86 Talent Launches New Fashion Division – The Next Chapter

By Mariella Cunningham

86 Talent is delighted to announce the launch of our Fashion Roster; championing exceptional, diverse and creative talent in the UK fashion space, we are excited for what 2026 has in store.

We’re excited to share an important milestone in the continued growth of 86 Talent. Mariella Cunningham has stepped into the role of Fashion Lead, heading up the launch of 86 Talent’s exciting new Fashion Division.

When we first launched, 86 Talent was rooted firmly in the home and lifestyle space, building a reputation for thoughtful creator partnerships and authentic storytelling. As the agency has grown and evolved, so too has the scope of our work, naturally expanding into fashion, beauty, skincare, and makeup.

Over recent years, we’ve partnered with an increasing number of leading lifestyle, beauty, and fashion brands, and it quickly became clear that this area of the business deserved its own dedicated focus. Launching a separate Fashion Division, with a distinct roster and specialist team, simply made sense.

A Dedicated Fashion Roster

Our newly launched Fashion Division brings together a diverse collective of fashion talent, championing creators, influencers, and storytellers who combine strong personal style with authentic, audience-led content.

We’ve already welcomed exciting new fashion creators to the agency, with conversations ongoing across January and beyond as we continue to carefully build the roster.

Looking ahead, we’re set to double our fashion roster by the end of the year, alongside expanding our fashion-focused team to support this growth and deliver best in class partnerships.

Trusted by Industry-Leading Brands

86 Talent has already collaborated with some of the industry’s most recognisable names across fashion & beauty, including Burberry, FatFace, H&M, John Lewis, Frasers Group, ICONIC London, Charlotte Tilbury, Hairburst, Skin + Me, Vinted, and many more.

These partnerships reflect our belief that the most impactful fashion and beauty campaigns are built on authentic talent, strategic thinking, and creative storytelling; values that sit at the core of everything we do.

Looking Ahead

This is an incredibly exciting time for 86 Talent as we head into 2026. With a growing roster, an expanding team, and ambitious plans for the Fashion Division, we’re only just getting started.

Fashion creators looking to join one of the UK’s leading boutique talent agencies, we’d love to hear from you.

Brands planning fashion or beauty campaigns for 2026, let’s connect and collaborate.

The next chapter of fashion and beauty at 86 Talent is officially underway!
