A little while has passed since the conclusion of New York Fashion Week, and fashion enthusiasts have finally turned their attention to the next exciting chapter of fashion month. London Fashion Week Fall 2025 kicked off with a powerful message from actress Florence Pugh, who opened the Harris Reed Fall/Winter 2025 runway by urging, “Be reckless and be loud. Be determined. Be fearless.” This call to action set the stage for a week where designers boldly showcased their most daring and innovative creations.
Despite a slightly condensed schedule this season, with brands like Chopova Lowena and Knwls choosing to present annually, London Fashion Week Fall 2025 remained a dynamic platform for both established and emerging designers. The week showcased a compelling mix of traditional runway shows and alternative presentations, underscoring the resilience and adaptability of the fashion industry.
The Looks…
One of the standout collections came from Erdem Moralıoğlu, who unveiled his line in the atrium of the British Museum. In collaboration with Scottish figurative painter Kaye Donachie, Erdem’s designs beautifully blurred the boundaries between imagination and reality. The collection featured garments overlaid with delicate sheer organza, sculpted-waist gowns, and shimmering, spike-shaped paillettes—each piece drawing inspiration from Donachie’s ethereal artistry.
Meanwhile, Roksanda Ilinčić’s show served as a poignant tribute to the late sculptor Phyllida Barlow. Set against the backdrop of Space House, with its panoramic views of London, the collection explored themes of fragility and transformation. Notable pieces included gowns crafted from cut-out neoprene, oversized paillettes repurposed as partial face masks, and vibrant strands of raffia, all evoking Barlow’s dynamic sculptures.
Similarly, Steven Stokey-Daley’s S.S. Daley collection took a deep dive into British heritage, reimagining classic outerwear such as duffle coats and donkey jackets with modern twists. The designs featured elongated shirt collars, ruffled blouses, and unexpected feather details, blending tradition with innovation. Drawing inspiration from the Scottish Colourists, the collection’s rich palette and prints paid homage to artists like Francis Cadell, infusing the garments with vibrant colors and textures.
Meanwhile, Ashish Gupta made a triumphant return to the runway after a two-year hiatus, unveiling his ‘Crisis of Confidence’ collection at 180 Strand. Renowned for his bold, sequined creations, Ashish explored themes of uncertainty and resilience. His signature sparkle was present throughout, paired with introspective motifs that reflected the current global climate.
In sum, London Fashion Week Fall 2025 showcased the fashion industry’s enduring creativity and adaptability. From Erdem’s art-inspired pieces to Ashish’s reflective designs, the collections wove a rich tapestry of fashion’s future, further cementing London’s status as a global fashion capital.
