Fashion East Spring/Summer 2027: Four New Perspectives at Manor Place
Fashion East returned to the Palace x Nike skatespace at Manor Place for Spring/Summer 2027, bringing together Mé Mé, Jacek Gleba, Traiceline Pratt’s Goyagoma and Louis Mayhew. The setting connected three runway collections and a lookbook presentation without asking them to share a single aesthetic. Against the blue fabric suspended behind the catwalk, differences in construction and proportion became especially clear.
The galleries below draw from Fashion East’s official SS27 designer pages: 39 runway photographs and ten Mayhew lookbook images. Images are courtesy of Fashion East. Runway and lookbook photographs are identified separately.
Mé Mé: A Uniform Coming Apart
Mé Mé begins with the recognisable signs of a uniform: a white shirt, a tie, braces and neat socks. But the garments refuse to stay in a single, orderly register. In the first look, a pale blue, lace-edged layer crosses a crumpled white shirt, with burgundy cloth folded and exposed at the side. The construction makes the outfit feel caught between getting dressed and taking something apart.
That instability continues through shortened jackets, translucent layers, mismatched lengths and headpieces that change the outline above the face. Denim and tailoring provide a familiar base for the stranger arrangements. The strongest moments leave enough of the original garment visible for the disruption to be understood. Fourteen runway images follow.

Jacek Gleba: The Body Between the Layers
Jacek Gleba’s twelve pictured looks work closer to the body. Pale, fluid dresses sit beside short trousers, compact jackets and sleeveless knits, with openings at the chest or waist changing how much of the figure is framed. Diamond patterns and narrow trailing pieces interrupt an otherwise controlled line.
The contrast between a covered shoulder and an exposed torso gives several outfits their energy. A softly draped white dress can look almost continuous until an opening or a displaced panel breaks its surface. Darker jackets and pale shorts keep those more revealing pieces in conversation with everyday dressing. The result is precise without losing the sense that the clothes are meant to move.

Goyagoma: Workwear Meets the Long Dress
Traiceline Pratt’s Goyagoma builds a particularly clear bridge between roomy daywear and a longer, more formal silhouette. An oversized red-and-white striped top above loose beige trousers establishes a relaxed scale. Boxy outerwear and generous white trousers continue that ease, while long black, white and green dresses change the body’s outline without abandoning it.
The details are often small but decisive. A contrasting piece tied at the hip draws attention to an otherwise spare dark dress; a long decorative line travels down the front of a green one. Tailoring in muted tones offers another version of the same unforced proportion. The thirteen runway photographs show how consistently the collection moves between practical clothing and evening length.

Mayhew: An Outfit as an Accumulation
Louis Mayhew’s contribution was shown as a lookbook at the venue, as reported by 10 Magazine. Its photographs make the change of format apparent: models stand against a taped pink backdrop or in outdoor settings, and the clothes read as highly personal assemblies rather than a uniform parade.
A mesh sports shirt carries a soft grey chest panel loaded with jewellery-like ornaments. Beneath it, different shirt fabrics cross the waist above loose grey shorts, with tall patterned boots extending the collage downwards. Elsewhere, bright colour, belts, cropped layers and dangling objects compete for attention. The ten selected images published by Fashion East reward looking at each outfit in parts, then stepping back to see the improvised whole.

Four Practices, One Platform
Taken together, the collections show the value of a shared platform that can accommodate different ways of making and showing clothes. Mé Mé unsettles the uniform, Gleba concentrates on the body, Goyagoma adjusts the scale of familiar garments, and Mayhew makes accumulation itself a design method. The group’s coherence comes from the clarity of those individual approaches.
