What does wellness feel like? What if it sounded like the wind through the tussock, the pulse of the tide, or the quiet rhythm of a forest waking up?
Yesterday, in alignment with Fashion Quarterly we invited guests to Roam the Wilderness - our AW26 collection - at @kenko_studios . The launch unfolded like a slow breath: an immersive sound bath, woven from the raw energy of the natural world, followed by a kōrero between FQ editor-in-chief @searsmurray and Lead Designer @moirafte . Together, they shared the stories behind the collection—how the land shapes the stitches, how silence speaks through texture, and how each piece is a quiet invitation to move with intention.
Because fashion, at its best, doesn’t just clothe the body. It grounds us. It reminds us.
A special thanks to @tahiskincare & @aesop for making this moment truly special.
Imagine the forest floor beneath your feet - layered, soft, alive. That’s the spirit behind #AW26.
A collection made to feel like returning home to the land.

What a week!
Such great experiences all round, got to take in a few shows, stepped out of my comfort zone more times than I can count 😬 but truly worth it.
An amazing team we have @untouchedworldnz super proud to be a part of such a great company ❤️
