At Ashley Williams’ SS26 show, the cutesy collided with the clinical in a dreamy romance of care-core fantasy and candy-coloured kitsch. Think cotton grandma frocks paired with tactical vests, baby-blue bodysuits embroidered like hospital gowns and toilet paper bangles that flounced down the runway like little talismans of domestic ritual. The collection’s heart beat to the rhythm of routine – where trimming hedges or catching the 8:12 bus became acts of sacred selfhood. The toilet paper bangles? Photography courtesy of Ashley Williams.
