THE COLLEGIATE COLLECTION:
Frankies Bikinis: Superlatives
Frankies Bikinis is going back to school – but think college cool rather than freshman orientation. Its Fall 2026 collection, Superlatives, puts a playful spin on vintage collegiate dressing, with ultra-soft knits, pointelle sets, low-rise denim and heritage-inspired stripes. The brand is also introducing its first-ever 100% cashmere pieces, while swimwear gets a preppy update with cotton styles finished with retro stripes.

THE BURGER OPENING:
Dumbo
Apparently we haven't reached peak burger yet. French favourite Dumbo is opening its second London site on Berwick Street following the success of its Shoreditch outpost. The menu is deliberately simple, with its signature smash burger, vegetarian Earth Burger and tempura nuggets – which, in controversial opinion, might be the best thing on the there. Conveniently located between the likes of Supernova and Junk, Soho has officially become burger battle territory.

THE VANILLA UPGRADE:
PHLUR Vanilla Canyon
If Vanilla Skin was your gateway into the world of PHLUR, meet its moodier older sister. Vanilla Canyon is the fragrance brand's latest take on vanilla, swapping sugary sweetness for something warmer, earthier and a little more grown-up. Created by perfumer Jérôme Epinette, it blends velvet plum and tonka bean with wild honey and jasmine before settling into Madagascar vanilla, patchouli and oak wood.

THE AUTUMN COLLECTION:
Damson Madder: Press Play
Damson Madder’s AW26 collection, Press Play, takes its inspiration from the indie movies and TV shows of the 2000s and 2010s, with statement outerwear, reversible trenches, bold checks, deconstructed knits and graphic tees featuring playful vintage-film-inspired slogans. The accompanying campaign follows the ‘Damson Girl’ as the star of her own arthouse movie, starring writer and artist Mackenzie Thomas. There’s even a real-life sequel: Press Play Live! will take over New York's SoHo Playhouse during Fashion Week on 9th September, complete with live performances from emerging NYC talent.

THE MILKY FRAGRANCE:
Discothèque ‘Next To Me Or Nothing’
We’ve had milky toners, now it’s milky fragrances. Cool-girl scent brand Discothèque has tapped into the trend with ‘Next To Me Or Nothing’, a dreamy floral woody musk inspired by late nights, glittering lights and the lingering memory of someone you probably shouldn't text. Created by perfumer Julien Rasquinet, it opens with cold milk before melting into star jasmine and cloudy sake, with white musk, sandalwood and tonka bean at the base.
THE Y2K COMEBACK:
Victoria’s Secret PINK x PinkPantheress
The Y2K revival is showing no signs of slowing down. Victoria’s Secret PINK has tapped PinkPantheress as the face of its latest autumn campaign, fronting the launch of its new Foldover Super Flare leggings. Taking the classic foldover style and turning the volume all the way up, the new version features a dramatic 14in leg opening for almost double the flare. Made from PINK’s signature soft cotton, they come in a mix of bold waistbands, prints and easy-to-wear colourways. Pair with a baby tee for full noughties energy or an oversized hoodie for a more off-duty take.
