GLAMOURISED RESILIENCE

Coveted for their accessories, Coach unveil their latest statement on defining how to accessorise through their SS26 collection, launching with LN-CC in a campaign captured by photographer Alex Tracey. Highlighting the collection’s updated take on the Tabby, its forms are showcased with intimacy and grace in mind, coupled with style choices which demonstrate an insight into possibility.

Here, the Tabby is situated amongst neutral hues of black, brown, and gold, classic and refined but with an overarching contemporary vision. Minimalist selects from Rick Owens, Lemaire, and Jacquemus incorporate draped silhouettes in this exploration of feminine styling. The sepia-toned choices act as a callback to Coach’s full collection, whilst reinvigorating glamour with alternative shape considerations that fuel the narrative behind who would carry this signature bag.

Situated within a room unfurnished, with the only décor being the surrounding wallpaper, Tracey’s lens invites the viewer into a realm less refined, with a depth to its structure that only comes with age. Such a place can only foreground the allure of the collection, whilst also retaining the original grit reflected in Coach’s creative vision. Textured walls compliment the bare nature of the garments, with the resilience of such a setting harkening to the hardware of the Tabby.

The wielders of the Coach staple are ones who navigate their surroundings with romantic sensibilities, seeing the beauty in a resistance to time, as evoked by Tracey’s use of light. There’s a softness to the way light enters the space, imbuing itself to the glamour of the imagery, ethereal in its presence. The Tabby is to be seen at the centre of such a vision, one of composure and enchantment, standing face to face with the passage of time.
