Naomi Campbell Teams Up with Tolu Coker for Spring 2026 Collection

Naomi Campbell has joined forces with British-Nigerian designer Tolu Coker for her Spring/Summer 2026 collection, Unfinished Business. The collaboration is presented as a 15-minute short film rather than a traditional runway show, offering a fresh approach to showcasing fashion.

The film, co-directed by Tolu and her brother Ade Coker, stars Naomi Campbell alongside a cast of Black British women and girls. It tells the story of the collection through visual storytelling, highlighting garments designed for longevity and intergenerational use. Instead of following conventional fashion show formats, the film demonstrates how clothing can be part of personal and family narratives.

Coker’s design philosophy focuses on creating versatile and durable pieces. The collection includes upcycled leathers, deadstock cottons, natural fibers, tailored suits, wide-leg trousers, bombers, and a corseted dress with a double zipper. Each piece is intended to be worn across seasons and passed down, reflecting a practical yet thoughtful approach to design.

Campbell’s involvement extends beyond modelling. In the film, she reflects on her personal journey, stating, “I’ve been a mother to so many. It was time to mother my own.” Her participation complements Coker’s emphasis on storytelling and the significance of fashion in everyday life.

Unfinished Business represents a departure from typical fashion presentations. By using film, Coker and Campbell create a more intimate and considered experience for viewers, focusing on the practical, sustainable, and personal qualities of the collection rather than spectacle.
