On a crisp autumn evening, the fashion and art crowd slipped away from the art-and-fashion-filled whirl of Frieze London to gather at Harry’s Bar for an intimate celebration of artist, storyteller, and designer Jackson Wiederhoeft’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection. It marked Wiederhoeft’s first formal introduction to London—and the city welcomed them in style, with guests arriving head-to-toe in whimsical, corseted creations.
A finalist of the 2022 Vogue/CFDA Fashion Fund, Wiederhoeft has since become a fixture on the New York Fashion Week calendar, captivating audiences with theatrical, narrative-driven presentations. Often described as “the high priest of corsetry made in New York,” Wiederhoeft continues to fuse architecture and emotion through meticulous craftsmanship, with designs worn by icons from Rihanna to Chloe Fineman.
The evening was co-hosted by Moda Operandi and Aashi Patawari, a London-based fashion investor and philanthropist who uses her platform, House of AP, to champion emerging designer talent and introduce their work to new global audiences.
Inside, guests mingled over cocktails and conversation amid the warmth and hum of Harry’s Bar—a fitting backdrop for a designer whose work continually blurs the line between fantasy and fashion, storytelling and craft.
