MITHRIDATE Makes the New Romantics Ultra-Sexy Again
Dig out MITHRIDATE’s ultra-sexy Spring/Summer 2027 runway show collection.
By Daniel Fletcher, from the world of the New Romantics and 1980s Britain — but not as a costume-party rerun. Fletcher takes that era’s glamour, theatricality and refusal to behave, then twists it through MITHRIDATE’s own increasingly recognizable codes.
For his fourth collection at the house, Fletcher looked to the scene around London’s legendary Blitz Club, where fashion, music and self-invention all blurred together. The result is bolder, more playful and a lot more seductive than a simple nostalgia trip.

New Romantic, but make it MITHRIDATE.
Daniel Fletcher turns 1980s London, military dress, theatre costume and club-kid glamour into one very sexy Spring/Summer 2027 collection.

The collection borrows from the Victorian and Edwardian military dress the New Romantics loved to raid, then throws those ideas against abandoned-theatre fantasy: bubble hems, feathered bodices, tulle, corsetry and ballerina references that keep the whole thing hovering between uniform and dress-up.
And then Fletcher turns up the heat. Low-slung briefs tied with fringed scarves, exposed suspender clips, micro shorts and tiny knits sit beside broad-shouldered jackets, billowing trenches and relaxed denim. Nothing is allowed to settle into one neat silhouette for too long.
That play with proportion is what keeps the 1980s reference from becoming retro drag. Oversized studs land on easy denim, ballet sweetness collides with tailoring, and sporty pieces keep breaking up the romance. The clothes know the history, but they are not trapped inside it.
Fletcher has described the mood as a kind of collision between Princess Diana and Princess Julia heading into the Blitz Club — preppy British codes on one side, underground nightclub fantasy on the other. That mash-up explains why the collection can move from cable knits and rugby references to feathers, corsets and kitten heels without losing its nerve.
Now let the runway do the talking. The full visual hit moves from military-flavored tailoring and oversized denim into sheer layers, exposed skin, feathers, tutus and enough attitude to make the whole New Romantic reference feel freshly dangerous again.
