When the lights dimmed and the first look emerged on the Stockholm Fashion Week runway, it was clear that MAYZ was not here to whisper. The emerging label, co-founded by Mayssa Fakih and Kevin Mukuri, delivered a Fall–Winter 2025/2026 womenswear collection that blended precision tailoring with unrestrained movement—resulting in a show that felt as cinematic as it was wearable.
Stockholm Fashion Week’s grand return this season has been all about showcasing fresh, rule-breaking talent, and MAYZ embodied that mission flawlessly. Their collection, titled “Ode to the Ocean,” carried a pulse of emotion that rippled through the crowd. Every piece seemed to carry a story: structured jackets that hugged the form with architectural intent, flowing skirts that caught the light like waves, and layered textures that played between strength and softness.
The palette reflected the show’s maritime muse—deep midnight blues, warm sandy neutrals, and flashes of metallic silver that hinted at moonlit reflections. Fabrics moved like water, yet tailoring anchored the looks in modern power dressing. This was fashion as language—every cut and drape speaking to identity, resilience, and transformation.

The New Stockholm Energy
As the city’s fashion week reclaims its global spotlight, MAYZ stands as a voice of its new generation—rooted in craft, fearless in vision, and globally attuned.
The reception was electric. Editors leaned forward. Cameras clicked in rhythmic bursts. And somewhere between the crisp tailoring and the billowing movement, you could feel the brand planting its flag firmly in the future of Scandinavian fashion.
With MAYZ, Fall–Winter 2025/2026 isn’t just about what you wear—it’s about how your clothes move with you, tell your story, and make you unforgettable.
