Charlie Constantinou SS26

What resonates strongest this season is how history is present but never loud. It flickers at the edge of perception rather than dictating the narrative.

Ewuise SS26

From the first look, there’s a duality at play, exhaustion and euphoria. The grit of wet concrete and the freedom of a midnight breeze.

Hector Maclean SS26

Once upon a time, in a London crypt Hector Maclean unleashed a heroine. Not just any heroine, but one forged in fire, light, and self confrontation. The Girl Who Ate the Dragon, his SS26 collection, translated personal battle into couture poetry.

Ray Chu SS26

What makes SS26 deeply compelling is its sensory layering. Sustainability isn’t an afterthought, it’s the root system. Chu continues his commitment to mindful creation by fusing upcycled, plant based fabrics with next generation materials.

YAKU SS26

As we stepped back into the real world, it became clear that this wasn’t merely a fashion presentation. It was a family gathering, a landscape of memory stitched into motion.

Completedworks SS26

Just when you think Completedworks could not possibly outdo itself, it produces Jerry Hall.

LABRUM SS26

I was completely beyond words and that was a terrible predicament to be in when one is a writer. But this extravaganza of a show was just too much to take in all at once. I have never been so culturally imbued in my entire life.

Mark Fast SS26

The palette runs pale stone, frosted pink, muted yellow, cream and nude, colors softened and weathered like polished glass shaped by the sea. These tones don’t shout; they glow quietly, allowing texture and form to do the emotional heavy lifting.

Keburia SS26

The collection is a merge of worlds where inspiration is pulled from both history and the digital realm, brought to life through bold silhouettes and sculptural textures. There’s a constant push‑pull between severity and play.

Prototypes SS26

Series09 is described as “a memory of an inclusive and welcoming Britain,” a phrase that reads almost like a question when set against the backdrop of anti immigration rallies and counter protests that filled London’s streets just days before. Prototypes’ answer is not to retreat into rose tinted nationalism, but to confront the British flag and its loaded visual language head on.

Sprayground SS26

The runway channeled the gritty, fearless spirit of New York streetwear into a more avant-garde London facing language, transforming travel pieces into protagonists rather than supporting characters.

Maison ARTC AW25

London Fashion Week is always a whirlwind of creativity, but Maison ARTC’s AW25 presentation, "Coming Home", was a standout moment, a love letter to Morocco woven from memory, diaspora, and reinvention. Artsi Ifrach, the visionary behind the label, delivered a collection that felt both deeply personal and universally resonant, blending vintage textiles with contemporary storytelling.

Maison Sara Chraibi AW25

Chraibi, one of only two North African designers on the LFW schedule (whose work was more well suited for the Paris Haute Couture Week schedule), drew from the very air around us; fluffy clouds, midnight skies, and starlight. Her signature fusion of Moroccan modesty and European glamour shimmered through. Ethereally translucent organza coats draped over silk skirts and beaded constellations trailed down gowns like falling stars.

YAKU AW25

Arrival at the show consisted of receiving a Passport book and answering a short questionnaire to see which group you belong in. Are you an adventurer, warrior or an introspective thinker? From that point, we began our journey through the YAKU Universe of various vignettes and of course through a journey of fashion.

Hector Maclean AW25

Walking into St. Paul’s Church for Hector Maclean’s AW25 show, "Bastard Aristocrat", the atmosphere was buzzing with anticipation, equal parts reverence and rebellion. The setting alone, with rain-slicked cobblestones and Union Jack umbrellas bobbing outside, felt like a metaphor for Maclean’s collection, a collision of sacred tradition and anarchic energy. As the wind picked up one of the umbrellas and set it flying majestically across the runway, the show begins...

Keburia AW25

Designer George Keburia, known for his sculptural silhouettes and gothic undertones, delivered a collection that felt like a love letter to nocturnal glamour, with a dash of Georgian folklore. This season, Keburia played with contrasts in surrealism and traditionalism.

Pauline Dujancourt AW25

When the PR person at a show tells you to sit front row instead of your designated second row seat, it is like getting upgraded to First from Economy Plus on a flight. When I got upgraded, I knew this show was going to be special. Pauline Dujancourt’s AW25 collection is a delicate ode to memory and rebirth. As someone who’s raced through Parisian traffic to catch a closing gate (KIMHEKIM SS25), I appreciate when a show demands you slow down and Dujancourt’s did just that.

Ray Chu AW25

The energy at Ray Chu’s AW25 showcase was a magnetic blend of audacity and vulnerability. Titled "CHAPTER V: KISS ME", the collection marked Chu’s London Fashion Week presentation with a statement; fashion is not just worn, it’s felt. The Soho venue, intimate yet charged, became a stage for silhouettes that defied gender norms, wrapped in a dreamy palette of dusky pinks and molten metallics.

Sinead Gorey AW25

Gorey’s signature subversion was everywhere. Her signature disheveled elegance of crushed velvet dresses with asymmetrical hems, as if thrown on in haste, but cut with precision. Metallics and sheer panels blurred the line between last night’s party and this morning’s aftermath.

Charlie Constantinou AW25

Charlie Constantinou’s AW25 showcase at London Fashion Week felt like stepping into a mirage, industrial grit melting into Saharan warmth. Held at 180 The Strand, the space was transformed with hand-dyed drapes and dappled lighting, echoing the collection’s fusion of technical precision and nomadic romance.
