Xandres x AW26 Catwalk
Xandres wants to reach a new generation of women in Belgium without losing the ones who already wear it. “Ready to evolve with us?” is the question behind its Tokyo-inspired Fall-Winter '26 collection. We gave it a live chapter, Xandres' catwalk show FALL IN TOKYO, LIVE ON THE RUNWAY IN ANTWERP. We took care of the concept, the creative direction, the set and the production.
The city of Antwerp is always evolving, so instead of rebuilding that energy in a room, we made the city our runway. On a dark evening, the catwalk ran over the cobblestones of the Napoleonkaai, under old street lamps and through a haze of light by ARF&YES. Along the runway sat 200 guests from the press, the fashion world and Xandres' wholesale partners. The quay was lined with wheatpasted posters asking the campaign's question, a nod to Japanese poster culture. Then the cast came down, as varied as the women Xandres wants to reach. Belgian top models Anouck Lepere and Hannelore Knuts opened and closed the show, with new faces like actress Lauren Versnick in between.
Ready to evolve with us? Judging by that runway, Xandres already has.
