Autumn/Winter ’26 Lookbook

Far Afield Collection #20

Autumn/Winter '26

Upper Mustang, Nepal

Collection #20 begins in Upper Mustang, Nepal. It grew from things noticed along the way: striped cloth, painted timber, woven baskets, worn surfaces and the way clothing is layered and adjusted through the day. These details found their way into outerwear, shirting, knitwear and accessories. Photographed in Porto.

Across the high desert, pattern is part of everyday life. Painted borders frame windows and doorways, stripes run through aprons and woven cloth, and basketry builds rhythm from simple repeated structures. Much of what caught our attention was made to be used, with character coming through material, construction and wear.

Outerwear takes its cues from that practicality. Returning shapes have been adjusted in fit and proportion, joined by new coats, work jackets, smocks and overshirts made for layering.

The Pāṭe Bāgh, the Nepali name for the striped Bengal tiger native to the Terai, appears as both figure and pattern. Long present in Nepali and wider Himalayan art and symbolism, its striped form runs through knitwear and print as a recurring motif.

Cold mornings give way quickly to strong sun. Layers are added, removed, wrapped and rearranged as the day changes. The striped pangden apron worn by Loba women offered another study in pattern and use, its bands of colour and repeated geometry belonging to an object worn as part of daily life.

The palette comes from the landscape and built environment: mineral and washed blues, stone, chalk, juniper, earth brown, rust and burnt orange. In cloth, those colours take on different qualities. They soften across shirting, break up through flecked yarns, sharpen into woven checks and settle into dense knits and embroidery.

Knitted hats, scarves, caps and neckerchiefs bring many of these ideas into closer view. Pointed knitted hats recall forms found in Himalayan vernacular dress, while stripe, texture and repeated pattern are carried into smaller pieces intended for everyday wear.
