Barrus returned to London Fashion Week with the unveiling of its evocative Spring/Summer 2026 collection, 7 Hills, 7 Heals, following its acclaimed debut earlier this year.
Barrus, Spring/Summer 2026
Inspired by the layered spirit of Istanbul – a city built upon seven storied hills – this collection invites audiences into a multisensory world where scent, texture, light, and memory unite in a celebration of resilience and feminine strength. Rooted in cultural memory and emotional storytelling, 7 Hills, 7 Heals blends the spirit of Istanbul’s spiritual landmarks, natural textures, and historic architecture into a contemporary, wearable narrative.

The 32-piece collection features silk, chiffon, crepe, and specially woven textiles, brought to life through refined tailoring, sculptural layering, and fluid movement. Each look embodies a chapter of transformation: from grounded stone to flowing water, from solitude to reconnection.

Creative Director Neslisah Yilmaz said, “This collection is a love letter to the city that shaped me. Istanbul has always been more than a place – it is a living soul with many layers. 7 Hills, 7 Heals is a journey through her scents, textures, and hidden lights. Having Amelia, Victoria, and Juliet with us adds a real-world expression of that quiet strength and layered beauty we celebrate this season.”
Appearing in the show were aristocrat-turned-entrepreneur Lady Victoria Hervey, whose jet-set glamour and outspoken spirit perfectly embody Barrus’s cross-cultural ethos, and Juliet Mayhew, breakout star of The Real Housewives of London, known for her candid wit and striking presence.
