Kseniaschnaider's FW26 collection pushes denim boundaries by presenting knitted, printed, quilted, reconstructed, and displaced treatments. Knitted jeans and jackets replicate traditional denim construction while avoiding classic denim fabric, offering a fresh reinterpretation of garment form. Gold topstitching is reimagined as decorative embroidery that traces menswear and womenswear silhouettes, producing denim-shaped motifs that fuse structure with artistry. BROD-X, a textile made from recycled denim waste, appears across the range, reinforcing sustainability alongside creative innovation. Multipocket menswear constructions revive a practical yet avant-garde menswear direction. A second collaboration with Lee Cooper merges British denim heritage with experimental manipulation for a contemporary statement.
"Captured by the keen eye of photographer Anna Nowalska-Duda, we ventured backstage to see the striking transformation of denim as an innovative canvas for creative exploration. Phoros by Anna Nowalska-Duda @baro_nova @londonfashionweek @kseniaschnaider / @leecooper1908 The FW26 collection boldly challenges conventions, with denim in various forms, knitted, printed, quilted, reconstructed, and displaced. In a groundbreaking twist, knitted jeans and jackets mimic the traditional construction of denim, yet eschew the classic fabric, inviting a fresh take that daringly reinterprets the garment's essence."
"Central to the collection is the reimagined use of denim's iconic gold topstitching. No longer merely functional, it now serves as a decorative element, tracing the silhouettes of both menswear and womenswear. These embroidered denim-shaped motifs create an intricate dialogue between structure and artistry, dramatically reshaping our understanding of this timeless material. Emphasising sustainability, Kseniaschnaider has included BROD-X, an innovative textile crafted from recycled denim waste, showcasing a dual commitment to creativity and ethical fashion practices."
