Mud-Clad Models, Greek Angels and Performative Men: Welcome to Di Petsa SS26
Showcasing “the Archaeology of Self” at London Fashion Week.
Di Petsa‘s fashion week shows always take the form of incredibly immersive and beautiful performances. This season at London Fashion Week, the designer’s Spring/Summer 2026 showcase featured everything from mud-clad angels and goddesses to performative men.
Titled “The Archaeology of Self,” the transcendent showcase looked to explore the inner workings of our psyche in the same way that we look at ancient temples. Focusing on the way archaeologists brush away “centuries of earth” to reveal what’s underneath, this season’s Di Petsa show did the very same, only with models, mud and Greek-inspired designs.

Looking at “memory and identity as sites of discovery,” the showcase presented models as a group of archaeologists, setting out to unearth what lies below the moon goddess. Complete with a cleansing ritual and a celestial soundtrack, the show was nothing short of transcendent, featuring Grecian draped dresses, printed bikinis, metallic knitwear and textured denim co-ords.
The standout this season was undoubtedly Di Petsa’s Ancient Moon Bag, debuting new variations in organza, rattan and metallic knit.
Take a look at the brand’s showcase above and stay tuned for more from LFW.
