Feathers, corsets, oversized bows, and sculpted silhouettes filled Claridge’s ballroom.
Reed presented his 11th season under the title MULTIFARIOUS, offering his largest lineup to date. This season introduces a new chapter for the brand through the debut of Fluid Bridal.
Fluid Bridal expands who gets to be a bride
The collection opened with four veiled looks in magenta, cerulean and seafoam, marking the first appearance of Reed’s bridal collection. Fluid Bridal is designed for all genders and centers on the idea that bridal wear should reflect the person wearing it.

The four styles included a sheer embroidered lace dress paired with flared trousers and a draped back top, a satin mermaid gown with tulle detailing, and a corseted skirt with panels that added volume and movement. One design was inspired by the first bespoke wedding dress Reed created for fashion influencer Camille Charrière, while another referenced what Reed wore to his own wedding, a Chantilly lace shirt styled with flared trousers. The lace pieces stood out for their sensuality and structure, offering bridal options that felt expressive yet still elegant.
Multifarious explores maximalism with intention
Beyond bridal, Multifarious explored maximalism as a deliberate creative language. Reed described the collection as a personal interpretation of maximalism, using texture, color, and shape to build character.
Rich jacquards and silk contrasted with velvet and shiny materials, and feathers were layered over structured tailoring. A blue silk jacket featured an exaggerated gold quilted collar, while a silver dress combined velvet and feather panels. Large bows in fuchsia and chartreuse added brightness against deeper tones of cobalt, pink, and oxblood.
The layering of materials created contrast throughout the collection. Opaque fabrics were often set against sheer elements. Print also played an important role this season through Reed’s continued collaboration with Fromental, a luxury wallcoverings house known for hand-painted interiors. Their prints appeared on satin dresses with feather trim, while the The Fromental x Harris Reed “Ambiguous Tiger” print returned in new blue and oxblood versions across dresses and silk suits.
Structured design with greater wearability
Corsetry remained central to the brand’s identity. High curved necklines framed the face, and caged waists emphasized the hips and shoulders.
Suits skimmed the body and revealed laced backs, and a long-cut slip dress introduced a simpler take within the lineup. The overall direction maintained Reed’s signature drama while allowing the clothes to feel more practical for clients who want statement pieces they can actually wear.
“Some people define maximalism as being ‘too much’ or without intention. I use it as a tool to character-build,” Reed said. “This season is as theatrical as we always are, but I hope there’s some more wearability. We want to really affirm the world, the lifestyle.”
Expanding the Harris Reed universe
Reed has been open about the realities of building a fashion house today, and collaboration continues to play a key role in his growth. Alongside his ongoing jewelry partnership with Missoma, he is expanding into interiors, with a home line set to launch soon.
