But for AW26, it’s not Notting Hill’s colourful houses or celebrity residents taking centre stage. Instead, it’s something far more relatable – the weather. Because if you’ve spent more than five minutes in London, you’ll know the struggle. One minute it’s glorious sunshine, the next you’re digging through your bag for an umbrella, only for the clouds to disappear – before you’ve had a chance to open it. That’s the slightly chaotic energy behind Kurt Geiger London’s latest collection, which sees the brand head to Notting Hill with a campaign starring fashion favourite Julia Sarr-Jamois. The imagery moves through sunshine, rain and even snow, celebrating the reality of life in the city and proving that while the forecast may be unpredictable, but your accessories don’t have to be. Rain or shine, the latest Kurt Geiger collection is here to make a statement. (Picture: Metro/Kurt Geiger) At the heart of the collection are fresh takes on some of Kurt Geiger’s most-loved styles. The iconic Kensington bag returns in new textures and finishes, complete with the signature eagle hardware that’s become a favourite with the brand, while the Chelsea family has also been given a new-season refresh – and I love it. These boots are 100% on our autumn wish list – or just the next pay day. (Picture: Metro/Kurt Geiger) Personally, it’s the footwear that’s caught my attention. The new Stomp boots feel perfectly timed for autumn, striking that sweet spot between practical and fashion-forward. Chunky enough to handle puddle-filled pavements yet cool enough to elevate even the simplest outfit – and they’re exactly the kind of boots I’d reach for on days when the weather app can’t seem to make its mind up. Suede or moc croc? Kurt Geiger always has every bag material you need. (Picture: Metro/Kurt Geiger) Elsewhere, you’ll find luxe suedes, glossy patent finishes, slouchy bags and statement details that feel distinctly Kurt Geiger. It’s polished, playful and packed with pieces that can take you from the office to dinner without missing a beat. The Ceila Flap bag is a timeless classic if you want to invest in a good bag for the next season. (Picture: Metro/Kurt Geiger) What I like most, though, is that it doesn’t feel trend-chasing. Instead, it’s a collection built around real life, albeit a particularly stylish version of it. These are the sort of bags and shoes you’ll pull out season after season, regardless of what the weather decides to do. So what are you waiting for? Shop the gorgeous collection, and invest in a piece you’ll want to dig out time and time again.
