Drapers’ pick of the autumn/winter 26 launches

Nobody’s Child Nobody’s Child launched its autumn/winter collection this week, featuring a range of funnel-neck jackets in various colourways and fabrics, cashmere and wool knitwear, as well as a selection of midi and maxi coats. In prints, checks and stripes take centre stage, with the brand’s classic ditsy floral print woven throughout the offer. Prices range from £27 for a cotton “baby” T-shirt to £399 for a tan suede funnel neck jacket. Slow Love British brand Slow Love, known for its oversized jumpers, has made its first foray out of the knitwear category, launching a four-piece (two pairs of jeans and two jacket options) denim offer that includes a kimono-esque jacket and 90s-inspired baggy jeans. Advertisement Holly Von Bock, Slow Love founder, said: “Moving from knitwear into denim felt like a natural progression for Slow Love. The high street market is saturated with poorly made denim, we’ve taken a purist approach: using premium 100% cotton denim that wears in like an old pair of vintage jeans and, when cared for, will last a lifetime, standing proudly alongside our knitwear in both quality and longevity.” Prices are £165 for jeans and £185 for jackets. Stine Goya x Umbro Danish womenswear brand Stine Goya and British sportswear stalwart Umbro return for a second collaboration, which launched worldwide on 31 August. Following their first edition in May 2025, the new five-piece collection draws inspiration from 1990s British social culture. Prices range from £155 for a checked slim T-shirt to £245 for a crewneck pullover. Advertisement French Connection French Connection launched its autumn/winter collection earlier this week, alongside a campaign entitled “Your Call”, centred upon “the everyday choices we make before anyone else gets a say”. Helen Gallagher, head of design at French Connection, said: “Those first ten minutes are the only part of my day that truly belong to me. Before anyone’s asked anything of me, before the meetings, the commute and the noise. It’s those moments that are worth savouring before you’re three decisions deep and the day has its own agenda.” Prices range from £25 for a 100% cotton, printed T-shirt to £210 for a waxed cotton double-layer parka coat. Marks & Spencer M&S‘s new autumn/winter 2026 collection launched in stores and online on Thursday (3 September), alongside the launch of its latest “Love That” marketing campaign fronted by actress Gillian Anderson. M&S said this season’s collection is “rooted in style” and is underpinned by the “exceptional quality and trusted value” the fashion retailer is known for – more than 50% of the women’s autumn collection is priced under £30. AW26 at M&S champions “design, premium fabrications and wearability”, across its own-brand M&S Collection, Autograph, Per Una, Goodmove and Jaeger brands.
