Grace Wales Bonner: Actively sartorial sports-style chic
This show felt very much like a coming-of-age moment for Grace Wales Bonner, perhaps because it was held in the library of the number one ranked secondary school in Paris. See catwalk Backed up with grace by Dutch harpist Ranie Ribeiro, the show was staged inside Lycée Henry-IV, right behind the Panthéon, where reside the great legends of France – from Marie Curie, Josephine Baker and Simone Veil to Victor Hugo and Émile Zola. Wales Bonner, in turn, has been a star for some time — in fact, ever since her debut show in London inside a forgotten Edwardian townhouse behind Buckingham Palace a decade ago. Since then, she has gone on to win the LVMH Prize and the CFDA International Menswear Designer of the Year among many accolades, thanks to her uber-fresh tailoring, subtle use of sports-style and above all her unique blend of UK hipsterism and Afro-Caribbean panache. So much so that classic tailoring brands, venerable marques and hot active sports labels all vie to collaborate with Wales Bonner. Her co-ed show on Wednesday evening opened with guys in belted shorts and crisp techy jackets and girls in silk shorts and saddle-stitched leather jerkins. Everything was perfectly cut — as was the tailoring made in a link-up with Savile Row institution Anderson & Sheppard. She cut lean suits with ever-so-flared pants and jackets with contrast collars and revived that famed English fashion classic, the Crombie, for men and women, lightening the look and accessorizing with diamond baobab-flower brooches and berets courtesy of Stephen Jones. See catwalk Wales Bonner has a justly mega reputation for creating hit footwear, and her savvy revival in contrast colors of the famed Y-3 Field shoe looks like being another huge hit. All the opening looks were anchored by Montego tasseled loafers — likely to become fan favorites. Grace's designs can occasionally seem deceptively simple, but they always manage to combine wearability with an intriguing sense of newness, just like this collection. This all led to an elegiac finale of eveningwear, tuxedos and tails — worn by young men and women with evident pride as the soundtrack mixed in 'For Some We Loved' by Dorothy Ashby and 'Eternal Life' by Shira Small, courtesy of arranger James William Blades. The entire show earned an intense burst of applause, further underlining her exceptional trajectory in fashion. In a word, Grace Wales Bonner is the new Miuccia Prada of menswear.

Wales Bonner SS26 Celebrates 10th Anniversary With 'Superfine' Sentiments
AsGrace Wales Bonnermarks 10 years in business, the British designer presented her SS26 collection, 'Jewel,' within the historic walls of an 18th-century Parisian library. The simple title is meant to evoke the objects we treasure — timeworn garments, family heirlooms, inherited jewelry, or perhaps, your most prized possessions. Executed with restraint and beauty, her latest work draws on both her modern multiculturalism and the opulent British sartorial tradition of the 20th century. The resulting collection aligns with the well-fitting theme of the2025 Met Gala, 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,' which the designer explored as an official host committee member. Echoes of her Met carpet designs forLewis Hamilton,FKA Twigs, and others are present with recurring details like tipped berets, jeweled brooches, and scalloped embellishments evocative of the Art Deco style. Despite the elegant touches of evening wear inspiration, these looks are less likely to be seen on the Met steps, appearing with an ease and naturalism suited for everyday wear. Jermyn Street-style shirting is worn open-chested or with a popped collar; various tops are layered under jackets with their sleeves pulled up. Elsewhere, patchwork denim and tracksuit bottoms ground more sartorial sensibilities in the present day, and dress shorts sit high above the knee. Standing out as one of the most formal looks is a collaboration with Savile Row tailors Anderson & Sheppard, manifesting in a cream-colored wool and silk tailcoat worn with high-waisted evening trousers. However, Wales Bonner offers balance to these elevated moments through a new collaboration withadidasandYohji Yamamoto'sY-3, including a souvenir jacket, technical trousers, and a new iteration of the Y-3 field shoe. See the gallery above for a full look at the collection, and stay tuned to Hypebeast for the latest fashion insights.
