Ashes of Bloom in British Vogue

Ashes of Bloom in British Vogue sees Rondooz featured in Vogue Retail, where the brand introduces its Autumn 2026 capsule and its distinctive approach to wearable art. Appearing alongside a selection of fashion and design names, the presence of Rondooz in Vogue Retail is a proud moment for the brand. The feature forms part of Rondooz’s latest advertising campaign with Vogue, marking its third campaign with the title. As autumn begins, Ashes of Bloom in British Vogue brings the brand’s darker, more poetic vision for the new season into focus.

A New Season for Wearable Art

Rondooz approaches clothing as a meeting point between painting, textiles and craftsmanship. Its wearable art brings original hand-painted artwork onto garments, alongside hand embellishment and revived antique Gobelin tapestries. The result sits between clothing and art without losing the character of either.

Each piece receives its artwork by hand. Rondooz does not use printed artwork as a substitute for the painted surface. Pieces may appear as One of One artworks or within carefully controlled Limited Editions, giving each work its own place within the wider Rondooz language.

Ashes of Bloom Enters Autumn

As autumn begins, Ashes of Bloom in British Vogue offers a fitting introduction to Rondooz’s Autumn 2026 capsule. The central idea feels simple, yet it carries a deeper meaning.

Here, the blossom returns in a different form. Heat has changed its colour and shape, but its sense of life remains.

Instead of bright tones, ash shades now take centre stage. As a result, the palette feels softer and more restrained.

Together, these changes create a quieter visual language for the new season.

The AW2026 capsule comprises 45 pieces across coats, jackets, capes, vests, dresses, blouses, tops, skirts, trousers, shorts and coordinated sets. Several pieces incorporate revived antique Gobelin tapestries, bringing textiles with their own histories into a new wearable context.

From Painting to the Garment

This relationship between old textile and new artwork defines much of the capsule. Rather than serving as simply decorative additions, antique Gobelin surfaces become part of the garment itself. In turn, hand-painted elements introduce another layer of interpretation.

As a result, this approach reflects what wearable art can offer: clothing that carries an artistic idea while remaining connected to the body, movement and material. At the same time, painting, textile and embellishment work together at Rondooz to create pieces intended to be experienced beyond a conventional fashion context.
