Conceived as a cinematic romance set against Art Deco grandeur, the coed collection draws on the visual language of late 1920s and 1930s glamour and classic film noir, pairing refinement with an undercurrent of tension and consequence. Breton, trained on Savile Row and recognized for work spanning fashion, film and music, approaches the season with silhouettes designed to feel deliberate and sculpted, emphasizing a sense of character and narrative in each look.
At the center of the story is the Winter Siren, a figure defined by presence and self-possession. Elongated lines, sculpted shoulders and defined waists move with measured grace, while fabric choices deepen the mood. Velvet and wool crepe absorb light, silk satin and chiffon add softness, and metallic threaded textiles introduce restrained shimmer. Art Deco inspired embroidery adds geometry and ornament with control.
A nocturnal palette anchors the collection, including inkwell black, bone white, champagne gold, garnet and smoke silver reinforces the cinematic atmosphere, with beauty by Odilis and hair by Vivienne Mackinder leaning into polished, era inspiring glamour. The runway presentation is presented by EPN Fashion Week.
Select looks will feature King Seiko VANAC watches, underscoring the collection’s themes of love, inevitability and precision, where craftsmanship serves as quiet punctuation to the story on the runway.
“The Siren is not a fantasy,” Breton said. “She is the moment you realize love, and life, has already changed you, and there is no way back.”
