“Lale Devri”—Spring Summer 26 Collection

It all began with the Lale; the tulip a bloom so treasured it gave its name to an era.

The Tulip Age, or Lale Devri, marked a golden chapter of Ottoman history: a time when art, poetry, and beauty flourished in the shadow of palaces and gardens. To the people, the tulip became more than a flower, it was love made eternal, a fleeting moment captured in silk, tile, and tapestry. It was paradise itself, blooming in vivid colour.

In the Lale Devri Collection, Kate Ford steps into this fabled garden, we reimagine heritage in a modern light. The collection explores the rhythm of ancient pattern-making, florals entwined with geometric symmetry, reminiscent of hand-worked tapestries and ceremonial textiles. There is a strength in these motifs, a language that connects us to tradition while moving with ease into the present. The palette shifts between terracotta reds, bosphorus blues, pistachio greens, and gilded ambers, echoing both the heat of summer and the cool serenity of Ottoman gardens.

Each silhouette becomes a chapter in this story, gowns that bloom with movement, soft tailoring that recalls the strength of carved stone pillars, and resort pieces that balance ease with grandeur. Together, they embody a love story carried through time, once powerful enough to move empires, now blossoms anew in cloth and silhouette.

Join us in the Lale Devri, where beauty blooms eternal.
