Wales Bonner‘s Spring/Summer 2027 collection, Sun Poem, began as a study of portraiture. The nuance of refining oneself, glimpses of character caught in the anomalies of an image. Rich traditions of documentary photography inform the gestures, street-level glances, and many rhythms. The wardrobe is introspective and assured, a personal style that moves calmly between intimate domestic space and the noise of the street.

The colour palette is expressive and restrained at once. Earthen tones sit alongside primary colours, warm and muted like the haze of midday sun. A refined blouson in bark brown, bright stripes on fine-gauge knitwear, a suede sash in green appearing timeworn on a bomber jacket in nappa leather. Heritage checks and chevrons nod to tradition. Signature tailoring in navy wool is given an off-kilter soul with a single satin lapel. Collaged fabrics enliven a wool top coat worn on bare skin, made in partnership with Anderson and Sheppard. Bengal stripe shirting fits loose and relaxed, with Malaika, meaning angel, emblazoned on the back.

New renditions of the Paris Trainer, Dakar Loafer, and Julien Slipper in leather, suede, and ponyhair unite an elevated wardrobe for the everyday. Across both menswear and womenswear, the collection shifts between hardwearing and fine, delicate and tough, formal and easeful.
