Mithridate Resort 2026: Henley Regatta Meets China's Dragon Boat Festival
Daniel Fletcher's second collection for the Guangzhou-based brand Mithridate continued to be a study of cultural common ground between the U.K. and China. He looked at how both sides celebrate the change of seasons: dandy outings during Royal Ascot, wild nights at Glastonbury, as well as the Henley Regatta, an annual summer rowing event on the River Thames loved by the London set. More from WWD Kenny Scharf Exhibition Opens at MAM Shanghai EXCLUSIVE: Craft Is King, Says Jonathan Anderson, Who's Putting the Focus on Makers at the New JW Anderson Brand Giles Deacon Whips Up Colorful New Tweeds for Purdey It reminded him of his first-hand experience of the heated Dragon Boat Festival racing on Guangzhou's Pearl River at the end of May, when he was there developing the collection with the local team in his studio, sitting right next to the factory. The multicultural references led to a collection that was rooted in English heritage, but designed for a weather-transcending global audience. Wardrobe essentials were done in soft sand-washed silk and pastel Merino wool, formal attire came with a Mick Jagger hedonistic touch, and outdoor numbers were rendered in aged leather and fine checks for unpredictable weather. He also looked at the queer and romantic world of 'Brideshead Revisited' with preppy items such as a rowing blazer with a Mithridate logo inspired by old photos of Eton College, and a padded bomber jacket in navy paired with check shorts. The anything-goes style that a young David Hockney adopted played a key role, too. 'I found this beautiful photo of Hockney signing a conservatory painting. That kind of clash of colors, textures, and prints is something that I find inspiring,' he said. His admiration for Chinese craftsmanship, meanwhile, could be found in the details. The final look in the collection, a delicate embroidered dress, was hand-beaded using a traditional technique to evoke the pattern of picnic basket checks, for example.

That's A Wrap: The Simple Styling Hack Everyone Is Wearing At Fashion Week
The easiest styling tricks are often the most effective. And by now we're familiar with the nifty, nonchalant knit-draped-over-shoulders hack. Whether it's an artfully slung sweater or a loosely tied knit, this season, designers and the street style set are utilising the casual styling solution to full effect. FIND OUT MORE ON ELLE COLLECTIVE Daniel Fletcher is partly to thank for the emergence of the trend in London this season, at his debut as creative director of Mithridate. Models and attendees opted for fuzzy mohair knits in pastel pink, mint green and lemon yellow draped over collared knits, cardigans and crisp cotton shirts. Meanwhile, at her London Fashion Week runway debut, Pauline Dujancourt's wispy ethereal gowns were styled with chunky cable knits. Talia Byre delivered her own take on the trend as candy-coloured bibs hung loose around the model's neck instead of knitted jumpers and cardigans. The same was true at Copenhagen Fashion Week where for AW25 Scandi brands Won Hundred, OpéraSPORT, Henrik Vibskov and The Garment all swathed their models in layers of slouchy knits – sometimes asymmetrically slung across the body, sometimes loosely knotted around the neck and sometimes doubling as outerwear itself. The trend is not only practical (although who doesn't love an extra layer on chilly days?); it's a surefire way to add a layer of undone elegance to your outfit while still looking impeccably chic. The best part: the look can be easily achieved with items you already own, be it your favourite charcoal cashmere jumper or that bright red cardi you wish you got more wear out of – just pull out your favourite knits, tie and knot and you are good to go!
