Unveiling Autumn Winter 26 for Australian Fashion Week

For the first time in over a decade, Maticevski returned to AFC Australian Fashion Week, marking ten years since the Melbourne-based house last presented on-schedule in 2016. More than a runway presentation, the moment signals a renewed invitation into the world behind the work: sculptural form, technical precision and craftsmanship brought once again into close focus. Presented at The Collider in Haymarket, the former Australian Gaslight Company showroom, Winter 2026 unfolds as an intimate salon-style presentation, inviting audiences into proximity with the workmanship that has become synonymous with the brand. With this collection Maticevski reasserts the enduring relevance of craftsmanship in contemporary fashion: instinctive yet exacting, emotional yet restrained. Nothing is excessive. Nothing exists without purpose.
