Dilara Findikoglu’s Spring 2026 show felt like a performance as much as a collection. Staged in the shadowy Ironmongers’ Hall, the atmosphere was charged even before the first look hit the runway. With chains rattling, lights glaring, and a room packed with everyone big names, the mood was set for something visceral.
The collection, titled Cage of Innocence, explored the weight of purity and the ways women have been confined by it. It opened with ghostly white dresses—beautiful but suffocating—before spiraling into latex, torn lingerie, and corseted silhouettes that pushed against restriction. It was unsettling at times, but that seemed to be the point. Dilara wasn’t just showing clothes; she was staging a release, turning symbols of innocence into rebellion.
Standout moments included silicone cherry embellishments, horse-bit headpieces, and the final harnessed looks that blurred the line between fragility and strength. The debut of bags added a commercial layer without diluting the artistry. What struck me most was how personal this felt. Dilara described the collection as giving freedom to her ancestors, a way of processing inherited burdens through fashion. That vulnerability is what made the spectacle so moving. And the cherry dress? Chefs Kiss!
It was haunting, raw, and unapologetically Dilara, reminding us why she has become one of the most exciting names in London today.
