Fforme's Autumn 2026 collection, 'Bygone Savage', is a tribute to the brand's New York roots. Inspired by the city's vibrant energy and its rich fashion history, Frances Howie's designs bring a modern twist to classic New York style. The collection showcases a unique blend of elegance and a hint of edginess, reminiscent of the 1990s, with a nod to the iconic film 'Metropolitan'.
Howie's attention to detail is evident in the hand-tailored suiting, featuring mélange wool faille and deconstructed modular designs. Shearlings, crafted with a focus on texture and natural wear, are a standout piece, with their frayed edges and versatile styling options. The use of hair calf in outerwear adds a tactile and luxurious element to the collection.
One of the brand's unique selling points is its collaboration with Barcelona-based jewelry designer Alba Navarro. Navarro's one-of-a-kind creations, featuring real flowers and leaves electroplated with metallic hues, add a touch of natural beauty to the collection. The metallic halos, hand-hammered in silver and bronze, are a signature element, enhancing the minimal silk dresses.
The collection's overall aesthetic is described as 'dressier but not too dressed up'. Howie's Fforme collection offers a unique take on luxury fashion, combining a modern edge with a nod to the past, and a subtle hint of the '90s Helmut Lang influence.
