Speaking from her east London studio days before her Spring/Summer 2026 show, Talia Lipkin-Connor the designer behind the Talia Byre label is trying to stay calm. We call it swan vibes, she says. The point is that you're gliding on top of the water, but underneath your legs are paddling like mad. If I start to freak out, I'm aware that everyone else will freak out too. It's my job to be calm.
"I hope people can see all the fun and hard work [that goes into a collection]," says Talia Lipkin-Connor. "Every day is crazy in the best way and we wanted to make an archive, even just for us, to look back on as the brand progresses."
