HOPE AUTUMN/WINTER 2026 COLLECTION 
'GARDEN OF ASHES' 

Built around the idea of creating something from nothing, the HOPE Autumn/Winter 2026 Collection 'Garden of Ashes', explores absence as a starting point rather than an end. Reflecting on the potential held within what appears empty, the collection considers how form, function and expression can emerge through restraint, limitation and transformation. Stripped-back structures meet unexpected contrasts, allowing material, proportion and construction to take on a more deliberate role. What begins in nothingness gradually takes shape, turning absence into possibility.
