Hailing from Pasig, Philippines, Simoun Andres is a designer whose path has steadily led toward global relevance. And on the 21st of February 2026, at the distinguished House of iKons Fashion Week London held at the Leonardo Royal Tower Bridge Hotel, one such moment happened when Simoun Andres took to the runway with a collection that spoke in structure, spirit, and soulful intention.
Simoun has always infused his creations with intention, sustainability, and a reverence for cultural identity. He creates fashion designs that feel like subtle shifts in the wind, these designs are soft at first, almost inaudible, but then they are always unmistakably transformative. Simoun’s designs moved far beyond the runway display, he made fashion that felt like a heartbeat, and a safe place for an intersection where cultural heritage, craftsmanship, and modern aesthetics can all coexist harmoniously, converging to tell a story of identity, power, and the beauty of thoughtful design. Simoun Andres’s show was no mere presentation, it was a reflective exhibition of personality and style woven with cloth and precision.
Fashion, at its core, is a lot of things, but most importantly is a dialogue between the creator and the wearer, and an invitation to see yourself more, not just as a passive observer, but as an active participant in the stories that clothes can tell. While some may have already known Simoun for luxurious bridal and eveningwear, his presence on the international stage including his appearances at fashion weeks in New York, Milan, and now London, really speaks to a broader evolution.
Simoun Andres amidst his presentation unveiled a collection under the evocative title “Sovereign Eclipse.” This collection isn’t merely a stylistic label, rather it’s a conceptual frame that speaks to how fashion can echo the rhythms of power and introspection. Simoun Andres’s display of fashion was a literal invitation for us to consider fashion as both armor and expression. Each of the pieces created and displayed, felt meticulously composed, as though every seam and silhouette was part of a larger poetic conversation.
Simoun Andres’s collection ranged from tailored jackets with architectural intent to gowns that seemed to move like living sculptures. The collection was structural, but in the best way. This sculptural mindset wasn’t about excess; it was about precision, and finding balance between restrained wires and bold lines, merging traditional tailoring with forms that felt new and expressive. Each garment carved space around the body not to restrict, but to honor the wearer’s presence.
Simoun Andres made use of fabrics that were rich, tactile, and purposeful, with craftsmanship skills that catered to the longevity of the clothes. Textures alternated between lustrous satins and understated matte finishes. The materiality of this collection was with intention, giving depth to the collection’s narrative. The collection also had a well thought out color scheme that created expressive contrasts that read as both modern and timeless at once.
For Simoun Andres, “Sovereign Eclipse” represents more than another collection, it marks a milestone in his journey toward international visibility, but also a continuation of his dedication to meaningful creative expression, and his ethos to honour heritage while embracing innovation. His designs were deeply resonating through every cut, fold, and finish. He displayed sharp trousers, structured blazers, and pieces with an assertive cut that evoked a classical yet contemporary sense of authority.
This collection wasn’t fashion for fashion’s sake alone, it was fashion as a form of reflection, as a story, and as a declaration of self identity. It’s a reminder that clothes are not just seen; they are felt. Simoun’s “Sovereign Eclipse” collection did not only display structured elements, but also garments with softer edges, layered skirts and fluid fabrics that moved with ease. This graceful flow juxtaposed beautifully with the sculptural pieces, reminding the audience that strength and softness can coexist beautifully.
Indeed, on the runway, his models walked not just with garments, but with a palpable presence, which is a testament on how intention and artistry can result in fashion that feels alive. There’s a line in fashion where vision becomes voice, and that’s what Simoun walked finely across during his show at the House of iKons. The House of iKons has made its name as a platform with purpose, one that celebrates designers whose work reflects global narratives, individuality, and cultural richness rather than just fleeting trends.
Simoun Andres’s exhibit was one of the most anticipated shows of the day, his record in the fashion industry created an excitement in the hearts of many. And his designs didn’t disappoint. He made a show that was reflecting on the beauty and intention behind the “Sovereign Eclipse” collection, a display that invites everyone to wear what makes them feel seen, anchored, and true to their own narrative. Because fashion isn’t made to serve as just garments, or cover ups, but as a form embracing your independence with grace, confidence, and poise.
