London Fashion Week A/W 2025
20th - 24th FEBRUARY 2025
London Fashion Week A/W 2025 arrived in the city with a five-day schedule of presentations and runway shows.
Synonymous with theatricality and boundary-pushing designs the UK has always held a top spot in the world in terms of fashion, but increased operational costs, businesses suffering the after effects of COVID, other disruptions in the wake of (dare i say it) Brexit and the retail landscape in the UK changing as a whole, (look to the likes of Frasers Group for the demise of many independents) all mean its an uncertain market.
In true Brit style at the London Fashion Show the vibe was still the show must go on......

“These are challenging times, but this community is resilient — and as someone who has been there for a little while, I can tell you from experience that creativity is heightened even further when businesses face adversity.”
British Fashion Council’s CEO Caroline Rush

London Fashion Week brimmed with unabridged talent and creativity — from cult names, like Paolo Carzana and Dilara Findikoglu, to the fledgling labels (Louther, Nuba and Olly Shinder) showing as part of talent incubator Fashion East. All of which, in the absence of bigger, heavy-hitting brands, had more space to shine.
Carzana, who drew about 120 people to his show in a cozy pub in Clerkenwell,
Showgoers held out for a late show by Findikoglu, The venue Electrowerkz — a sprawling warehouse known for its alternative club nights.
Simone Rocha turned to the childhood fable, “The Tortoise and the Hare,” Alexa Chung and actresses Fiona Shaw and Bel Powley, made a surprise appearance on the runway, some carrying rabbit or turtle-shaped accessories.
S.S. Daley, which presented reinvented wardrobe staples such as trench coats, rain jackets, duffle coats, bomber jackets and pea coats to a score of ‘80s post-punk British hits from The Smiths, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and the Pet Shop Boys.
Daniel Fletcher’s debut as creative director of Chinese fashion label Mithridate was a similar masterclass in British heritage. Pastel-hued sweaters were tied and swung over the shoulder, while pinstriped Oxford shirts were styled with leather brogues.
Saul Nash collaborated on a collection with athletic-wear maker Lululemon,
Ahluwalia teamed up with jewelry company Pandora
Stefan Cooke and Grace Wales Bonner prioritized in-person previews,
Aaron Esh, 16 Arlington’s Marco Capaldo and Feben Vemmenby of Feben hosted private dinners
Labrum, Karoline Vitto and Tolu Coker opted for presentations, where people could drop in and see the designs throughout the day.
Tolu Coker on why they decided not to show this season
“As a young brand, I think that a runway show every season is not always the most effective way of maximizing resources, which often are very limited.”
Whilst some brands chose to sit out this event some, like John Richmond took the bull by its horns, tore up the rule book and created an event that connected with the audience in a way that was a break from the norm and in true rock and roll style wound up with an after party!

Mithridate
British heritage meets Chinese craftsmanship in Daniel Fletcher’s debut collection for MITHRIDATE.
Saccharine pastels clash with rich leathers and wools, while full skirts balance strong-shouldered tailoring. Classic British wardrobe staples are reimagined, layering nostalgia with modernity. Eccentric textures, and playful contrasts redefine tradition, embracing a multifaceted reality.
A new era for MITHRIDATE begins—where romance, rebellion, and refined craftsmanship collide.

Burberry
Presented in London at Tate Britain – a fitting backdrop for a celebration of British creativity – Daniel Lee’s latest collection is inspired by weekends in the country, long rainy walks in the great outdoors and the interiors of grand stately homes. Rendering coats and scarves, evening wear, daywear and suits in a mix of twisted fabrics by British makers, the collection is grounded in Burberry’s values of design, innovation and skill.
With high profile models such as Naomi Campbell, Edie Campbell and Erin O’ Connor, but also surprise appearances from actors Richard E. Grant, Lesley Manville and Elizabeth McGovern, as well as Lila Moss the latest Burberry collection was rooted in sumptuous materials, neutral colors and discreet details.
Looks in khaki, brown and maroon, oatmeal and more opulent pieces, including leather trench coats, brocade suits and shearling-lined jackets.
This is Daniel Lee's 5th year at Burberry and joined by CEO Joshua Schulman in July last year they have had a promising start to the year greater focus on its key emblems, such as outerwear and its signature check, and a wider pricing structure.
Design inspiration taken from the likes of period drama Saltburn and British high society it portrays. Adorned in earthy tones with the addition of the occasional flamboyant pieces it is an exemplary display of the Burberry brand and its Heritage
