Designer Steve O Smith has presented his Fall 2026 ready-to-wear collection, incorporating color for the first time in his signature illustrative style. Drawing from 1920s influences like Otto Dix, Edward Burra, and Madeleine Vionnet, the pieces feature hand-dyed tulle and beaded details. Smith used funds from last year's LVMH Prize to build a couture-trained team in London.
