For their FW25/26 collection, they were inspired by the earliest English word for “future” —tōweards. By the looks of it, Outbreak is either a time-travelling trio that’s showing us what they’re wearing in their timeline, or they’ve somehow encapsulated exactly what the future holds in fashion as they’ve quickly grown into a league of their own. Whether it’s using astroid scans sourced from NASA to design their buttons, or working with materials like iron oxide, walnut shells, and pomegranate peels — it’s hard not to feel excited by what they’re doing. We’re looking at the the future of craftsmanship in fashion.

Outbreak Lab’s new collection “Retreat” focuses on traditional techniques, material experimentation, and a slower approach to fashion design. Presented during Paris Fashion Week, it explores how garments can be made using natural processes such as oxidation, hand-dyeing, and locally sourced fibers.
