Flair Fashion’s UNFOLD Collective Illuminates London Fashion Week with Global Voices

On Saturday, 20 September, Flair Fashion made a striking return to the London Fashion Week evening schedule with UNFOLD Collective, the first of two group runways hosted at One Great George Street, Westminster. The platform, now in its third consecutive season in partnership with the British Fashion Council, once again positioned itself as a launchpad for bold new talent redefining the future of fashion.

The 7PM UNFOLD showcase brought together a diverse line-up of designers from China, Kosovo, Turkey, Taiwan, Mongolia, and London. Each collection fused heritage and innovation, sustainability and storytelling, creating a vibrant dialogue across cultures and aesthetics.

Turkish label Fée Muse opened the show with Turkish Delight, a collection marrying Anatolian roots with modern sophistication. Rich fabrics, artisanal embroidery, and corseted silhouettes evoked both fairy-tale allure and feminine strength.

Kosovo’s Mond, founded by Monda Beqiri, unveiled a vision of the dark feminine. Golden accents punctuated refined silhouettes, symbolising women’s inner radiance and strength.

Labentiné followed with Venus Come Home, an ethereal six-look collection in serene white. Inspired by ancient myth and Botticelli’s Venus, the garments celebrated love and unity through minimalist forms and aquatic symbolism.

From Mongolia, Anna Cashmere presented The Art of Anna, a masterclass in minimalism and luxury. Pure Mongolian cashmere garments reflected both nomadic heritage and quiet elegance, blending wellness benefits with refined design.

Kosovo-born designer Yllka Haxhiu’s YKLLA narrated a journey of growth and resilience, spanning from early dreams to triumphs on the London stage. The three-part collection — Nameless Star, Hide and Show, and Journey — transformed personal trials into universal storytelling.

Sustainability took centre stage with Weve2050, whose cosmic-inspired SS26 collection reimagined Earth’s final breath as an aesthetic archive. Zero-waste cuts and eco-textiles became capsules of nature’s resilience.

Closing the runway, Tang Chi Couture by Taiwanese designer Maggie Fan debuted Silent Marks. Inspired by the traces time leaves on life, the collection balanced surreal distortions with couture craftsmanship, weaving feminism and memory into every garment.

With UNFOLD, Flair Fashion once again proved its mission: to democratise the industry and empower creatives shaping tomorrow’s fashion. By spotlighting diverse voices and offering global visibility, the showcase underscored London Fashion Week’s role as a stage for boundary-pushing design.
