Today was more than a LFW AW26 show...
Since its inception in 1984, Paul Costelloe has been trailblazing couture at . Today, however, it was the Creative Direction of William Costelloe, following the passing of his father Paul in November 2026, that opened London Fashion Week for the 16th year.
We were honoured to witness a poignant transition, William Costelloe and his family carrying forward the legacy their father created, with respect, fresh vision, and unwavering passion.
Weâre thrilled to be working with the family to repurpose the catwalk showâs stunning backdrop, a beautifully intentional blend of Paul and Williamâs drawings, designed by William to symbolise that the brandâs tapestry continues, honoured and strengthened by the next generation.
We are deeply privileged to have witnessed this moment in fashion history, to support the team in repurposing this meaningful backdrop, and to play a part in their expanding circular practices.
To deliver a show of this magnitude while grieving takes extraordinary strength. Well done to William, Robert, and the Costelloe family at this exceptional and deeply personal moment in their history.
With the greatest respect and admiration, we salute you, Team Costelloe. đ¤
