Behind the scenes at Paul Costelloe
London Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2026
Paul Costelloe presents his Spring/Summer 2026 collection, titled
“Boulevard of Dreams”.
A vibrant ode to femininity, freedom and the effortless glamour of 1967, this collection is inspired by the enduring style of Hollywood icon, Sharon Tate.
The Collection reimagines the spirit of the late Sixties for a modern audience, blending romance with sharp tailoring and bold silhouettes.
Each piece evokes a sense of carefree confidence, marrying Costelloe’s mastery of structure, with whimsical touches of colour and texture.
Paul quoted on the day,
“I think Sharon Tate and the dolls of the Valley might have liked some of the styles you’re seeing today. Thank you for watching so early

Before the Spotlight
Led by the great Cos Sakkas of Toni and Guy, the hair direction captured effortless Sixties
glamour with a modern edge. Soft sculpted bouffants, sweeping fringes, and glossy textures
echoed the collection’s play on structure and freedom.
WATCH
Under the artistry of make up artist Yin Lee, faces were radiant and ethereal, created with Laura Mercier. Skin glowed with a sun-kissed luminosity, punctuated by subtle washes of coral and rose across the cheeks and lips. Eyes were softly defined, enhancing each models natural features, while maintaining that dreamy, Sharon Tate-inspired allure – feminine, confident, and quietly powerful.
WATCH YIN CREATE
Manicurist Sophia Stylianou brought refined detail to fingertips using Mii cosmetics. A whisper of pink, blue and nude tones caught the light with each movement, complimenting the collection with understated sophistication.
For jewellery, sculptural pieces by Ivy J Studio, PK Bijoux, and Pebble, London, added an architectural dimension to the collection.
Translucent shapes in coral, crimson and pearl tones caught the light, enhancing the dialogue between fluid fabrics and structured form.
