Malan Breton’s AW 2025–2026 Collection: A Mystical Journey Through Eastern Mythology and Victorian Opulence at London Fashion Week

Malan Breton cast an enchanting spell over London Fashion Week with his AW 2025–2026 collection, unveiling a majestic fusion of Eastern mythology and Victorian grandeur at the Royal Horseguards' Gladstone Library. This season, the designer drew inspiration from the Year of the Snake, weaving together the mysticism of the legendary White Snake tale with a contemporary reinterpretation of opulence and reinvention

Set against the grandeur of the historic venue, the collection unfolded like a modern fable, where fluid silks, architectural corsetry, and shimmering metallics narrated a story of transformation, wisdom, and celestial power.v

“This collection is a tribute to the evolution of self—honoring the fluidity of femininity and the commanding presence of masculinity. The snake in Eastern mythology represents rebirth, intuition, and destiny—qualities I sought to reflect through each silhouette

A Collection Rooted in Myth and Majesty

Drenched in iridescent fabrics, elaborate embroidery, and structured tailoring, each look exuded a hypnotic interplay between control and sensuality. Breton masterfully juxtaposed rigid corseted waists against liquid silk drapery, mirroring the tension between structure and movement, strength and seduction

Key elements of the collection included

Croc-embossed faux leather trench coats, sculpting the body with armor-like precision

High-necked Victorian gowns, adorned with hand-stitched metallic embroidery, a nod to the romance of the past

Sweeping silk capes in shades of midnight black, deep merlot, and glistening silver, capturing the essence of transformation

Vinyl and velvet tailoring, creating a striking contrast between light-reflecting and matte textures

Signature Breton corsetry, sculpting the body with an almost regal authority, reminiscent of imperial-era silhouettes

The palette, dominated by jet black, coffee brown, and molten gold, was punctuated with deep merlot and gunmetal silver, evoking the intensity and depth of ancient Eastern lore
