Hodakova's Autumn/Winter 2026 Conventional collection debuted on the opening day of Paris Fashion Week. Swedish designer Ellen Hodakova Larsson transforms everyday objects into wearable items. Models wore bras made from ceramic teacups, sleeveless tops fashioned from inverted stools, blouses from violin strings, and skirts wrapped from floor mats.

The designs embodied an avant-garde aesthetic, utilizing bold shapes and deconstructing basic garment structures to provoke thought. According to Vogue, the show was not merely a display of clothing but conveyed a message about individuality and self-awareness. This was most evident in the performance of three models who used reflective mirrors positioned over their faces, posing the question, "In the age of selfies, avatars, filters, and social media, do we still recognize our true selves behind that reflection?"

The Business of Fashion described Hodakova's show as a creative explosion from its opening, elevating the brand's standing among established names at Paris Fashion Week.

Founded in 2021, Hodakova is known for transforming discarded materials like belts, spoons, and bras into luxurious and unique designs. The brand's designs are favored and chosen by Cate Blanchett and Billie Eilish.
