LINDA FARROW UNVEILS SS27 ROOM SERVICE

Linda Farrow has unveiled its SS27 collection, Room Service, ahead of Silmo 2026. Inspired by the great five-star hotels of London, the collection draws on the sumptuous atmosphere of 1970s hotel life, exploring “a world where luxury is found in every detail – where product, service and experience are considered with equal care.” The palette moves through scarlet interiors, warm taupes, deep browns and burnt orange tones, evoking polished wood, plush lounges and mirrored bars.

Rooted in the brand’s heritage of glamour and craftsmanship, each frame is handcrafted in Japan using fine materials and precise techniques. The collection considers how different generations experience luxury today, celebrating the dynamic between mother and daughter while recognizing that each values something distinct. “Room Service captures both worlds through a cinematic lens – celebrating women who move through life with sophistication, presence and their own distinct sense of style.”

The SS27 collection features a range of signature design details across its frames. Highlights include a reintroduced 1970s heritage logo applied in fine white ink, an industrialized titanium eyelet plate with hand-painted colour contrasts, sculpted Japanese titanium frames with precision bevelling, and a decorative encased core wire suspended beneath crystal acetate with Linda Farrow’s signature honeycomb detailing. Additional standouts include precious metal-plated lenses on the Marcelo and Sadie frames and photochromic lenses by Barberini on the Meret, featuring adaptive molecular technology that responds to changing light conditions.

Linda Farrow will present the SS27 Room Service collection at Silmo 2026 in Hall 7, Stand C037. For more information, visit lindafarrow.com.
