Fashion East - Jacek Gleba FW26 Women Looks Report
Fashion East, Jacek Gleba FW26 Women Looks Report
London Fashion Week
Jacek Gleba builds a collection around the collision of athletic base layers and deconstructed tailoring, routing sportswear codes through a ballet and dancewear vocabulary that reads as both archival and forward-facing. For buyers navigating the current appetite for gender-fluid, body-conscious dressing with conceptual weight, there's a legible commercial throughline beneath the experimental surface.
Silhouette and Volume
Lean, columnar legs anchor every silhouette, consistently held by compression-style leggings or bike shorts with sculptural cut-away panels in Looks 1, 6, 11, and 12. Volume hits deliberately and suddenly against that tight base, either draped fabric panels hanging from zip-open seams at the hip (Look 3, Look 7) or oversized outerwear collapsing over the body in Look 9. Look 8 breaks entirely from the athletic register, delivering a floor-length khaki coat layered over a frayed floral duster that reads as the clearest outlier and most immediately wearable statement piece in the lineup. The tension between compressed and released volume drives the collection's central structural argument.
