London Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2026 was buzzing with bold statements, but Mithridate’s collection by Daniel Fletcher stood out as the true definition of this season’s ‘London Look’.
Though based in Guangzhou, China, Fletcher’s second collection for Mithridate tapped directly into British heritage and London’s street-smart energy. The result? A collection that perfectly captured the rising fashion movement known as ‘Britcore’ — where countryside charm meets urban grit.
The Essence of Britcore
Mithridate’s SS26 lineup was a seamless mix of preppy and edgy: rugby shirts, Harrington jackets, tuxedo blazers and masculine footwear, contrasted with sequined skirts, feminine details, and delicate flourishes. This duality highlighted the tension between tradition and rebellion that defines the London aesthetic today.
Key Looks on the Runway

-
A navy pleated Harrington jacket teamed with a burgundy sequin skirt and a low-slung logo belt.
-
A cream tuxedo blazer matched with a cream skirt decorated with green floral decals, offering a softer yet refined take on Britcore.
The Verdict
Daniel Fletcher has reimagined what London style looks like today: a bold hybrid of sporty streetwear, heritage tailoring and subversive glamour. Mithridate’s SS26 collection not only celebrated the Britcore trend, but also cemented its role in shaping the global fashion conversation.
