Knwls Debuts in Milan, Unveils Nike Collaboration Ahead of Retail Launch

The multi-year project fuses the label’s corsetry codes with Nike materials for technical pieces now previewed on the runway.

Overview

  • Knwls staged its first show in Milan for spring 2026 after typically presenting in London.
  • On the runway, the Nike collaboration appeared as a weatherproof plaid jacket and miniskirt with reflective threads, an updated Razr bag in nylon and rubber, and a corset-laced Air Max Muse.
  • The collection also features Flyknit corsets, a waterproof and windproof version of the Fanny skirt with photo‑reflective threading, a corset‑laced mule‑sneaker hybrid, and bags with waffle‑sole bases.
  • The Nike x Knwls pieces are scheduled to reach stores later in September following their public preview.
  • Founders Charlotte Knowles and Alexandre Arsenault say talks with Nike began nearly five years ago, with active design starting about two and a half years ago.
