Mr. Larkin’s SS27 Collection Is A Little Bit Lucky

I have a soft spot for clothes that don't take themselves too seriously, and Mr. Larkin's Spring/Summer 2027 collection feels like exactly that kind of wardrobe. For its first-ever Copenhagen Fashion Week runway, the Copenhagen-based label looked back at its history while making a very convincing case for whatever comes next.

Titled Lucky, the collection marks 13 years since founder and creative director Casey Blond re-established Mr. Larkin in Copenhagen. Thirteen has always been Blond's lucky number, but the collection isn't really about superstition. It's about surviving long enough to still care about making clothes, dressing people, and having something new to say.

Clothes For Actual Life

What immediately stands out is how personal the collection feels. Blond draws from Texas, Copenhagen, travel, vintage finds, and years of building a wardrobe around real people rather than imaginary fashion girls.

The silhouettes move between everyday pieces and something a little more special, with soft pale tones interrupted by color, lace, embellishment, and hand-beaded details. Talisman-like motifs bring the idea of luck into the clothes without making it feel overly literal.

I especially like that the collection doesn't seem interested in telling you exactly when something should be worn. A beaded piece can work for an occasion, but it can also become the thing that makes an otherwise ordinary Tuesday outfit feel like yours.

Styling Is The Whole Point

Blond describes herself less as a traditional designer and more as a stylist and clothing storyteller, and that distinction really matters here.

The collection feels designed from the perspective of someone standing in front of her wardrobe deciding what she actually wants to wear. Silk blends sit alongside cotton, lace, and deadstock fabrics, while new slides and soft metallic footwear give the styling another layer.

There is something refreshing about fashion that starts with the person wearing it rather than the runway image. These clothes aren't asking to be admired from a distance. They want to be mixed, repeated, dressed up, dressed down, and eventually become part of someone's life.

Thirteen Years Later, It Still Feels Personal

SS27 also marks the return of Mr. Larkin's wholesale business after an eight-year break, with the brand expanding its presence internationally through new showroom partnerships in New York and Paris.

But despite that bigger next chapter, the collection doesn't feel like a reinvention designed to impress the industry. It feels more like a continuation. The vintage references, eclectic styling, and slightly unexpected combinations are still there, just with a clearer sense of where the brand wants to go.

And maybe that's what makes Lucky such an appropriate title. There is something pretty special about making it through thirteen years of fashion's constant changes and still being able to make clothes that feel like they belong to you.

For me, that's the real luxury here. Not having the newest thing, but finding something you genuinely want to keep wearing.
