After several seasons of runway shows, designer Daniel Gayle and his husband, artistic director James Bosley, decided to showcase their Autumn Winter 2026 collection a little differently. The collection was instead presented at the historic October Gallery, a cultural hotspot located in central London. Immediately upon stepping into the room, the atmosphere shifts into something softer, more intimate. In the center of the gallery stands a circle of no more than 10 faceless mannequins showcasing this season’s collection. A light piano accompaniment plays in the background, lending itself to the ambience of it all. Titled London Belongs to Me, the denzilpatrick Autumn Winter 2026 collection is curated, refined, and undoubtedly denzilpatrick.
Autumn Winter 2026
London Belongs to Me
This collection marks 5 years of denzilpatrick and it’s clear that London is at the epicentre, but there’s more to it than meets the eye. The story is as follows: Denzil and Patrick, Gayle’s two grandfathers, arrived in London with a dream and impeccable style. This collection is an homage to Gayle’s family, set in modern London and an imagination of how they may have dressed themselves today. It’s timeless, a creative melding of Edwardian dandyism and of the contemporary Londoner.
Denzilpatrick’s signature tailoring can be seen in each and every garment. The structure of each look is distinguished and masculine. The beauty of each piece lies within the finer details: intricately embroidered panels, delicate lace undershirts, crystal embellishments, feather cravats. Denzilpatrick explores a new era of menswear that can effortlessly balance masculinity and femininity. The detailing in each piece calls upon the audience to look closer, to pay attention.
The silhouettes within the collection highlight both the vintage and modern influences. We see a collared shirt paired with cuffed trousers and sneakers, a modern zip jacket with feathered coattails, panelling details that emulate coat lapels. Each look is imaginative and exciting in a way characteristic of denzilpatrick.

This collection includes a partnership with PUMA, showcasing several looks with the iconic PUMA Suede. A collaboration that just makes sense – PUMA Suedes have endured within fashion, lasting beyond merely a single trend cycle. Similarly to denzilpatrick, PUMA is a brand with heritage and continued relevancy; together, the two have created brands that have evolved with the world whilst maintaining their strong identity.
A brilliant collection to mark the 5th year of denzilpatrick, Gayle and Bosley continue to move the brand forward in a new and exciting direction. Quintessentially London, the collection does a remarkable job of bringing the city to life using only needle and thread. With clothing as the medium, a story is told – the returning chapter of Denzil and Patrick.
