Charlie Costantinou FW26 Women Looks Report

London Fashion Week

Charlie Costantinou FW26 builds a wardrobe around the tension between utilitarian construction and softly ceremonial detail, using military-derived outerwear shells, braided cord hardware and heraldic graphic motifs to dress a body that is always in motion. For buyers navigating a market saturated with post-streetwear basics, this argues that functional silhouettes can carry emotional weight without sacrificing versatility or commercial legibility.

Silhouette and Volume

Width at the leg and controlled looseness through the torso define the silhouettes here. Trousers fall wide and long, pooling or grazing the floor across nearly every look, from the pleated grey trousers of Look 2 to the heavily zippered cargo pants of Look 14. Outerwear runs either cropped and structured, as in Look 3 and Look 17, or floor-length and enveloping, as in Look 1 and Look 11. Skirt lengths and hooded knit dresses appear in Looks 5, 7, 9, 13 and 19, softening the silhouette without abandoning the insistence on volume.
