How London Fashion Week Got Its Groove Back

Designers leaned into return shows, garden-ready looks, bright orange and ballet-inspired silhouettes as London Fashion Week pointed to spring/summer 2027.

  • London Fashion Week 2026 concluded this week, marked by the historic homecoming of Alexander McQueen after 25 years and Mulberry's return following a nine-year absence. The five-day event showcased British creativity through high-profile designer returns and emerging talent.
  • Designers shifted away from minimalist 'quiet luxury' toward expressive, playful aesthetics reflecting broader cultural shifts. Elektra Kotsoni, deputy director for Vogue Business and Vogue Runway, noted "the world is quite messy" and this dressing signals "resilience" and rebellion against polished uniformity.
  • Marks & Spencer staged its first-ever LFW runway celebrating 100 years in fashion, offering a 'see now, buy now' collection with pieces priced under £50 . Models spanned ages 21–60, reflecting multi-generational appeal alongside iconic figures like Dame Joan Collins.
  • Designer Edeline Lee transformed a school sports hall into a ballet stage for her collection, while Pauline Dujancourt championed the 'modern goddess' aesthetic with organic draping and billowing fabrics. Both collections emphasized romantic, flowing silhouettes and movement-focused design.
  • Burberry closed the event as orange emerged as the definitive color trend for spring 2027. Designers including Enny Atelier and Vin + Omi incorporated shades from tangerine to ginger, offering vibrant energy for upcoming wardrobes.
