For Autumn/Winter 26/27, Charles & Ron do not merely present a collection - they stage an ode.
Inspired by the architectural splendour, layered history and emotional memory of the Teatru Manoel, this show becomes a living dialogue between fashion and theatre. Between costume and character. Between past and present.
Built in 1731, Teatru Manoel is one of Europe’s oldest working theatres - intimate, gilded, resilient. Its walls have absorbed nearly three centuries of applause, silence, war, laughter, grief, debut and farewell. This collection draws from that atmosphere: the patina of gold leaf, the velvet hush before curtain rise, the drama of balconies stacked like jewellery boxes, the rituals backstage that transform cloth into identity.
Tonight, the theatre is not a venue. It is muse, witness, and co-star.
