Some styles just always feel right, if you ask me. A Modal T-shirt. A pair of Leo leggings in classic brown. A white shirt and a really good pair of jeans. They are the styles I return to again and again, which is also why they are part of our Essentials collection.

They form the foundation for everything new that comes with each season. And one of the things I love most is that moment right at the end of the design process, when everything comes together and the new collection really starts to take shape.

The colours have found their place. Prints, knits and fabrics sit together just as we imagined. That is when I start to see the wardrobe as a whole, and all the different combinations that emerge across the collection.

Choosing favourites is never easy. I have been part of the entire process and feel connected to every single style. But if I have to choose, these are some of my personal AW26 favourites. Styles, colours and combinations that, to me, capture the feeling of the season.

For toddler boys, I especially love the blue-striped shirt, the soft denim and the mélange knit. I would put them together exactly like this. The different textures and patterns add a little edge to the otherwise classic look.

I also love the blue with the browns. It is a colour combination I am particularly drawn to this season.

For the boys, I am especially drawn to the colours this season. The bright red, the blue, and the brown and cream striped denim make for a combination that makes me happy. I love it when a strong colour gets to take centre stage while still sitting naturally alongside the more classic shades.

The polo is one of my favourites. It has a classic, sporty feel, and the red gives it that little something extra I am always looking for.
