Milan Fashion Week got a necessary dose of color and joy when twin designers Bruce and Glen Proctor shut down the runway with their BruceGlen Spring 2026 collection. This wasn’t just another fashion show — it was a powerful display of Black excellence and a vibrant celebration of living fully and freely in the moment.
Seeing two of our own shine on a global stage, infusing their work with a joy that feels deeply familiar, was pure cultural pride.
The collection was a masterclass in their signature style: bold, saturated colors — electric blues, sun‑drenched yellows, purples, and hot pinks — that lit up every skin tone. Joyful prints, playful silhouettes, and iconic animal patterns returned with fresh energy, reminding us of the confidence and flair we bring to everything we do.
Models owned the catwalk in designs that moved with undeniable spirit. New plaid chiffons added an airy sophistication, while the recurring bubble motif symbolized precious moments of joy. As Bruce explained: “We wanted to capture that feeling of a perfect, happy moment, like a bubble you want to hold onto.” That vision came alive in voluminous sleeves and rounded skirts that were both fun and high‑fashion.
With Spring 2026, BruceGlen didn’t just present clothes — they created a feeling. An invitation to embrace color, delight in the now, and remember that our joy is our power.
