FARAH | Q2 SPRING/SUMMER 2026

Farah SS26 returns with a second collection, continuing its exploration of the UK’s 1990s DIY sound system culture. Inspired by free parties, warehouse raves and travelling sound systems, it captures a moment defined by movement, unity and self-expression - reimagined through a modern lens.

Evolving through fabric and finish, this latest drop introduces new treatments to echo the timeworn feel of the era. A standout this season is the frost finish - a specialist pigment dye process that enhances seams and pocket details, while a contrast ecru stitching and reinforced construction give a utility edge. Garment dyeing plays a key role across T-shirts and overshirts, delivering a soft, lived-in handle with a rich, uneven depth of colour. Each piece develops its own unique character, resulting in a washed, vintage aesthetic that feels authentic to the spirit of the collection.

Texture remains central, with waffle, jacquard, poplin and crepe fabrics offered in a palette of dusty, muted tones designed to reflect the hazy, outdoor atmosphere of 90s free parties, and the collection’s relaxed, expressive mood.

Silhouettes are refreshed, including the introduction of the Swinton short - a new, wide-fit shape adapted from the Greenport trouser. Cut to sit at the knee, it anchors the collection alongside swim shorts crafted from 100% recycled materials. Relaxed shirting also features prominently, including the Stanford shirt in crinkled cotton with subtle yarn-dyed stripes. Graphic staples also return, led by the Tilsworth T shirt - a visual timeline of the brand, combining archival Farah logos from the 1950s through to the 90s. A nod to heritage, reworked for today.
