Lady Amelia Windsor Walks the Catwalk for Peruvian Connection's 50th Anniversary

Lady Amelia Windsor, 31, showcased bohemian glamour on the runway as American brand Peruvian Connection celebrated its 50th anniversary with an exclusive showing of its Autumn/Winter 2026 collection in London.

The granddaughter of the Duke of Kent, who is 45th in line to the throne, opened and closed the show, modeling statement pieces from the collection. She appeared in the Springbok jacquard-knit maxi dress in Fawn, priced at £519, made from Peruvian Pima cotton, and the reversible Montmartre jacket, an Italian shearling design costing £2,750.

"I absolutely love the collection. Peruvian Connection’s materials are beautiful, and the craftsmanship is exquisite," Lady Amelia said. "It was a lot of pressure to open and close the show, but it was a huge honour, and I’m so grateful."

The brand's latest collection highlighted its heritage and craftsmanship, marking five decades of intricate knitwear, rich textures, and natural materials. Annie Hurlbut, Founder and CEO of Peruvian Connection, stated, "For fifty years, Peruvian Connection has celebrated artistry, craftsmanship and cultural discovery." She added, "Our refreshed identity and the return of our men’s collection reflect our commitment to timeless design, extraordinary natural fibres, and the artisans whose work has inspired us since 1976."

Other models on the runway included Lilly Becker, Juliet Mayhew of "The Real Housewives of London," and "Bridgerton" actress Genevieve Chenneour.
