KSENIASCHNAIDER x Lee Cooper
This season KSENIASCHNAIDER joins forces with Lee Cooper in a limited capsule collection fusing Lee Cooper’s authentic British denim legacy with Schnaider’s avant-garde, upcycled aesthetic. Founded in London in 1908 with beginnings in workwear, Lee Cooper’s rich history over a century established its iconic status as the Original British Denim brand making it the natural partner for one of contemporary fashion's most pioneering denim visionaries to make their London Fashion Week catwalk debut.
Being able to collaborate with Britain’s original denim brand for our London catwalk debut makes Lee Cooper the perfect partner this season. Going beyond denim, Lee Cooper’s roots in workwear, durability, and functionality are a common space underlying both our brands, and its an honour to be given the creative freedom to apply our vision and philosophy to a denim brand with over a century of heritage and continue the conversation on a more sustainable, more experimental, and more exciting denim industry for the future.
The collaboration covers four women’s and six men’s looks as the designer reintroduces menswear on her return to London Fashion Week. Crafted from upcycled Lee Cooper denim, each reworked item is individually assembled in Schnaider’s Kyiv studio launching to market for spring summer 2026. This collaboration unites heritage values and craftsmanship with experimental design to create a dialogue between authenticity and innovation, merging classic denim DNA whilst pushing the fabric’s story forward for a new generation.
