Dana 19. februara 2026. godine, zasvođeni enterijer crkve St John’s in Hyde Park postao je uvod u novo modno poglavlje, kada je Fashion Week and the City predstavio dizajnere koji su otvorili veče.
Tamo se produkcionom timu pridružio Paris Runway Official, koji je pažljivo odabrao pet dizajnera da predstave svoje kolekcije u okviru zvanične revije Emerging Talent Runway Show – platforme kreirane sa ciljem da podrži mlade dizajnere, kreativce i modele, kao i dalji razvoj modne industrije.
Dok je London Fashion Week započeo svoju petodnevnu proslavu globalne kreativnosti, pet različitih modnih kuća istupilo je na scenu, predstavljajući ne samo odevne komade, već i priče satkane od nasleđa, emocija i jasne autorske vizije.
bhai-bhai clothing
From Dawn to Dusk
Tokom večeri predstavljena je i kuća muške mode bhai-bhai clothing, brend u usponu koji su osnovala braća Rahul i Kunal Mehta. Kolekcija From Dawn to Dusk, prvi put prikazana na jednoj od najvidljivijih svetskih modnih pista, istraživala je ritam dana savremenog muškarca – njegove prelaze, ceremonije i kulturna prožimanja.
„Brend bhai-bhai clothing nikada ranije nije bio prikazan na pisti, i upravo zato sam još više želela da ih vidim na reviji“, izjavila je Brit Olivia, direktorka Paris Runway Official. „Njihova pažnja prema detaljima – od maramica u džepu i aksesoara do obuće i krojenja – bila je upravo ono što sam želela na toj pisti.“
Preciznost i promišljeni stil učinili su da njihov debi deluje kao nastup iskusnog brenda.
Bon de Pho
Gaia’s Garden & Her Grace
Dizajnerka Jasmine Pho, osnivačica brenda Bon de Pho, predstavila je deset modela koji su delovali kao delovi žive bajke – pet iz kolekcije Her Grace i pet premijernih komada iz nadolazeće kolekcije Gaia’s Garden.
Nakon što je primećena na svojoj prvoj reviji prošle jeseni, ručno je odabrana da predstavi svoje kreacije u Londonu.
„Njeni dizajni su kao iz bajke“, podelila je Brit. „Znala sam da je želim na pisti u Londonu.“
MBW FashionAddict
The New Harmattan
Temiloluwa Fagbemi, dizajnerka iza brenda MBW FashionAddict, predstavila je kolekciju The New Harmattan, meditaciju o transformaciji inspirisanu tihom snagom jeseni.
„Bože, odakle da počnem sa ovim brendom“, rekla je Brit. „Temi je divna osoba, ali još je lepše srce i duša koje je utkala u svaki komad. Svaki izlazak na pistu pričao je svoju priču.“
Torbe su nastale u saradnji sa brendom byReidin, dok je nakit obezbedio Arts Fashion House, zaokružujući jesenju/zimsku priču koja se osećala u svakom koraku modela.
Scarlett’s Boutique
VIDA’S LUXE COLLECTION
Scarlett’s Boutique, brend koji je osnovala Samanta, doneo je jedan od emotivno najsnažnijih trenutaka večeri. VIDA’S LUXE COLLECTION, serija večernjih i pageant haljina, nastala je u znak sećanja na njenu prvu ćerku, Scarlett.
„Kada sam upoznala Sam, to je automatski bilo ‘da’“, rekla je Brit. „Nakon što sam čula njenu priču i kako je brend nastao, znala sam da mora biti sa nama na pisti.“
Revija je bila istovremeno omaž i trijumf.
Monika Gruber
MADAME MG COUTURE
Nemačka kreatorka Monika Gruber predstavila je MADAME MG COUTURE – ručno izrađenu simfoniju bisera, složenog veza i preciznih ukrasa.
„Monika je bila apsolutno logičan izbor“, rekla je Brit. „Želela sam hrabrost. Kada sam gledala njenu kolekciju na pisti, prošli su me žmarci. To je bila autentičnost u pokretu. A uzgred – koliko su njeni modeli bili prelepi?“
Svih pet dizajnera pridružilo se Paris Runway Official u okviru zvanične Emerging Designers edicije na otvaranju London Fashion Week.
„Naš cilj je bio da predstavimo talente koji zaslužuju veću platformu“, izjavila je Brit Olivia. „Sangeetha, naša producentkinja, i ja lično smo birale brendove za koje smo verovale da mogu biti hrabri i autentični u Londonu. Od bhai-bhai clothing, koji je radio sa neverovatnom preciznošću, do Scarlett’s Boutique, koji je pružio priliku novim modelima da izađu na pistu. Veče je bilo apsolutno zadivljujuće.
Bon de Pho nam je oduzeo dah sa svojih deset bajkovitih izdanja. Monika sa Madame MG Couture ostavila nas je da želimo još – njeni modeli bili su hrabri i snažni, i aplaudiram joj na autentičnosti.
Temi, dizajnerka iza MBW FashionAddict, odvela nas je pravo u jesen – kroz boje, teksture i aksesoare. Kolekcija je bila savršeno osmišljena za jesen/zimu i to se osećalo u svakom izlasku na pistu. Neizmerno sam ponosna što podržavam ovu grupu, sada i ubuduće“, zaključila je Brit.
Modeli na pisti otvaranja
Kolekcije predstavljene te večeri oživele su zahvaljujući impresivnoj postavi modela, čije je prisustvo dodatno naglasilo viziju svakog dizajnera na pisti. Prateći temu večeri – nove talente – Paris Runway Official je odlučio da i modeli u usponu imaju priliku da se pojave na pisti. Ovo je urađeno kao znak priznanja i podrške širenju modnog prostora van idealizovane slike onoga kako modeli „treba da izgledaju“.
„Večeras smo imali dame na pisti sa invaliditetom, imali smo dame koje su upravo debitovale ili bile na svojoj drugoj sezoni na New York Fashion Week, imali smo dame i muškarce koji su sa nama bili u Parizu prošle jeseni. Ono što smo uradili jeste da smo spojili nove modele sa našim mladim dizajnerima, za reviju koja je zaista bila nova i na svim nivoima“, rekla je Brit.
„Ono čemu smo svedočili bila je zapanjujuća revija satkana od treme, napornog rada, snova i vizija koje su oživele. Ovo je prava moć akcije i izuzetno sam ponosna na svoj tim zbog njihovog rada ove večeri, kao i na dizajnere koji su nam poverili svoje vizije.“
Među modelima koji su izašli na pistu bili su Harriette James Cresswell (@harriettejamesc), Maria Filipowicz (@maria_filipowicz), Riona Dighe (@rionakd), Kelly Delahunty (@kellydelahuntyy) i Xenye (@uldades), zajedno sa Chanel Brown (@chanellondon), Miss London 2025, Millie Mcfarlane (@millie_mcfarlane_), Olivia Gear (@oliviagearr), Chloe Ching (@chloe_ching4) i Anetta Berri (@anettaberi_), prelepom modelom sa više od 650.000 pratilaca.
Pista je nastavila da privlači pažnju sa još istaknutijih talenata, uključujući Alex Redshaw (@alex_redshaw), Leah Galloway (@leahgallowayxx), Kaitlin Decker (@travelholic_momma_) iz Michigana, Azina Bashir (@azina_bashir) i Wendy Valdez (@wendynd_v). Pridružile su im se Naomi Parisette (@naomiruth377) iz New Yorka, Megan Stewart (@megxnrebecca), Sangeetha Menon (@mrsglamouruk2025), Tianna Gardiner (@tiannagard_) i Paige Coleman (@paigekarinacoleman), svaka donoseći jedinstvenu energiju i sigurnost na pistu.
Takođe su na pistu izašle i Leela Raynes (@leelaraynes), Prerna Kumar (@prernakumar92/), Nadiia Zeidan (@nadiia_zdn) i Jonaki Ghodekar (@jonaki_ghodekar), čija individualna harizma i prisustvo na pisti pomogli su da se narativ večeri nosi sa samopouzdanjem i stilom.
Dizajneri iz bhai-bhai clothing su odabrali modele koji su njihove kreacije nosili na pisti kako bi istakli detalje korišćene u svakom komadu. „Jedna stvar koja nas je zaista impresionirala jeste da je ovo bila prva revija bhai-bhai clothing, ali njihovi modeli, izdanja i pažnja prema detaljima bili su jednostavno besprekorni“, rekla je Brit. „Ne bih se iznenadila ako ih uskoro vidimo u Milanu ili Parizu.“
Backstage i produkcija
Za osveženje modela iza scene pobrinuo se NOOSH drinks, dok je šminku dorađivala in-house šminkerka Paris Runway Official, Mary Dego. Runway Coach @modelwithladyboss bio je tu da modelima ulije sigurnost pred izlazak na pistu, dok su Gena i Sangeetha koordinisale produkciju u ime Paris Runway Official.
@yuliafun je zabeležila posebne trenutke večeri, kako iza scene, tako i na pisti.
Osvrt na veče otvaranja
U periodu od 19. do 23. februara, London je još jednom pokazao zašto je jedna od svetskih modnih prestonica. Od bratstva i romantike do sećanja i lične transformacije, pista je potvrdila ono što London najbolje radi – spajanje globalne perspektive sa duboko ličnim pripovedanjem.
Ali najvažnije od svega – stvaranje prostora za nove dizajnere, modele i kreativce.
Posebna zahvalnost
Paris Runway Official zahvaljuje Fashion Week and the City na prilici da zajedno kreiramo veče otvaranja posvećeno mladim talentima u okviru London Fashion Week. Vaša posvećenost predstavljanju novih talenata izuzetno je cenjena.
Do sledećeg puta…

Paris Runway Official Selects 5 Emerging Designers to Showcase at Opening Night of London Fashion Week
The first show to support Emerging Talent, Designers, Creatives & Models
On February 19, 2026, the vaulted interiors of St John’s in Hyde Park became the prologue to a new fashion chapter as Fashion Week and the City unveiled its opening-night designers.
There, joining the production team, Paris Runway Official hand-selected five designers to present as part of its official Emerging Talent Runway Show which is a platform created to support emerging designers, creatives, and models alike to support the fashion industry and its growth.
As London commenced its five-day celebration of global creativity known as London Fashion Week, five distinct houses stepped forward, each presenting not simply garments, but narratives woven with heritage, emotion, and intention.
bhai-bhai clothing
From Dawn to Dusk
The evening included bhai-bhai clothing, the emerging menswear house founded by brothers Rahul and Kunal Mehta. Presenting From Dawn to Dusk for the first time on one of the world’s most visible runways, the collection explored the rhythm of a man’s day… its transitions, ceremonies, and cultural crossings.
“The brand bhai-bhai clothing had never been presented on the runway before, and that just made me want them on the runway even more,” said Brit Olivia, Director of Paris Runway Official. “Their attention to detail from the pocket squares and accessories to the shoes and tailoring… it was exactly what I wanted on that runway.”
The label’s precision and thoughtful styling made their debut feel anything but first-time.
Bon de Pho
Gaia’s Garden & Her Grace
Designer Jasmine Pho of Bon de Pho also presented at London Fashion Week with ten pieces that felt like fragments of a living fairytale… five from Her Grace and five previews from her forthcoming collection, Gaia’s Garden.
Hand-selected after being spotted at her first runway show last Fall, her designs unfolded like chapters from a living fairytale.
“Her designs were something out of a fairytale,” Brit shared. “I knew I wanted her on the runway in London.”
MBW FashionAddict
The New Harmattan
Temiloluwa Fagbemi of MBW FashionAddict presented The New Harmattan, a meditation on transformation inspired by autumn’s quiet authority.
“Oh goodness, where do I even begin with this brand,” Brit reflected. “Temi is lovely as a person, but what is even more beautiful is her heart and soul poured into each piece. Every look told a story down the runway.”
The collection’s handbags were in collaboration with byReidin, and jewelry was provided by Arts Fashion House, completing an Autumn/Winter narrative that could be felt with every step.
Scarlett’s Boutique
VIDA’S LUXE COLLECTION
Scarlett’s Boutique, founded by Samanta, delivered one of the evening’s most emotionally resonant moments. VIDA’S LUXE COLLECTION which was a series of pageant gowns and evening wear which was conceived in memory of her first daughter, Scarlett.
“When I met Sam, it was an automatic yes,” Brit said. “After hearing her story and how the brand came to life, she was going to be on that runway with us.”
The presentation was both tribute and triumph.
Monika Gruber
MADAME MG COUTURE
German couturière Monika Gruber unveiled MADAME MG COUTURE, a handmade symphony of pearls, intricate beading, and meticulous embellishment.
“Monika was an absolute no-brainer,” Brit shared. “I wanted the runway to be bold. I wanted courage. When I watched her collection go down the runway, it gave me chills. It was authenticity in motion. And by the way, how gorgeous were her models?”
All 5 designers joined Paris Runway Official as part of their official Emerging Designers Edition on Opening Night at London Fashion Week.
“Our goal was to showcase talent that deserved a larger platform” says Brit Olivia, Director at Paris Runway Official. “Sangeetha, our producer, along with myself head hunted brands specifically that we felt could be bold and courageous at London Fashion Week and tonight’s shows we accomplished what we were after. From bhai-bhai clothing, who worked with such precision… to Scarlett’s Boutique who allowed emerging models to join her on the runway. The night was just absolutely stunning.
Bon de Pho of course came to take our breath away with her 10 looks that were out of a fairy tale. Monika with Madame MG Couture left us all wanting more. Her looks were absolutely bold and courageous and I applaud her for her authenticity.
Temi, who is the designer behind MBW FashionAddict took us to a place we can literally feel – Autumn. Her looks, her colors, her accessories… The handbags were in collaboration with byreidin and the jewelry was Arts Fashion House. The collection she built was exactly for the Autumn/Winter Season and you could feel it with each look that came down the runway. I am incredibly proud and happy to support this group now but also in the future.” says Brit.
Models who took to the Runway on Opening Night
The evening’s collections were brought to life by a striking lineup of models whose presence elevated each designer’s vision on the runway. In following the theme of the evening, emerging talent, Paris Runway Official made the decision to allow emerging talent on the catwalk as well. This was done as a nod to growing the fashion space beyond the ideal image of what models should look like. “We had ladies on the runway with disabilities this evening, we had ladies on the runway that just walked at New York Fashion Week for their first or second season… We had ladies and men there that were with us in Paris last fall. What we did was take emerging talent and put them with our emerging designers for a show that truly was emerging on all ends” says Brit.
“What we witnessed was a stunning show made up of nerves, hard work, dreams and visions brought to life. This is the true power of action and I am incredibly proud of my team for their work this evening and the designers for trusting us with their visions.”
Among the models who took to the runway were Harriette James Cresswell (@harriettejamesc), Maria Filipowicz (@maria_filipowicz), Riona Dighe (@rionakd), Kelly Delahunty (@kellydelahuntyy), and Xenye (@handzu), alongside Chanel Brown (@chanellondon) Miss London 2025, Millie Mcfarlane (@millie_mcfarlane_), Olivia Gear (@oliviagearr), Chloe Ching (@chloe_ching4), and Anetta Berri (@anettaberi_), the gorgeous model with over 650,000 followers.
The runway continued to command attention with more standout talent, including Alex Redshaw (@alex_redshaw), Leah Galloway (@leahgallowayxx), Kaitlin Decker (@travelholic_momma_) from Michigan, Azina Bashir (@azina_bashir), and Wendy Valdez (@wendynd_v). They were joined by Naomi Parisette (@naomiruth377) from NYC, Megan Stewart (@megxnrebecca), Sangeetha Menon (@mrsglamouruk2025), Tianna Gardiner (@tiannagard_), and Paige Coleman (@paigekarinacoleman), each bringing a distinct energy and confidence to the runway.
Also walking the runway were Leela Raynes (@leelaraynes), Prerna Kumar (@prernakumar92/), Nadiia Zeidan (@nadiia_zdn), and Jonaki Ghodekar (@jonaki_ghodekar), whose individual charisma and runway presence helped carry the night’s narrative forward with confidence and flair.
The designers behind bhai-bhai clothing selected models that brought their looks down the runway to showcase the details used on each garment. “One thing that really impressed us was this was bhai-bhai’s clothing first runway show but their models, their looks, their attention to detail was just impeccable” says Brit. “I would not be surprised if we see them in Milan or Paris soon.”
Backstage & Production
Models were taken care of by NOOSH drinks – who refreshed models backstage (@drinknoosh) along with hair and makeup was touched up by Paris Runway Official’s in house makeup artist Mary Dego (@makeup_mary_dego). Runway Coach @modelwithladyboss was there to ensure models felt confident as they approached the runway, with Gena (@genaaspinall_martin) and Sangeetha (@mrsglamouruk2025) there to coordinate on behalf of Paris Runway Official.
Paris Runway Official had @yuliafun there to capture the special evening both backstage and on the runway.

As London ushered in Fashion Week from February 19 through February 23, opening night at St John’s in Hyde Park captured the city at its most expressive.
