 SøEdited Team SøEditor-in-Chief: Chris Saint Sims SøFashion Director: Savannah Barthorpe Bordelle returns to its most recognisable design language this season, unveiling a considered evolution of its Signature collection in a commanding new navy hue. The London-based lingerie house, long revered for its architectural approach to intimacy, introduces a colourway that feels both deliberate and quietly subversive—an assured departure from classic black without compromising the brand’s visual authority. At the core of Bordelle’s identity lies its unmistakable strapping system—graphic, sculptural, and engineered with precision. The Signature line has become a blueprint for this aesthetic, and in navy, its impact is recalibrated. The shade—drawn from one of the brand’s most successful historical palettes—lends a softened intensity, offering a more nuanced expression of power and sensuality. Each piece is meticulously realised between London and the brand’s Transylvanian atelier, where craftsmanship remains integral to the Bordelle proposition. Custom satin elastic strapping, 24-karat gold-plated hardware, and refined mesh constructions converge to create garments that are as technical as they are emotive. The emphasis on adjustability and fit underscores a modern understanding of lingerie—not simply as adornment, but as a form of personal architecture. This latest iteration also reinforces the longevity of the Signature line. Designed with continuity in mind, the collection allows existing clients to build upon previous investments, while offering new audiences an accessible entry point into the Bordelle universe. Expanded sizing, considered price architecture, and versatile styling—spanning lingerie, bodywear, and pieces designed for outerwear—signal a brand attuned to both evolution and wearability.

SøEdited Team SøEditor-in-Chief: Chris Saint Sims SøFashion Director: Savannah Barthorpe Photography: Finnegan Koichi Godenschweger / Harry Miller for Ottolinger Ottolinger's Resort 2026 collection offered more than a seasonal wardrobe—it delivered a compelling exploration of modern womanhood, where authenticity triumphs over perfection. At the heart of the collection is the archetype of the "cooler older sister"—a woman shaped by experience rather than idealism. She has embraced love, survived heartbreak, taken risks, and emerged stronger, carrying an effortless confidence that only comes with lived experience. Her influence lies not in seeking attention, but in quietly encouraging others to embrace their own individuality without fear. This narrative unfolds through a collection that celebrates duality. Strength is softened by vulnerability, while delicate femininity is balanced with an uncompromising sense of independence. Ottolinger continues to blur the lines between fragility and resilience, presenting a wardrobe that feels instinctive, emotionally charged and unmistakably contemporary. Rather than romanticising perfection, Resort 2026 embraces the beauty found in life's imperfections. The woman imagined by Ottolinger is fearless yet compassionate, protective yet liberating. She offers guidance rather than direction, demonstrating that true confidence is rooted in authenticity, empathy and self-assurance. With Resort 2026, Ottolinger reinforces its distinctive design language, continuing to redefine contemporary femininity through an emotionally intelligent lens. The collection is both intimate and powerful—a confident reminder that vulnerability can be one of the greatest expressions of strength. Founded in 2015 by Swiss designers Christa Boesch and Cosima Gadient, Ottolinger has established itself as one of fashion's most compelling avant-garde labels. The duo first met while studying at the Basel School of Design before launching the brand, which is now based in Berlin. Renowned for its raw, experimental aesthetic, Ottolinger has cultivated a devoted international following and earned widespread industry acclaim. The label reimagines classic silhouettes through an unconventional design process—bleaching, rubber-dipping, deconstructing and reconstructing garments into striking new forms that challenge traditional notions of luxury.
