\n\tCharles Jeffrey brought East London punk energy to Paris with \u201ca happening\u201d in the basement of Dover Street Market.<\/p>\n
\n\tJeffrey, who spent many nights at the nightclubs in Dalston with his face painted blue, said a happening blending music, theater, and makeup felt \u201cmore experimental and liberating\u201d than a conventional runway show.<\/p>\n
\n\tFor his second season in Paris, the Central Saint Martins-trained designer spent five days painting the set. He confessed that everything happened very last minute \u2014 friends, including Baby\u2019s Berserk, who performed at the event and who used to be Jeffrey\u2019s model \u2014 were conscripted just a few days before the presentation.<\/p>\n
\n\tDespite the rushed execution, there was lots of energy in the room. Models sashayed down the venue in signature Loverboy ensembles, playing mix and match with torn tartans, \u201980s cuts, hourglass lines, ruffles, and English tailoring, as Baby\u2019s Berserk performed one electrifying song after another.<\/p>\n
\n\tKey pieces also included the crochet accessories \u2013 more beanies and animal-shaped bags \u2013 and an expanded range of footwear based on the brand\u2019s top-selling banana shoes and claw boots.<\/p>\n
\n\tJeffrey, who grew up in Scotland, said the fall 2026 collection was based on Scottish romanticism. \u201cWe wanted to look at that idea of queering nationalism. We looked at a lot of national costume and we\u2019ve sort of working with the styling as a navigational tool for the design process,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
\n\tOverall, Jeffery said the Paris showcase is a deliberate return to his early creative roots. \u201cFor me, it\u2019s the thing that made us really successful at the beginning. It was that kind of queer curiosity that meant the idea of availableism, as well as a way of pushing that kind of idea of Loverboy, narrowing down our art direction to make sure that it\u2019s really consistent,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Charles Jeffrey brought East London punk energy to Paris with \u201ca happening\u201d in the basement of Dover Street…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":256958,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[136049,146,85,46,442,132976],"class_list":["post-256957","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-charles-jeffrey","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-london","tag-paris-fashion-week-mens"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256957","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=256957"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256957\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/256958"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=256957"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=256957"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=256957"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
