This season, London’s dynamic attitude, originality, and culture were all celebrated on the runway, which served as more than just a venue for fashion.

We relive the iconic moments, cutting-edge styles, and up-and-coming designers that shaped this week’s fashion history.

BURBERRY

Burberry drew inspiration for its Spring/Summer 2025 collection at London Fashion Week from both its British roots and its spirit of adventure. The designer used vivid hues and daring, contemporary twists to reimagine the traditional trench coat silhouette.

One of the main motifs was the combination of rural and urban elements, which reflected an outdoor and adventurous spirit.

The collection showcased both practicality and style with its creative use of materials and layering techniques. Intricate detailing and tailoring that emphasized the brand’s iconic status while appealing to a new generation were other tributes to British workmanship.

CHET LO

Mai’s Blossoms, Chet Lo’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection, was an incredibly intimate remembrance of his mother, Mai-Wah Cheung. Her journey from a leading person in New York’s computer world to a schoolteacher and artist was chronicled in the collection, which showcased her power and versatility.

Reimagining parts of his mother’s business attire, Lo combined formal office attire with softer, more delicate materials. A whimsical touch was created by the use of vivid colors like royal blue and minute elements like glass beading that were inspired by Cheung’s fruit drawings.

In addition, the collection signaled a departure from Lo’s often edgy, club-kid influence in favor of a more sophisticated and mature aesthetic.​

ERDEM

Erdem drew inspiration for his Spring/Summer 2025 collection at London Fashion Week from the interplay of history and contemporary as well as the notion of nostalgia.

The collection, which combined romantic silhouettes and elaborate flower designs with Victorian influences, combined old-world beauty with modern artistry.

The theme of recollection was also addressed by the designer, who used layers of clothing, rich fabrics, and delicate lace to create an atmosphere of narrative.

The color scheme emphasized the beauty and complexity of femininity while combining bright hues with soft pastels to create a magical atmosphere.

FEBEN

Feben took inspiration for their Spring/Summer 2025 collection, Reign, from various sources, such as the tenacity of Spanish flamenco dancer Antonia Singla and the capriciousness of British weather.

The collection featured dynamic, flowing designs that echoed the beat of flamenco, like elaborately fringed items that resembled flounced hems on cotton dresses with a single strap.

Feben showcased exquisite beadwork from Ghanaian artisans and experimented with achieving rich textures through the use of velvet. Among the notable inventions were vest dresses and split-seamed skirts with reversible sequins, which allowed for versatile, transforming styles.​

HARRIS REED

At London Fashion Week, Harris Reed’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection included his trademark combination of dramatic silhouettes and gender ambiguity.

Reed combined Victorian and Old Hollywood elements by employing opulent materials like satin and velvet and exaggerated silhouettes like flared pants and puffed shoulders. By fusing fitted suits with lace and corsets, Reed’s designs blurred the boundaries between masculine and feminine fashion.

Repurposed materials emphasized sustainability, while his maximalist style pushed boundaries with metallics, feathers, and sequins. All things considered, the collection presented a creative investigation of gender, history, and daring fashion.

JW ANDERSON

JW Anderson drew inspiration for their Spring/Summer 2025 collection from the avant-garde, colorful clothing worn at the Primavera Sound music festival.

Playful and exaggerated styles such as inflating T-shirts, leather tutus, voluminous short dresses, and unstructured knitwear were highlighted in the collection.

In addition, Anderson developed functional pieces like bomber jackets with curved hems and biker jackets, and she collaborated with Guinness to create whimsical pieces like pearl embroidery.​

KENT & CURWEN

Kent & Curwen’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection signaled a dramatic rebirth for the brand under creative director Daniel Kearns. The brand’s British collegiate past inspired the collection, combining contemporary, genderless designs with traditional features like rugby shirts, pleated skirts, and trench coats.

Very reminiscent of Ralph Lauren’s preppy aesthetic and Burberry’s exquisite tailoring, Kent & Curwen perfectly combines those features to provide versatility, with items designed to be “shared and borrowed” by both sexes. Reimagining sports and school uniforms with hints of nostalgia for the English countryside was a major topic.

The use of country furniture fabrics and the famous rose insignia of Kent & Curwen gave the collection a historical yet modern feel. The preppy, quirky British look was furthered by accessories like backless slippers, leather loafers, and school sacks.

KNWLS

The Spring/Summer 2025 collection by KNWLS at London Fashion Week expertly portrayed themes of metamorphosis and contradiction. The designers incorporated delicate, flowing motifs with aggressive forms by juxtaposing power and weakness.

A modern, urban look was accentuated by the use of graphic patterns and vivid colors, while light and shadow were enhanced by the interaction of textures and materials.

A major emphasis on sustainability was seen in the creative use of fabrics and building methods. It was a powerful examination of the harmonic fusion of seemingly incompatible materials.

NENSI DOJAKA

Keeping loyal to her beginnings while extending the concept of femininity, Nensi Dojaka’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection at London Fashion Week showcased her signature mix of sensuality and structure. She debuted a noteworthy partnership with Calvin Klein this season, fusing Klein’s minimalism with her delicate, detailed design.

The emphasis of the collection was on contrasts: slip dresses had sculptural hardware drawn from Calvin Klein’s past, while translucent bodysuits with harness accents accentuated the body’s natural shape. She ensured that the designs empowered the wearer by fusing femininity with strength by utilizing recyclable materials and modern innovation.

In general, this collection explored contemporary femininity with an emphasis on assertiveness and vulnerability.​

NOON BY NOOR

At London’s esteemed Somerset House, the founders and designers of Noon By Noor, Shaikha Noor Rashid Al Khalifa, and Shaikha Haya Mohamed Al Khalifa, presented their Spring/Summer 2025 collection, named Ray of Light, in a salon-style setting.

The collection is inspired by how light and shadow interact, an idea that dates back to the groundbreaking work of modern artists Katerina Jebb and photographer Man Ray. The designers investigated how light may alter clothing and expose hidden layers.

The designers write in their notes about their revelation in their Bahraini workshop, where they created a black tulle dress with exquisite details and draped it from the window frames so that sunlight revealed its layers in a translucent way.

Transparent fabrics, complex textures, and delicate contrasts are used throughout the collection to create a dynamic visual experience that honors the essence of depth and illumination.

QASIMI

Qasimi’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection at London Fashion Week drew from Middle Eastern culture, architecture, and socio-political themes.

The collection featured a blend of utilitarian details and minimalist aesthetics, with earthy tones and military-inspired elements like oversized fits and pockets. Sharp tailoring was paired with fluid fabrics, reflecting a balance between structure and ease.

Cultural narratives around migration and identity were woven into the designs, while sustainability played a role through the use of eco-friendly materials. Overall, the collection fused global influences with a clean, contemporary design.

ROKSANDA

The interaction of architecture and nature served as the inspiration for Roksanda’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection at London Fashion Week.

The designer used vivid colors and geometric patterns that evoke metropolitan environments as she investigated the contrast between fluid textiles and structured forms.

In addition to embracing sustainability, the collection demonstrated a dedication to eco-conscious fashion by utilizing cutting-edge materials and processes.

Overall, it showcased a tasteful fusion of form and function, celebrating femininity while pushing the bounds of conventional design.

S.S DALEY

The S.S. Daley Spring/Summer 2025 collection, which was on display at London Fashion Week, combined contemporary tailoring, whimsical embellishments like flower appliqués and amusing designs, with historical British flamboyance.

It was Daley’s first womenswear collection, with an emphasis on sustainability and feedback from the female members of his team.

STANDING GROUND

The London Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2025 collection by Standing Ground drew inspiration from both the earthy and cosmic realms.

The designs were regarded as having a statuesque, ethereal aspect combined with futuristic and antique features. Standing Ground’s creative director, Michael Stewart, approached clothing as a sculpture, drawing parallels with Madame Grès’s designs.

The collection deviated from London’s traditional punk intensity with its dramatic yet minimalistic emphasis on structure, fluidity, and airy grace.

YUHAN WANG

The inspiration for Yuhan Wang’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection during London Fashion Week came from female boxers, including notable figures like Laila Ali and Jane Couch. This collection, called The Rose Fist, expertly combined Wang’s characteristic romantic and lace-heavy style with aspects of traditionally macho sportswear.

Playful, contrasting styles like leather boxing shorts with lace and tiered skirts modeled after the Fighting Cholitas, a Bolivian female wrestling group, further emphasized the idea of striking a balance between strength and grace.

Wang’s style combined elegance and functionality, emphasizing romantic, ultrafeminine qualities while incorporating athletic elements into her designs.​

16ARLINGTON
