From Istanbul to Milan: The Journey Begins

 From Istanbul to Milan: The Journey Begins

As promised, I wanted to take a moment to update all of you — my dear social media followers and subscribers — on the journey towards my upcoming Milan Fashion Week collection in September 2026.

This week, I touched down in Istanbul, a city that never fails to inspire with its mix of timeless tradition and modern vibrancy. More importantly, this is where the creative pulse of my team comes alive — and I could not ask for a more dedicated, kind, and talented group of individuals to help bring this vision into reality.

Over the past few days, we have been deeply immersed in shaping ideas, discussing fabrics, refining silhouettes, and carefully planning every detail of the collection. What continues to move me is the warmth and generosity of my team here. Each of them goes beyond their role — offering their skill, passion, and commitment in ways that truly make this a collaboration of hearts, not just hands.

Fashion is often celebrated on the runway, under bright lights, but the truth is: it’s built in these quiet moments of teamwork, laughter, and creativity. Whether over long conversations in the heart of Istanbul’s bustling streets or during hands-on sessions in the studio, I’m constantly reminded of how lucky I am to have such support.

This is just the beginning. By June, we aim to finalize the designs, perfect the details, and set everything in motion for September 2026 in Milan. I invite you to join me on this journey — to witness not only the glamour of the final runway but also the process, the dedication, and the beautiful people who help make it possible.

Here are some glimpses from Istanbul — behind-the-scenes moments that capture the spirit of what we’re building together. 

Stay tuned — the journey continues, and I can’t wait to share more with you.

With gratitude and excitement,
Paul Peart
