Global Fashion Collective presents 4 international fashion designers at LFW AW26

Global Fashion Collective (GFC) is a platform that aims to accelerate designer development by producing  runway showcases globally in fashion capitals, increasing international media visibility. As the sister company to Vancouver Fashion Week, GFC works with a wide range of international designers at all runway shows in Tokyo, New York, London, Milan, and Paris during Fashion Week. At London Fashion Week GFC presented four international designers:

ALEX S. YU

Taiwanese-Canadian designer ALEX S. YU unveiled his AW26 collection titled : A Flicker of Murmur. The collection traced a journey back to a secret map of childhood memory, paying homage to a hidden urban forest that once became an entire universe for a young explorer guided only by imagination. Earthy tones of burgundy and rich brown were grounded in black and white, with flashes of indigo. Oversized plaids, soft volume, and relaxed silhouettes were an ode to the little explorers we once were.

OLENA ADAM

Ukrainian artist Olena Adam presented her latest womenswear collection continuing her exploration of modern ceremonial dressing. Cultural heritage blended with contemporary design. At the heart of the collection was the brand’s signature Festan garment merging Eastern fluidity with European refinement. Each piece was designed to honour presence and individuality, offering timeless womenswear defined by strength, elegance, and purpose.
The runway was infused by Azzi Glasser of The Perfumer’s Story with her iconic fragrance Fever 54 — a sensual, tenacious composition of deep florals and hedonistic spice, reflecting the sense of East meeting West, and of emotional extremes, leaving a provocative, intimate trail to mirror the collection’s dialogue between strength and softness.

DUNNE CLIFF

Emerging Canadian designer Allison of Dunne Cliff presented her latest collection offering a thoughtful meditation on craft, philosophy, and time. Rooted in the brand’s ethos of “clothing as essay,” the collection explored the tensions between heritage and innovation, humour and history. Handcrafted knitwear and constructed pieces expressed the swing of the pendulum between opposing ideas while embracing imperfection and contemplation. Allison transformed garments into wearable meditations—reflecting on technology, memory, and what could be.

SAYF

Sinan presented SAYF “Excellence” which merged cultural legacy with modern streetwear sensibility. Since 2013, the designer has reinterpreted traditional Arab, African, and Asian classics through an instinctive lens, blending cultures and contrasts into bold, contemporary forms. “Excellence” paid tribute to artisans, artists, and creators around the world, honouring the precision, dedication, and care embedded in handmade work.
