Fforme's Fall 2026 collection, 'Bygone Savage', is a tribute to the brand's New York roots, with a modern twist. The collection is a nod to the city's rich history of fashion, drawing inspiration from the 1990s film 'Metropolitan'. Frances Howie, the creative mind behind Fforme, has crafted a unique and edgy line that is both elegant and slightly savage. The collection showcases a mix of hand-tailored suiting, deconstructed pieces, and innovative use of fabrics. One of the standout features is the use of metallic-hued velvet, which creates an hourglass silhouette with panniers in gold and burnt amber. The collection also features metallic halos hand-hammered in silver and bronze, circling the necklines of minimal silk dresses. The natural elements are immortalized through electroplating, with real flowers and leaves coated, creating one-of-a-kind works of art. The collection is a perfect blend of classic and contemporary, with a touch of '90s Helmut Lang. The looks are dressy but not too dressed up, delivering edge without indulgence. The collection is a testament to Howie's passion for supporting specialized ateliers and her commitment to preserving the city's fashion heritage.
