There is a figure walking along the River Thames. Searching, finding, gathering. The riverbed has wild flowers growing, and possibilities turn into opportunities. Along the way, the figure meets others and builds a wardrobe for a new life.

That is the starting point for the Fall/Winter 2026 Mithridate collection, the third from creative director Daniel Fletcher. The idea of arriving somewhere new is personal this time. The brand has been moving between its birthplace in Guangzhou and its new base in London.

The connection between those two cities runs deep. The first wisteria plant to reach Europe came from Guangzhou in the 1800s, brought by a man named John Reeves. It still grows along the Thames in Chiswick today. For the show at Tate Britain, a replica of that plant sits at the center of the space.

Fletcher sees his own path in that plant’s journey. The wisteria came from China and put down roots in England that have lasted. He feels the brand has done the same. The textiles feel richer now, more established. The brogues he designed for the first collection have been broken in. There is confidence in the rhythm between China and London.

The collection pulls together British sartorial tradition, executed by the brand’s atelier in China. The result is something new, influences from different places blending into a contemporary uniform. Like the wisteria before it, the roots are now planted. It is time to bloom.
