Chopova Lowena Spring/Summer 2026 flipped varsity spirit into punk chaos
Designers Emma Chopova and Laura Lowena-Irons proved to be the ultimate vibe curators with a heavy-metal soundtrack and pom-pom-adorned designs.

Pep squad meets mosh pit with Chopova Lowena’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection. The Fashion Award-winning designers, Emma Chopova and Laura Lowena-Irons, flipped the high-school hierarchy on its head by asking the question, “What if the weird girl were head cheerleader?”
It’s easy to see why the brand is a favourite among today’s pop stars, including Dua Lipa and Olivia Rodrigo, who wore a custom look for her 2022 Glastonbury set. With Cheercore, subversion meets spectacle in a collection that’s exactly the kind we want to see both on stage and on the streets.



The collection thrives on contrast. Pleated skirts and varsity sweaters sit alongside carabiner-laden skirts, oversized faux-fur coats, and modular track pants. Shoulder-pad panniers and pom-pom-adorned jackets transform sporting references into bold statements. While football lace-up bras and 3D-printed boots fuse function and ornamentation.
Zip-off layers and chainmail accessories draw on tradition but reimagine it for a girl who navigates the world on her own terms, effortlessly shifting from maxi to mini, from armour to adornment.



The runway pulsed to a soundtrack that felt less like a pep rally and more like a chaotic concert: metal collided with cheer chants, and ASMR snippets created a riotous, sensory overload that was utterly addictive.
What makes Chopova Lowena one of London’s most exciting brands is their fearless remix of culture and memory. Nostalgia is reimagined into something entirely of the now.



Ultimately, Cheerlore is a celebration of collective energy and individual flair. Chopova Lowena consistently remixes nostalgia – not as a mere reference, but as a springboard for playful modernity. The collection ignites, rallying girls everywhere to embrace their history, their quirks, and the exhilaration of being seen. On this field, the uniform is optional, but the attitude is mandatory.
