Margaret Howell

Aug 2026

The Margaret Howell F/W 2026 campaign is a masterclass in the quiet authority of luxury fashion. Captured through the lens of photographer Collier Schorr, the project leans into a rigorous editorial minimalism that feels both timeless and bracingly contemporary. Each frame operates within a restrained color palette, favoring soft, even lighting to emphasize the tactility of heavy wool blazers, crisp pinstriped shirting, and intricate knitwear. By utilizing a seamless light grey background, the campaign strips away all narrative distraction, forcing a direct dialogue between the viewer and the subject. The styling, meticulously supported by hair stylist Joey George and makeup artist Yumi Lee, maintains a natural, understated aesthetic that elevates the everyday uniform into something deeply refined. Across the series of portraits, the deliberate use of natural light ensures that the subtle textures of cotton and wool are rendered with clinical precision, while the subjects’ neutral expressions anchor the imagery in a space of calm, reflective confidence. The resulting commercial campaign successfully reinforces the brand's identity as a bastion of understated elegance, where the focus remains steadfastly on the quality of the garment and the individual personality of the wearer. It is a cohesive visual study in effortless, elevated fashion that avoids trends in favor of a lasting, sophisticated visual language.
