Fashion enthusiasts are buzzing about the ongoing London Fashion Week, where designers showcase their latest collections, setting trends for the upcoming season.
Here are the best picks of London Fashion Week in 2025:
Burberry
It was an impressive transformation: for Burberry’s latest outing, which closed London Fashion Week yesterday evening, the interior of London’s Tate Britain was entirely swathed in floor-to-ceiling drapes of cloth, their bucolic scenes evocative of tapestries found in British country houses (and perhaps some of the landscapes in the institution’s own hallowed halls).
Erdem
Erdem Moralıoğlu’s latest collection, presented in the atrium of the British Museum, was centred around a collaboration with the Scottish figurative painted Kaye Donachie. Moralıoğlu and Donachie had attended London’s Royal Academy of Arts at the same time, but a more recent connection – Moralıoğlu commissioning the artist to paint his late mother’s portrait – provided the impetus for this new collaborative venture.
Simone Rocha
There was something stripped back about Simone Rocha’s A/W 2025 collection, which despite its typical flourishes of romance (a delicate beaded eyebrow, pearlescent tortoise-shaped clutch bags, rabbit-shaped stoles, and, as ever, smatterings of pearls and crystals) had a feeling of directness, encapsulated in the primitive slices of faux fur and slashed pleats that became motifs throughout.
Roksanda
The voice of late sculptor Phyllida Barlow provided the soundtrack for Roksanda Ilinčić’s A/W 2025 show, held for the second time on one of the circular upper floors of Space House, a Richard Seifert-designed brutalist office building in London’s Holborn (as such, the show’s backdrop was an impressive 360-degree-view of the London skyline).
S.S Daley
Steven Stokey-Daley’s A/W 2025 show came with something of a delay: originally slated to show in Paris during the city’s menswear week this past January, a last-minute switch saw him stick with his adopted home town, opening proceedings on Friday morning (Stokey-Daley is originally from Liverpool, but has lived and worked in London since graduating from Westminster University’s fashion course in 2020).
