In conversation: Lyas | System Collections Spring/Summer 2026

« Everyone always has resting bitch face at the shows. But not at La Watch Party. People are alive, they’re excited. You can feel it in the room. » System met with Lyas, the fashion commentator whose unfiltered voice and community-building instinct have influenced how a new generation engages with fashion. At 26, he has turned a moment of exclusion into La Watch Party, a space where thousands of young fashion enthusiasts watch shows together, creating a shared energy and sense of belonging rarely seen in the industry. In this filmed conversation, Lyas explains his purpose: keeping the dream of fashion alive, reopening doors that have long been closed, the rise of La Watch Party and the passion of its community, and his aim to bring emotion, imagination and inclusivity back to the fashion world. This is Lyas: in conversation. From System Collections Issue No. 2  Spring/Summer 2026 – now available to purchase at the link in bio, and on newsstands internationally.
