September
doesn’t wait. It hits like a wave, shows stacking on top of one another,
fittings bleeding into flights, and collections rolling one after the other
until Couture. It’s the month fashion lives at full volume, and in this chaos,
Tony Ward dropped a collection that feels like a deep breath underwater.
The
Ready-to-Wear Spring Summer 2026 line is not about keeping pace or going with
that fast pace of the fashion world, it’s about shifting the rhythm, and bringing
Atlantis to life.
From
Myth to Motion
Atlantis
has always been a story about memory, power, and collapse. Tony wanted to flip that
narrative, turning the myth into fabric and motions. Dresses ripple in
mousseline, tulle, and silk, layered like waves with ruffles. Sequins, pearls,
and crystal embroidery glimmering as if hidden treasures surfaced from the
ocean floor. Shades drift from aqua green to lilac sirenne, sunlight
yellow to quartz pink, interrupted by the metallics of silver and gold. Fluidity
with edge, softness cut by precision, a balance between fantasy and the real-world
of daily wear.
Dresses
that tell THE story
Some
gowns feel like water in motion. A strapless sky-blue crepe mousseline sparkled
with silver beadwork cascading into a tulle overskirt, the kind of dress that
seems to move before the body does. Other dresses capture the architecture of
lost cities, a fitted lilac gown embroidered with crystals and pearls, sculpted
with cape sleeves that echo both strength and ethereal lightness. Then there
are the bolder silhouettes: a gradient strapless gown shifting from deep blue
to skylight, its overskirt crashing like waves; a sunlight yellow tulle gown
spiraling in layered feathers and ruffles, equal parts play and drama.
Each
piece carries a trace of Atlantis: submerged, uncovered, reborn. And it is not
about getting inspired by the myth, it is about making it wearable for women
stepping into their own spotlight, whether at a premiere, a gala, or a night
that simply calls for more.
