For Fall/Winter 2026, Saul Nash presents a collection called “MASQUERADE”. The British-Caribbean designer explores how clothing can be a tool to transform and shape identity. The idea started after attending Notting Hill Carnival, where vibrant costumes have roots in mimicry, and led to researching Venetian masquerade traditions where masks disguise and empower the wearer.

Nash translates this into a London context, creating what he calls a new kind of power dressing. It plays with the tension between the formality of tailoring and the ease of casual wear. The aim is to offer clothes that let the wearer embody different versions of themselves.

The collection starts with a technical tracksuit. Printed on it is the silhouette of a suit, a direct nod to Nash’s own feeling of being underdressed for events while wanting to stay true to his sportswear roots. He says it’s a way to fit in without changing who you are.

References from 1980s power tailoring are reworked. Suit jackets come with built-in hoods and detachable sleeves. Shirts are made from stretch cotton and traced with lines inspired by a 1931 ballet costume, moving the brand’s kinetic philosophy into more sophisticated territory.

There is a pinstriped merino wool jumpsuit that takes its shape from a Wall Street suit. Cut wide, it mimics the movement of masquerade costumes when in motion. Outerwear is highly versatile, featuring military drill jackets with transformable collars, cropped kinetic trench coats, and ultra-lightweight padded jackets.

The theme of masking appears literally. Compression tops are printed with a hazy body motif and have a funnel neck that, when pulled up, creates the silhouette of another person. A similar laser-etched technique is used on a raw denim twinset, suggesting the form of an ancient statue.

The collection is anchored by Nash’s debut footwear design: the Julien Boot. It is a high-top sports shoe with a mesh upper, leather base, velcro fastening, and a gum sole designed for movement.

During the show, Nash also previewed the upcoming SLNSH Spring 2026 collection, his fourth collaboration with lululemon. It combines his design approach with the brand’s technical innovation, featuring transformable jackets and organic cotton trousers.
