JOHN LOBB AUTUMN/WINTER 2026: INTERPRETING BRITISH STYLE THROUGH FUNCTIONAL DESIGN

British bootmaker John Lobb unveils its Autumn/Winter 2026 collection at Paris Fashion Week.

A collection infused with elements and references drawn from the English menswear stylistic repertoire, without ever becoming a literal interpretation. Shoes that speak the unmistakable language of John Lobb, with a free and subtle evocation of British codes. Lobb also celebrates its emblematic models by incorporating new construction details and refined embellishments.

The iconic WILLIAM line, instantly recognizable by its double buckle, continues to evolve with the creation of a boot version, the WILLIAM NEW STANDARD JUMPER, inspired by the world of British aviation. As for the WILLIAM NEW STANDARD with its lugged rubber sole, it is now available in a patchwork version combining different leather finishes.

The iconic FREDDI and LOPEZ styles are offered in Bristle Hide leather in a new Oxblood shade, with rich burgundy-red nuances.

ATRIUM, the new prestige model of the season, takes inspiration from tuxedo slippers, featuring a softer, more minimal silhouette than traditional evening shoes. It reflects John Lobb’s signature approach: preserving uncompromising quality while introducing contemporary stylistic elements. A delicate balance that runs through all the creations of the house.

The SMITH derby line is expanded with a new interpretation. Rooted in the British rock and ska aesthetic of the 1980s, this shoe stands out with its creeper-inspired sole. The new SMITH CHUKKA adopts an unprecedented, more assertive and hi-gher-cut silhouette, and is adorned with two removable tassels with deliberately exaggerated proportions.

REGI was conceived from traditional English riding boots, designed to accompany every rhythm of daily life, whatever the season, thanks to its rubber sole. Part of the Officer line launched last winter, it is enhanced with a discreet zip for optimal comfort.

As for SOMMET, it draws its inspiration from a mountain boot found in the John Lobb archives of the 1950s. Designed to withstand the most demanding conditions, it offers optimal waterproofing thanks to its lugged Norwegian welt. Its lowered lace closure ensures support and comfort, while its rubber sole, inspired by ski boots, asserts a modern and technical character.

Unveiled last winter, HIGHLAND takes its cues from the iconic English rain boot. This season, it is lined with wool to face winter in warmth, both in the city and in the mountains. Crafted with a waterproof Norwegian welt, it is made from waxed leather, designed to develop a patina and become more beautiful over time.

Extending John Lobb’s functional approach, a new pair of leather gloves joins the collection. Handmade in France with the same stitching as the BATH and PACE loafers, they are lined with cashmere and finished with a zipped closure featuring an oval signature pull tab, as well as touchscreen-sensitive thumb and index finger.

The Autumn/Winter 2026 collection will be available in John Lobb boutiques and on johnlobb.com from June 2026.
