At the fall 2026 fashion shows, Sisi Li emphasized, “the whole idea, everything I do, is about the layering. It’s not about a season; it’s about something that you need in your closet.” As a seasoned expert at Nells Nelson, she specializes in subtle tailoring that is as much about the texture of the fabric as it is about the silhouette. Her clients, once they experience the luxurious cashmere of her suits, find it difficult to switch to anything else, which is why she is focusing heavily on custom work.
This latest collection is set to delight both her loyal followers and newcomers to her designs. She has introduced vibrant colors like deep bordeaux, caramel, and a teal-ish navy, and experimented with new styles, such as full trousers cropped above the ankles. A double-breasted jacket comes with matching scarves, adding a stylish flair to a practical ensemble. Another design includes a three-button single-breasted jacket with stand-up lapels, ideal for evening wear, even when paired with innovative wool jeans featuring contrasting warp and weft threads. A standout piece in the collection is a cape featuring quilted details around the collar, which can double as a hood when needed.
