Within London Fashion Week, KSENIASCHNAIDER presents its FW26 collection “DENIM WORKSHOP,” exploring denim beyond the fabric itself. The collection is a conceptual experiment with denim as both a key material and a fundamental part of the brand’s DNA. It investigates the boundaries of the material through unconventional forms, constructions, and unexpected transformations, turning denim into a space for creative exploration.

Here, denim appears in multiple manifestations: knitted, printed, textured, and deconstructed. Knitted jeans and jackets recreate traditional construction in yarn while preserving denim logic. Outerwear transforms the brand’s signature material into imagery: insulated skirts, shorts, and puffer jackets are finished with hyperrealistic denim prints. The classic golden jeans topstitching is used as a graphic element outlining the silhouettes of jeans, jackets, and shorts. The collection also incorporates new materials, including BROD-X — an innovative textile created from recycled fabric remnants.

FW26 marks the return of the menswear line, continuing the original KSENIASCHNAIDER Men line by Anton Schnaider, grounded in utilitarian aesthetics and functionality. The Multipocket direction appears in an updated form through modular jeans, shirts, and jackets featuring multiple pockets.

Cubic Denim receives new variations made from recycled denim and patchwork, preserving its sharp geometry and architectural silhouette.

The second collaboration KSENIASCHNAIDER × Lee Cooper will also be presented on the runway, continuing a creative dialogue between British heritage and an experimental design approach.

In collaboration with Nemiroff, a new accessory — a bottle holder based on the Platform — will be introduced, transforming a functional object into a performative gesture.

FW26 presents the brand’s new creative manifesto — “cool denim and nonsense tricks,” marking an evolution of its strategy while preserving irony, experimentation, and denim as the central idea.
