JOSHUA KANE
FASHION DESIGNER & TAILOR
THE MANDRAKE PROUDLY PRESENTS JOSHUA KANE AS ITS NOVEMBER ARTIST IN RESIDENCE, FEATURING HIS LATEST COLLECTION “THE SHIPWRECKED TAILORS”.
16th November: Joshua Kane’s Fashion Show at The Mandrake
18th-20th November: Exhibition in Masha Hari Theatre
The Mandrake is thrilled to host Joshua Kane on Thursday, 16th November for ‘The Shipwrecked Tailors,’ marking his return to the London fashion scene.
This exclusive showcase is set to be one of the tailor’s most intimate and unique live experiences to date and follows on from last year’s Dandy Rebels runway (showcased in the USA). The new collection draws inspiration from three nineteenth-century London tailors whose stories have woven through Kane’s iconic collections.
Following the mesmerizing catwalk, the collection will be “shipwrecked” in The Mandrake’s Masha Hari Theatre, offering a bespoke and immersive display from the 18th to the 20th of November. This exhibition is open to the public during regular business hours, and you can visit without reservations.
If you would like to meet the artist, learn about his work, and witness Joshua in action, join us during the open studio hours listed below, which provide an exclusive opportunity for in-house guests and admirers to engage with Joshua and his artistry. Joshua will also provide private fittings for his exclusive clientele (by appointment only) at Studio 5, where he will be based during his residence.

We are excited to welcome Joshua Kane as our esteemed Artist in Residence and provide out guests with the chance to experience his exceptional work. Joshua Kane will be in residence at The Mandrake from 16th to 20th November, offering open studio hours without the need for pre-booking.
Kane’s enduring connection with The Mandrake began six years ago when he attended the hotel’s opening party. The synergy between the creative destination and Kane’s eccentric tailoring resonates, making this collaboration truly special.
Kane’s presentations are more than traditional runway shows; they are theatrical performances that aim to captivate and provoke the audience. For a limited time, the public is invited to experience his craftsmanship firsthand.
Kane shares his excitement, stating, “After a 4-year absence from presenting in London, I’m thrilled to bring the runway experience back home. I’ve always been a rule breaker and love to challenge the norm, keeping people on their toes and excited for what’s next.“
Artistry is at the heart of The Mandrake’s philosophy, and its Artist in Residence program highlights emerging and established artists and performers every month. The hotel is delighted to add Joshua Kane to its growing list of talented residents, which has previously included renowned names such as Mark Mahoney, A$AP Rocky/Slawn collaborative, Jonas Burgert, and Haris Nukem.
