What happens when you give yourself permission to try something unexpected?

Lennard Taylor’s Fall/Winter 2026 collection is an invitation to find out. Step Into the Unknown brings together sculptural coats, expressive layers, reworked tailoring and hand-painted pieces that turn getting dressed into an act of discovery.

At the heart of the collection is the Grace coat, appearing in rich wool colours and one-of-a-kind combinations of patchwork, denim and leather. Alongside it, painted Brenda shirts, distinctive vests and bold jackets offer new ways to build a look that feels entirely your own. Colour meets texture; familiar shapes take surprising turns.

These are pieces to live in, move in and return to. Some make an entrance. Others reveal their character in the details. Each asks the same question: where could you go if you dressed for possibility?

Step into the unknown. See what you discover.

Every season I feel myself getting stronger, better and more full of vitality.  Where I struggle is figuring out whats next in this crazy world.  Lately i've been wondering where we are going as a human race, the more we drive this AI train and become more automated I feel we are loosing the essence of being humans.  In my opinion we are loosing artists and creators at a rapid pace because the Medici's of the world who would fund artists just for the art.  They believed in public art and how it enhances humans vibrancy.  

We are trading original works of art, sculpture and visuals for the convenience of fast ai turn out.  I cant blame people for wanting things automated or faster but where does it end?

This collection I made my best sellers, the staples in wardrobe to streamline just as the ai is streamlining our lives, why not streamline our wardrobes.  You might be wondering why I would do that, its almost an oxymoron to what you just read but I also made a lot of one of a kind originals that cant be replicated or duplicated.  I wanted to play with the dark and light of what we are creating.  It will be interesting to see what sells and whats left to be auctioned off at the end of the year.  Yes you read that right, December 26 we are going to host an auction.

Main inspirations for this collection are:

Blood, bloodline and warmth.  The blood for colour and symbolism, what it means to be human.  The warmth is in the layering, the modern collection that can all work together in a streamlined way.

I cant wait to have conversations with you all about the latest body of work.  Love it or hate it Im here for your feedback.  And no this wasn't written by AI, it was me, Lennard Taylor typing on an airplane far about the skyline.   Much love you sweet beauties.
