Harri SS’26

Under a setting sun at the Barbican amphitheatre, Harri transformed ready-to-wear into living emotion. Guests arranged in a chakravyuh encircled the tarmac stage as a sudden gust swept through, sending recycled wool coats and fluid silks aloft like breath caught on fabric. MuseumWear replaces inflatable sculpture with garments that carry memory and movement, inviting wearers to step inside the art they once viewed at a distance.

Coats became minimalist canvases in gallery-neutral hues, while trousers draped with the ease of a quiet installation. Jordan Kelsey’s styling balanced architectural precision with slashes of abstraction, and Benjamin Jonsson’s choreography let wind and footsteps merge in a singular rhythm. Havaianas flip-flops grounded each look in streetwear ease, Fulton umbrellas popped open like sculptural accents, and Supatex’s technical fabrics carried colour as boldly as concept.

Brett Staniland, who closed the show alongside his twin Scott, summed up the atmosphere:

“Honestly, the whole experience was really nice. I feel like from the fittings and the casting, the whole team who worked together, they’re like such a well knitted family. And then for him to show his first ready-to-wear collection, like, amazing, obviously, his pieces shoot incredibly well editorially. There’s such art pieces, but it’s nice now to transition and graduate from that into, you know, a fully fledged ready to wear brand. For me and Scott, it was such an honour to close the show. We’ve walked many shows together before, but never had a twin runway moment. And yeah, it was an absolute honour and a pleasure to be part of it and meet all of his creative team in the studio, seeing them get to work and all the pieces was cool, got a like little sneak behind the scenes shot of like them actually working and constructing the pieces and putting together the look. And the walk was, imagine you are late for work, so it was quite fast paced, a little bit difficult with the look with Scott side by side saying in tune with each other. but it was nice. I like the setting as well. The Barbican, it's a natural amphitheatre, such a great location for a show and then, yeah, to sprint around it was cool and I think everyone pulled it off.”

When art escapes its pedestal and moves among us, fashion becomes both vessel and voice. Harri’s MuseumWear proves that imagination need not remain in galleries; it belongs in every seam, every gust of wind and every step we take.
