[title]It seems like only yesterday that we were all admiring Sinead Gorey’s iPod Shuffle hairclips, and itching to get our hands on one of Molly Goddard’s western-inspired bubble dresses. But faster than you can say ‘This is an Alaïa!’, Fashion Week has come back around, picking up the 40th anniversary celebrations it kicked off in February.
That means it’s time to shake off your most stylish outfit and march yourself down to 180 The Strand, where you’ll fit right in with the crowds of fashionistas gathering in the capital to see the latest looks for Spring/Summer 2025 (SS25). Don’t know where to begin? Here’s all the information you need.
When is London Fashion Week 2024?
LFW takes place twice a year: in February and September. The next fashion week will be from Thursday September 12 to Tuesday September 17.
Where is London Fashion Week held?
London Fashion Week usually takes place at the British Fashion Council’s own show space at 180 The Strand. The closest tubes are Holborn and Temple. There will also be serveral events taking place at external locations across the city.
How do I get tickets to London Fashion Week 2024?
Unfortunately, most of the LFW shows are invite-only, so you can’t buy tickets.
What designers should I be watching out for?
Obviously, you’ve got the big names like Burberry, JW Anderson and Manolo Blahnik showing at LFW SS25. But there are also a load of newer London designers showcasing their work – and we’d argue they’re just as exciting. There’s Dilara Findikoglu’s dark, vampiric corsets (worn by everyone from Doja Cat to Madonna), Chopova Lowena’s signature carabiner skirts, and Ancuta Sarca’s genius reworked Nike trainer kitten heels. Plus, look out for Tolu Coker’s bold, identity-politics inspired designs and Sinead Gorey’s fun, fit-to-party womenswear. Make sure you don’t miss Fashion East, which every year showcases a fresh batch of upcoming avant garde designers.
LFW events you can actually attend
Because fashion week is an industry event, most of the shows are invite-only. But LFW is running a competition on TikTok to give people the chance to attend the LFW Icons Party. See how you enter online here.
