When fashion designer, Pippa Todorson asked us to collaborate on her S/S ’26 show, we knew it would be something special. Pippa is celebrated for her bold, sustainable approach to fashion and her shows have become a defining part of the London Fashion Week schedule. We had just three weeks to design Pippa's "Light the Runway" presentation, creating a setting that echoed the avant-garde spirit of her “Foreign Heat” S/S ’26 collection.
We drew inspiration from the collection’s bold colours and floral motifs, aiming to create an untamed botanical garden feel. This collection was influenced by Pippa’s love of the 60s and 70s, and we wanted to reflect that bohemian spirit in our design. Against the dramatic backdrop of the HAC, our installations played with contrast - juxtaposing the venue’s raw, historic grandeur with the collection’s lush, free-spirited energy.
A dramatic draped centrepiece anchored the runway, with fresh florals adding a sense of wild, natural beauty. At the back of the runway, custom draping softened the architecture while discreetly concealing the models as they stepped through the curtain. The neutral tones made sure all eyes were on the outfits as the models made their entrance.
Watching the collection come to life from the front row was a truly special moment for us - a mix of excitement, pride, and awe at seeing our vision merge with Pippa’s bold, vibrant designs.
