Barrus returns to London Fashion Week with a collection inspired by the ancient city of Ephesus in Turkey, where history and craftsmanship meet contemporary couture Ephesus—once a thriving metropolis of art, architecture, and culture—now stands as a reminder of strength and resilience.

This season, Barrus reinterprets its grandeur, balancing structured silhouettes with flowing drapery to reflect the city’s duality: the commanding presence of its iconic columns and the soft, sculptural folds seen in classical Greco-Roman garments. The collection is a continuation of Barrus’signature philosophy: merging heritage with modernity. 

Strong architectural shapes meet weightless fabrics, creating movement that mimics the passage of time.

Metallic embroidery, intricate beading, and layered textures echo the grandeur of Ephesus Ruins bathed in the golden hues of sunrise and sunset

Structured column gowns, corseted waistlines, asymmetrical one-shoulder drapes, and goddess-like silhouettes bring the drama. 

Textured marble-effect prints and architectural pleating pay homage to ancient craftsmanship, while fluid chiffon and layered tulle add an ethereal softness.

The colour palette—soft greens, golden yellows, twilight lilacs, and ivory—mirrors the natural beauty of Ephesus at dawn and dusk

Luxurious eco-conscious materials set the foundation: recycled fabrics, ethically sourced Bursa silk, delicate French lace, and gossamer-light tulle.

Hand-beaded crystals shimmer like the first morning light over ancient stone, while silver-thread embroidery references the intricate mosaics of Ephesus
