YOUR WARDROBE HAS SOME NEW HEROES

Amid the monotonous morning commute, one woman dares to stand out. But with great style comes great responsibility – and her bold outfit has her questioning everything. Is it too much? Will everyone look at me? When the world is following trends, setting them can feel overwhelming. But that’s where our SS26 heroes, Style Supremo and Trend Avenger, come in. Their mission? To remind all of us that style is our ultimate superpower – and when we wear the right clothes, confidence follows. Soon, our heroine is imbued with a renewed sense of courage and imagination, adding the finishing touch of a woven pillbox hat to her joyful ensemble and striding through the city with ease.

The daily routine is filled with obstacles – be it a lack of inspiration or the pressure to fit in. For our second SS26 comic strip, ASOS tapped into the everyday challenges that throw our wardrobe off course. Enter: The Regulator. They crave conformity, discourage style risks and transform would-be fashion lovers into greyscale crowds. But The Regulator is no match for Style Supremo and Trend Avenger, who use their powers of creativity and originality to revive the 9-5. Suddenly, passersby find themselves dressed in head-to-toe looks from the new collection – a sculptural suit, a draped dress and a statement bomber. And where great style goes, power follows. The city explodes in full colour, and the humdrum rhythms of the street become a canvas for unique style.

A commuter’s brand-new co-ord is ruined when she spills her coffee on the train. But wait! Trend Avenger and Style Supremo are never far away, and provide a stylish solution, stat! The stained jacket is suddenly embellished with vintage-inspired brooches, creating a customised and wholly unique ‘fit our fellow commuters can’t get enough of. It’s the perfect reminder that not only are joy and resilience key ingredients in transforming your outlook, but style is a canvas of limitless possibilities. All it takes is a little fun, imagination and maybe a brooch or two.
