For Autumn/Winter 2026, DAKS London looks to the intersection of British heritage and European modernism, with the Bauhaus movement providing the creative starting point for the season.

The story centres around László Moholy-Nagy, one of the Bauhaus’ leading professors, who brought his pioneering vision to London in the 1930s. During his time at Simpson Piccadilly, the original home of the DAKS brand, he reimagined everything from window displays and visual merchandising to the men’s tailoring department, bringing a modernist approach to British retail.

This dialogue between architecture, art and design informs the AW26 collection, alongside the work of British creative pioneers including Joseph Emberton, Jack and Molly Pritchard, Ben Nicholson and Barbara Hepworth. Clean lines and considered forms are combined with the timeless tailoring and heritage for which DAKS is known.

The season also marks 50 years of the iconic DAKS House Check. One of the house’s most recognisable signatures, the check is reinterpreted through bold new colourways, scales and techniques, celebrating its heritage while giving it a contemporary feel.

The result is a season that brings together British heritage and modernism, reimagining the iconic codes of DAKS for today.
