Aaron Esh SS27 at the Electric Ballroom, London Fashion Week: the dark-palette designer's turn to shocking pink

Aaron Esh showed his spring 2027 collection at the Electric Ballroom in Camden on 18 September, after sitting out the February season. He has been chief creative officer of AllSaints since November 2025 and keeps his own label running alongside it. Casting and fittings for this show happened inside the AllSaints offices in east London. He was an LVMH Prize finalist in 2023 and took his MA at Central Saint Martins. The finish is where the extra year went. Linings are satin, collars are backed in leather, and a pair of crocodile-effect leggings is built from individually cut pieces of leather embroidered together. His show notes put the colour plainly: "They collide rather than coordinate."
