinct voice while contributing to a cohesive narrative. From the powerful, sculptural work of Leo Norma to the whimsical dreamscapes of Púcaí, this group of designers pushed boundaries while respecting the artistic legacy of fashion. The collective vision was one of inclusive diversity, and a celebration of self-expression through clothing.
Whether it was the clean minimalism of Core, the bold, art-inspired pieces of Lau Sin Yi, or the sensual, yet sophisticated work of El Beso, each designer’s vision came together to offer a full spectrum of what modern fashion can be. The combination of craftsmanship, storytelling, and sheer creativity was a visual feast for the eyes.
