In Conventional Collection 112509 Hodakova continues to bring spectacle to the runway through sheer scale and quantity sharing the stage with highly engineered and often architectural looks. Paired with the designer’s familiar language of assemblage. Hodakova ultimately creates a collection that shows the weight of the world around it.
Hodakova’s Spring Summer 2026 has been crafted for the “impatient, hypercritical, and anarchistic young artists. ” The collection does so through the reality of a world that doesn’t exist as it has been thrown away, like many of the elements used in the clothing. When we look closer, ultimately, we can see a conversation about tradition, life and its immateriality. This conversation happens through the many pieces that made the garments, that if not for the show would have become waste, ultimately ending their story.
Since its founding in 2021 Hodakova and its creative director, Ellen Hodakova Larsson have gained notoriety for their use of reengineered garments in high luxury. Her strong designs often using unconventional and found items, was what propelled her into the eyes of many, especially following being awarded the LVMH prize for young fashion designers. Following this award Hodakova again created a show that continues to push boundaries in Conventional Collection 112509. – Bennett Thyren
