Chelsea Grays
London, UK — 22 September 2025 — New York-based designer Chelsea Grays delivered a powerful showcase at Oxford Fashion Studio’s 10th Anniversary London Fashion Week SS26 shows on Sunday 21st September at Devonshire Square. Known for her politically charged streetwear and conceptual storytelling, Grays’ latest collection reaffirmed her place as one of the most compelling voices in contemporary American fashion.
Her SS26 collection fused sharp tailoring with raw streetwear influences, creating pieces that were both wearable and subversive. Drawing on themes of identity, justice, and social reflection, Grays used her platform to challenge convention — blending fine art and activism into cohesive design. Structured blazers were paired with distressed textures and expressive prints, creating a visual dialogue that felt urgent, emotional, and undeniably modern.
Chelsea Grays’ work has long been defined by its intersection of art and social consciousness. Each garment in this collection carried intent — from her hand-drawn motifs and layered deconstruction to her thoughtful use of sustainable materials. Her designs invited audiences to look beyond aesthetics, urging them to think critically about the world they inhabit.
The show captured the spirit of Oxford Fashion Studio’s 10th anniversary season — a celebration of independent designers who use fashion as a medium for truth and transformation. Grays’ runway was not just a display of style, but a statement of strength, creativity, and conviction.
