Lady Victoria Hervey and Juliet Mayhew Dazzle at Barrus SS26

London Fashion Week welcomed an infusion of heritage, glamour, and modern artistry as Turkish luxury label Barrus unveiled its Spring/Summer 2026 collection, 7 Hills, 7 Heals.

Held at the historic Royal Horseguards Hotel, the show blended Istanbul’s spiritual textures with contemporary tailoring, and brought together a front row and runway cast worthy of global headlines.

The catwalk itself was graced by two distinctive women, each embodying beauty, individuality, and legacy.

Lady Victoria Hervey, aristocrat-turned-entrepreneur, brought her unmistakable jet-set glamour and unapologetic energy, perfectly mirroring Barrus’s ethos of fearless cross-cultural identity.

And Juliet Mayhew, breakout star of The Real Housewives of London and our latest cover star for issue 3, striking presence and candid wit brought a touch of television sparkle to the evening.

At the heart of the 7 Hills, 7 Heals collection lies a poetic tribute to resilience, healing, and femininity. Luminous nanotechnology fabrics shimmered with movement, while aromatherapy-infused scarves, created in collaboration with Art de Huile founder Hulya Kayhan, a respected pharmacist and academician with a master’s degree from King’s College, brought scent into the storytelling, invoking the essence of Istanbul’s seven hills.

“This is a collection about inner light and layered identity,” shared Creative Director Neslisah Yilmaz. “We wanted to celebrate women who are strong, stylish, and unapologetically themselves.”

Lady Victoria Hervey added: “London Fashion Week is one of the highlights of the year, and to be part of such a rich blend of culture, heritage, and beauty feels incredibly special.” 

Meanwhile, Juliet Mayhew summed up the mood with typical candour: “From the aromatic scents to the colours and fabrics, the Barrus show is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. It’s pure Istanbul glamour on a London stage.”

Following the show, Barrus are hosting private showroom previews in London and Paris, as well as select editorial activations and luxury pop-ups — ensuring the spirit of 7 Hills, 7 Heals resonates far beyond the runway.
