Behind the scenes: AW26 Campaign

A day spent exploring Halswell Quarry Park while photographing our new Autumn / Winter ’26 collection.

For our Autumn / Winter 26 campaign, we spent the day at Halswell Quarry Park in Christchurch. A place that offers an incredible mix of landscapes in one beautiful setting.

From wide grassy fields to towering established trees, and of course the dramatic rocky quarry itself, the park gave us a variety of natural backdrops to bring the new season to life. The collection felt right at home there.

This season brings together a mix of jeans and cords alongside tops and dresses in beautiful patterns, with plenty of cosy knitwear layered in. The colours and textures worked perfectly against the natural surroundings.

We spent the day exploring the park as we shot, moving between locations and following the light as it shifted through the trees. One of the nicest moments came at lunchtime, when we paused for a picnic under the shade of the trees. It was the kind of day that reminds us why we love shooting outdoors ~ fresh air and beautiful places to explore.

Autumn / Winter 26 is full of dependable denim, soft cords, cosy knits, and easy dresses. Seeing them come to life in such a relaxed setting made the whole collection feel exactly as it should: wearable, and ready for the season ahead.
