AK|OK Anamika Khanna Debuts at London Fashion Week With Nostalgia-Driven SS26

Khanna recast Indian craft as everyday wear at Hamleys to tee up international launches and new retail.

Overview

  • The label showed its Spring/Summer 2026 collection on Sept. 22 at London’s Hamleys, marking its first international runway outing.
  • The narrative followed a young woman returning to her grandmother’s Rajasthan home, with staging chosen to evoke childhood memory.
  • Traditional elements such as antique silver jewellery and chikankari were reworked with jeans, skirts, boots and slouchy trousers to counter the “too ethnic” stereotype.
  • Sonam Kapoor and Jacqueline Fernandez attended in front-row looks drawn from the collection.
  • Khanna credited sons Viraj and Vishesh for a younger lens and said international stores, new verticals and collaborations are in the works.
