Iceberg Spring 2026 Collection
Celebrating his tenth year at the helm of Iceberg, James Long unveiled a collection that seamlessly blended the rebellious spirit of ’90s Britain with Milan’s polished bourgeois sophistication. The runway opened with models strolling nonchalantly, high heels dangling from their hands as they slipped into flats—a vivid metaphor for the carefree youthfulness that defined the show.
The soundtrack set the tone: Oasis blaring across the venue, with “Champagne Supernova” closing the show, turned the presentation into a love letter to Britpop nostalgia and the cultural pulse of an entire generation.
Long reimagined signature silhouettes of the era with a modern twist: above-the-knee parkas reminiscent of the Gallagher brothers, sleek pencil skirts paired with cropped jackets with ribbed sleeves, and peplum mini skirts peeking out beneath tailored, menswear-inspired blazers. Oversized trousers in checks and pinstripes were styled with preppy knit polos and short jackets with bold collars.
Accessories took the spotlight: cognac-hued skirt suits, structured handbags, and wide belts delivered quiet luxury within a rebellious framework. A muted palette of browns, beiges, and grays was punctuated by bold flashes of red, adding energy and vibrancy to the runway.
Beyond retro references, Long injected a cinematic sensibility: fluid satins and chiffon, handcrafted crochet details, and festival-ready flat shoes conjured images of British summers, grounding the collection in both practicality and elegance.
