What is ‘fragile fashion’? The emerging trend turning heads at London Fashion Week

Following a busy week of new collections from well-known and emerging fashion designers, London Fashion Week is now over. The power of the backstory is apparent in a new trend.

London Fashion Week returned with fresh creativity and new collections. Amid well-known designer brands and spectacular runways, one particular trend is gaining attention: fragile fashion.

Turkish designer Bora Aksu unveiled his Spring/Summer 2026 collection at St Paul’s Church in Covent Garden, beautifully decorated with rose bushes.

For this year’s collection, Aksu drew inspiration from his own archive of broken porcelain dolls. According to Fashionista, his intention was to embrace flaws and cracks. In his eyes, fragility is not weakness, but a new kind of strength, love, and survival.

The models donned a variety of lace, sheer fabrics, and hand-embroidered mesh in soft pastel hues like powder pinks, soft corals, peaches, and powdered blues as they walked the runway. Their appearances captured the significance of “fragile fashion,” telling a vulnerability story.

Before the show, he said, “Broken dolls reminded me that beauty can be found in traces of love, time, and survival.” He explained that he wants the audience to see imperfections as signs of resilience and beauty rather than concealing them.

Additionally, this year’s collection intentionally left viewers to notice delicate details like visible loose threads and lace bonnets.

Describe Fragile Fashion.

A new fashion trend emerges each year. There is always something new that captures the public’s obsession for months or even years, whether it’s baguette handbags, knee-length shorts, or pastel colors. Recently, social media and the fashion industry have been showing more interest in fragile fashion.

Fragile fashion praises delicate fabrics, pastel hues, and handcrafted details rather than bold statements. People seeking comfort and learning to love themselves as they are, with flaws and all, reflect a wider shift in the industry. It’s a movement to find strength in sensitivity rather than just a fashion trend.

Users have showcased outfits embracing softness, layering, and imperfection. Although fragile fashion remains an emerging term and trend, it has already gained significant traction.

Bora Aksu, a fashion designer, has undoubtedly been at the heart of this movement, demonstrating that fashion can be both powerful and inspiring through storytelling. Celebrating people’s inherent humanity in a beautiful way was a prime example of embracing the delicate and imperfect in this year’s collection.

Today’s horoscope for September 24 as Capricorn is told to listen rather than rush to a solution

One star sign’s thoughts do not align with their partner’s, according to today’s horoscope for September 24, and another person’s hopes and dreams seem unusually vivid.

On September 24th, one star sign was instructed to slow down their thoughts rather than try to control or solve things.

There are 12 zodiac signs – Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces – and the horoscopes for each can give you the lowdown on what your future holds, be it in work, your love life, your friends and family or more.

These daily forecasts have been compiled by astrologer Russell Grant, who has been reading star signs for over 50 years. From Aries through to Pisces, here’s what today could bring for your horoscope – and what you can do to be prepared.

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

When a relationship issue is brought up, do your best to avoid overreacting. Your partner’s thoughts might not be in line with yours. Ask yourself if you’ve picked up something incorrectly before saying anything you might regret.

Taurus (Apr 21 – May 21)

When you want to be stubborn, it might not work out today. You may need to be more aloof and open to interacting with others, which is required. All that is required to maintain harmony and foster successful relationships is this.

Gemini (May 22 – June 21)

You value engaging in both online and in-person conversations. You’ll want to get right to the heart of the issues facing us today. At least not at this time, you aren’t interested in light banter about the weather. You’re attempting to comprehend what motivates a person and what motivates them.

Cancer (June 22 – July 23)

You experience an inner rush of adventure. Why not try something novel and unique in order to quench these feelings? Make a trip plan. Visit a location you’ve never been before. Breaking out of your regular routine will improve your health.

Leo (July 24 – Aug 23)

Talks with female friends or coworkers will be more significant than you might think. These interactions may have a positive impact on how you approach a future goal. You might also receive advice on novel and unconventional ways and means of achieving your goals.

Virgo (Aug 24 – Sept 23)

Be present in your opinions and actions. You’ll be able to see how much your life is impacted by previous conditioning. You want to believe you are making your own decisions, but you might also feel pressured to do so by a trusted advisor who is in charge of your decisions.

Libra (Sept 24 – Oct 23)

You don’t know where it came from, but you now feel confident and inspired to speak out. Although it’s important to speak your mind, you could phrase your thoughts diplomatically if what you are about to say might offend someone.

Scorpio (Oct 24 – Nov 22)

You might have a strong impression that someone at work is trying to hurt your reputation. They’re saying things about you that you won’t like. The best course of action is to confront them head-on. Just make sure you’re informed before speaking with them.

Sagittarius (Nov 23 – Dec 21)

When you work alone and when you remain behind the scenes, you will perform the best. As you accept that these issues may require some adjustment, you might want to revisit those you have already addressed. The results are better the more organized you are.

Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 20)

What is actually happening in today’s communications might be difficult to predict. Reduce the speed at which you think. Listen instead of trying to figure out everything. In time, clarity and understanding will return. Be sure to note any message or idea that might be important.

Aquarius (Jan 21 – Feb 19)

Do everything necessary to maintain proper organization and cleanliness. Remove items that are no longer in use from your medicine cabinet. Organize your living or work space more effectively. When you don’t need to keep looking for tools, you’ll start seeing improvements.

Continue reading the article.

Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)

Your hopes and dreams might seem unusually real. What you are imagining has magic in it. Be careful not to idealize people or circumstances, even so. Maintain an open but grounded attitude. What’s real and what’s wished for can be distinguished from by a moment of reflection.

Trump to ‘sue ABC’ as Kimmel returns to late-night TV post-controversy

Following a significant controversy that caused some ABC affiliates to stop airing Jimmy Kimmel’s show, Kimmel made a comeback appearance on late-night television on Tuesday.

President Donald Trump erupted on Tuesday after ABC announced Jimmy Kimmel would return to late-night television, accusing the broadcaster of backing Democrats and branding it a potential “illegal campaign contribution.”

In a post shared on Truth Social, Trump slammed ABC’s decision and reignited his ongoing row with Kimmel, who has frequently mocked him in his opening segments.

“I can’t believe ABC Fake News gave Jimmy Kimmel his job back. The White House was told by ABC that his Show was cancelled! Something happened between then and now because his audience is GONE, and his ‘talent’ was never there,” Trump wrote. The news comes as Jimmy Kimmel Live: Late-night show returns despite Donald Trump’s scathing rant.

Why would they want a replacement who plays 99% positive Democrat GARBAGE and performs so poorly, isn’t funny, and puts the network in danger? He added that, to my knowledge, that would constitute a significant Illegal Campaign Contribution because he is yet another DNC arm.

He went on: “I think we’re going to test ABC out on this. Let’s see how we do. Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 million. This one sounds even more lucrative. A true bunch of losers! Let Jimmy Kimmel rot in his bad Ratings.”, reports the Irish Star.

Jimmy Kimmel Live made a comeback last night! following an indefinite suspension that had sparked discussion all over the country, on ABC, was officially reinstated. Following Kimmel’s most recent monologue on the program, where he accused “the MAGA gang” of trying to politicize Charlie Kirk’s murder, the drama began.

The backlash was severe because Sinclair and Nexstar, two significant ABC affiliates, “indefinitely” dropped Kimmel from the air.

Brendan Carr, the chair of the FCC, jumped in and warned of regulatory consequences if broadcasters continued to air the program without addressing his concerns.

Disney and ABC immediately faced criticism after thousands of Disney+ subscribers were canceled, and numerous celebrities and businesses demanded that Kimmel be reinstated.

The company met with Kimmel, assessed the damage, and announced the program would resume on Tuesday night in its regular slot amid the criticism, subscriber exodus, and censorship and free speech debates.

However, Sinclair decided to avoid airing the comeback episode on its ABC affiliates and instead to air news programming until the “discussions with ABC” are resolved.

This followed CBS’s decision not to renew Stephen Colbert for another series after his outspoken criticism of Donald Trump.
