LFW: Hightlights AW25 We Will Love to Wear

London Fashion Week is always an exciting celebration of creativity, showcasing the perfect blend of craftsmanship, colour, and silhouette. For A/W 25, the young and new names shone with fresh dynamic approaches, many of who asked questions of the fashion ideas and industry. Every season, the event offers a dynamic mix of bold designs, innovative concepts, and timeless elegance. This season, it was the new talent that stole the show. Whether modern and minimalist or opulent and dramatic, the collections brought together the best of British fashion thinking, questioning and innovation.

Richard Quinn

The new season brings a story of celebration and the transformative power of fashion, drawing inspiration from life’s milestones, special occasions, and the beauty and strength of women. With exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail – which Quinn prides himself on each garment in the collection is designed to elevate the wearer and evoke a sense of joy, pride, and empowerment.

The AW25 collection is a love letter to London, a city that has shaped Quinn’s identity and inspired his work. Set in the stillness of a cinematic and authentic snowy London Street, we see midnight strike as the runway captures the ‘closer’ moments that these characters are now having by themselves as they leave for the night.

Noon by Noor

This season, the designers reflect on the interplay between structure and fluidity, heritage and modernity, drawing inspiration from Bahrain’s architectural landscape—specifically, the striking work of Swiss architect Christian Kerez, whose multi-storey car parks in the historic city of Muharraq in Bahrain seamlessly transform into communal spaces for art, culture and movement.

“We are fortunate to have been nurtured in art and architecture, both in our home and in our surroundings in Bahrain–a place rich in both, from which we can draw constant inspiration” said Shaikha Noor Al Khalifa.

Emilia Wickstead

Emilia Wickstead’s AW25 collection draws inspiration from The Birds (1963) — not through the lens of its director, but through the women whose creative brilliance shaped its haunting yet romantic legacy: visionary costume designer Edith Head, magnetic actress Tippi Hedren, and literary icon Daphne du Maurier. Guided by the idea of costumes that transcend aesthetics to embody poise, resilience, and vulnerability, our collection reflects Edith Head’s mastery of character-driven design whilecelebrating the stories and lasting influence of these remarkable women.

“You can have anything you want in life if you dress for it.” — Edith Head

Erdem

For Autumn Winter 25, Erdem has collaborated with the artist Kaye Donachie. The pair were contemporaries at the RCA, but the idea for collaboration was born years later when Erdem commissioned Kaye to paint his late mother’s portrait. He was struck by Kaye’s method of painting with poetic license to record a character from the past.

Ashish

Maximilian Raynor

Welcome to the Un-united Kingdom. The year is 3025. Ignited and fuelled by self-serving billionaires, earth has fallen victim to relentless technological progression and a global regression in morality, The climate de-prioritised and ignored. The natural world a wire-ridden wasteland. Lawless gangs rule but forbidden pagan cultures rise. Travelling missionary nurses spread the word of the retro and whispers of what once was.

‘An overwhelming global presence of hate and conflict is an unsettling context within which to create fashion but my resounding ongoing ethos is that design is an indispensable art form that allows us to escape and/ or reflect our times and culture. I hope my storytelling, though wild, theatrical and imagination, has the power to incite genuine reflection from my audience‘

Ray Chu

The AW25 collection draws inspiration from Blue Cypress trees, symbolising resilience, strength, and unwavering determination. These attributes also tie into the meaning of the designer’s Chinese name, ‘Po – also meaning ‘cypress’, transforming this collection into a statement about personal heritage.

Malone Souliers

The AW25 collection itself embodies the duality of feminine mystique and power, drawing from the structured elegance and flirtatious decadence of cult film wardrobes. Silhouettes are sharp yet sensual, highlighted by refined craftsmanship and bold detailing. The colour palette of rosewood, tobacco and midnight is lifted by glistening metallics. Bold patterns lend a nostalgic edge, and rich textures add depth and opulence, accented by intricate broguing, crystal roses, and delicate pearls that serve as the collection’s decorative signatures.

Yaku

The ImPossible Family Reunion in RPG Space is a narrative of hope and belonging — a product of Afrofuturism. Each look embodies a limitless version of my family members, shaped by the fantasy worlds I grew up with. Their story unfolds season by season. In our last chapter, they navigated the delicate balance between painful pasts and a hopeful vision for the future, honing their skills and gathering resources in preparation to confront the physical embodiments of their past. With AW25, we enter the next chapter.

Ahluwalia

At the heart of the collection lies an appreciation for curation and care—the way objects are wrapped, framed, and stored to maintain their legacy. Ahluwalia contemplates these rituals through the lens of textiles and silhouettes, incorporating tactile details that evoke the sentiment and significance of historical custodianship. From cave paintings and murals to intimate family photographs, the collection’s references traverse time and geography, merging the old with the new. Echoing the timeless aesthetic captured by paradigmatic photographers such as Malick Sidibé, James Barnor, and Lakin Ogunbanwo, the visual narrative offers a renewed perspective on the collection’s fusion of storied heritage and contemporary expression.

Sinéad O’Dwyer

For Autumn/Winter 2025, Sinéad O’Dwyer takes a welcome opportunity for reflection. Chiming with thebrand’s final show as a recipient of the BFC’s NEWGEN scheme, and its achievement of a place in the semi-final of the 2025 LVMH Prize, the collection takes stock of the narrative depth of the world O’Dwyerbuilt; of the wealth of characters that have populated it over four years. Unruly teenagers, sneaking across boggy fields under the cover of night; studious yet forlorn cello players at musical summercamps; maids and nannies, bored in their bosses’ homes; secretaries, school matrons, submissives;gymnasts, dungeon masters, dancers…This is not, however, a nostalgic ‘top hits’ replay. Rather than appear in the first degree, these myriadfigures leave whispers of traces on a proposal that reads as an assured advancement of the brand’s vocabulary.

Kent & Curwen

For AW25, KENT&CURWEN explores the idea of crossing thresholds — the space between the familiarand the unknown. Inspired by C.S. Lewis’ childhood adventures in Northern Ireland, where dressing upand storytelling were gateways to imagined worlds, the collection captures the tension between adolescence and self-actualization. Much like stepping through the wardrobe into Narnia or crossing into the mythical Tír na nÓg, it’s about dressing for life’s transitions — outfitting ourselves for uncharted paths ahead.

Kazna Asker

The collection’s narrative begins with an intimate family history: her father’stransformative journey from the mountainous terrain of Yafa, South Yemen, to theindustrial landscape of Sheeld, South Yorkshire three decades ago. This migration,initiated by his parents in the previous generation, continues to ripple through time,shaping the experiences of those who follow.

Each piece in the collection serves as a bridge between landscapes, generations, andtraditions, weaving together the visual vocabulary of Yafa’s mountains and Sheeld’surban terrain. This dialogue continues throughout the collection as traditional MENA region garments are reimagined with contemporary sensibilities.

Hector MacLean

Every Hector Maclean collection is based on an iconic British woman and for this season, Susan Bellasyse, a woman who was described at the time as a “lady of life and vivacity”, becomes a vehicle for the designer to highlight the “life and vivacity” on this “beautiful island we call home”, Hector says. Here, union jacks – upcycled from found flags and bedsheets – are bleached, shredded and draped in the classic Hector style or painted in timely neon pink and green hues across garments that splice punk aesthetics with regal silhouettes. Black lace gowns pay nod to the famed style of Queen Victoria while elsewhere the revenge dress and pearl necklace of the ultimate royal rebel are paid homage.

Chet Lo

Chet Lo presents the Fall/Winter 2025 collection, Modern Antiquity, a bold reinterpretation of chinoiserie through an Asian perspective. This season, Lo confronts the colonialist history of Western interpretations of Asian art, reclaiming and transforming these motifs into something distinctly and authentically Asian.

Toga

This time for Autumn Winter 2025 I’ve revisited this idea with a ring micro skirt. Despite its shortness, it’s not easy to peep inside. What’s on the other side of the ring, only the wearer can know.This Autumn Winter 2025 Collection takes formalwear and represents it as informal. As anti-form.

Simone Rocha

Huishan Zhang

Burberry

Conner Ives

Everybody laugh. Lounging in their caftans  and planning a brunch. On their own behalf. And looking grim ‘Cause they’ve been sitting Choosing a hat Does anyone still wear a hat? I’ll drink to that

A Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader and the stamina to supplement the ultimate American dream. Scarlet red carnation boutonnières and evening dress codes. Black tie to feel something, black tie as the ultimate escape, the pinnacle of feeling good. 

Edeline Lee

Samurai-inspired cutaway robes over pyjama palazzos. Two boxers spar on the table, ducking and weaving, the flexible layers of ruching on a bandeau top bring to mind a boxer’s shorts.

In a spectacular finale, silver chainmail jersey draped and knotted over bodies, the gunmetal sheen of their sequined gowns revealing flashes of leg. Skirts were draped over steel hoops that swung.

The designer commented: “I was thinking about all the powerful women in my life, and it struck me how actively we support each other, whether that’s professionally or in our personal lives. We challenge each other, but we have each other’s backs. My clothes equip women with confidence – I want them to feel they can do or face anything.”

John Richmond

The new collection is an unapologetic celebration of British street style, music, and modern glamour, all infused with Richmond’s signature creative twist. From striking silhouettes to daring fabric choices, each piece embodies the rebellious spirit of both the designer and the city that birthed his creative journey. The project promises to showcase the essence of Richmond’s new vision in a way that is both visually captivating and culturally resonating, with the collection and shot by legendary photographer Jamie Morgan.

Pauline Dujanco

A rhythmic sequence of gestures—each one a stitch in time, weaving past and present together. With her first catwalk show for Autumn/Winter 2025, Pauline Dujancourt explores the idea of reconnection: with her grandmother, and, in turn, with herself.

In the 1980s, Dujancourt’s father gifted her grandmother a Vriesea plant, a rare beauty that bloomed only occasionally, revealing vivid red flowers before fading again. After her grandmother’s passing, her uncle preserved and propagated the plant, ensuring that each sibling would receive an offshoot—a living thread tying the family together.

Poet Lab

Unveiled during London Fashion Week, PoetLab’s latest collection, “Gentle(wo)man,” is a bold reimagination of the masculine wardrobe through a poetic, deconstructed, and avant-garde lens. Inspired by Dadaism’s ready-made movement and the cultural shift toward gender fluidity, the collection subverts traditional office wear, transforming rigid tailoring into fluid, sculptural silhouettes that defy expectation.

Sinead Gorey

For AW25, Sinead Gorey looks to the day after the night before, building a collection that is not so much assembled as it is thrown together. Despite an ostensible maturity, Gorey’s girl maintains her nightlife proclivities balancing them with newfound adult responsibilities. Still, old habits die hard.

Denzil Patrick

A collection of self-taped pilot helmets redrawn as the graphics on quilted, pleated skirts, dresses, trousers and delicate tops. Picking through vintage stores to find silk scarves, now stitched onto calico, the universal blank page among the fashion world. The negative space cut from the scarves’ print on whip-tight trousers.

Completedworks

Uniting the incongruous, AW25 extends beyond familiar parameters. Tones shift, and clean lines are garnished with motifs from the archive- the surreal upsets the abstract and the geometric is layered onto the organic. Across earrings, necklaces and rings, earlier forms and foundational pieces take up the challenge of the season: to embellish, to gild, to festoon and to emblazon.

S.S.Daley

For AW25 S.S.Daley presents a collection inspired by the enveloping world of the Scottish Colourists – an artistic group known for the boldness of their colour palette and atmospheric artistic landscapes. The starting point for Daley was Iona Croft painted in the mid-1920s by Francis Cadell, one of the more prominent members of the group. For Daley, the textual vocabulary of the group’s work brought new considerations towards craft, textiles and forms.

Bora Aksu

For Autumn/Winter 2025-26, Bora Aksu delves into the captivating duality of beauty and sorrow, drawing inspiration from the enigmatic Empress Elisabeth of Austria. A woman of unparalleled grace and tragic complexity, Elisabeth’s life continues to inspire, her legacy woven into the fabric of time. This season, Aksu reimagines her world through a contemporary lens, intertwining regal elegance with raw emotion, delicacy with defiance.

Di Petsa

The Reflections of Desire at London Fashion Week, was a sensual exploration of divine sexuality and the subversion of female desire archetypes. This season, reimagining menswear from the female gaze, crafting characters that embody poets, muses, fantasies, and goddesses, each a manifestation of the creative force of Eros.  

Lace underwear becomes jewellery, draped and wrapped around the body, transcending function into adornment. White lace thongs encircle the neck, mixing with strands of pearls, a poetic interplay of love and indulgence.

Roksanda

The Autumn Winter 2025 collection draws upon the bold and visionary work of renowned British artist Phyllida Barlow, whose pioneering approach to materiality, form and sculpture deeply resonates with many of the brand’s own brand language. By repurposing discarded items, Phyllida explored fragility, impermanence, and physicality, creating work that feels in constant motion and transformation and reconsidering the value of the overlooked.

Charlie Constantinou 

This season, Constantinou’s narrative begins in familiar terrain, with a nod to the Saharan landscapes that defined his previous collection. For Season 4.5 he explores this environment through the contrasting lens of night—an ever-changing world where temperature fluctuations shape both the landscape and the clothes that inhabit it. The colour palette of Season 4.5 reflects the extremes of day and night, as warm tones slowly give way to cooler hues, mimicking the drastic temperature shifts after sunset.

Jawara Alleyne

For the show Construction, the designer turns his gaze toward the fundamental principles of making, how things come together, how they are dismantled, and how, in their reconstruction, new narratives emerge. Exposing seams, revealing the rawness beneath polished surfaces, and questioning the assumed finality and silhouette of a finished garment.

Referencing Blueprint by Norman Behrendt and drawing parallels to larger socio-political landscapes, such as the reconstruction of identity in the wake of Brexit, the collection expands its inquiry beyond fashion, posing a broader question: What are we building?

Keburia

This collection reconfigures the past. The result is a collection that sits at the intersection of history and futurism, an interrogation of elegance that is as cerebral as it is visually intoxicating, where precision meets provocation. Victorian grandeur is reborn for the modern age. 

Luxurious textures dominate: heavy wool and bouclé lend gravity, while metallic Chantilly lace and plissé-chiffon inject a ghostly lightness. Beads, crystals, and sequins catch the light, refracting opulence into something more modern. 

Abigail Ajobi

The “I’M NOT ENGLISH, I’M BRITISH’ collection speaks to the feeling of unbelonging, caught between the culture of the country you were born in and the one your parents came from. “I’m not English, I’m British,” says Ajobi, highlighting the complex identity of growing up in the UK while being disconnected from one’s heritage.

Through her signature use of print and fabric manipulation, Ajobi fuses classic British textiles, such as tartan and dogtooth, with digital prints to represent the intertwining of two cultures. The distorted, wavy patterns symbolise the movement and fluidity of identity, reflecting the designer’s own experience of cultural fusion.

Paolo Carzana

The designer began the collection, finishing the trilogy that he had started a year ago, Trilogy of Hope. An emotional ascent upwards to the heavens, exploring earth as the element, greens. Dragons Unwinged at the Butcher’s Block is now where we take flight into the middle, into purgatory.

Fire is the element, oranges, pinks, purples and yellows. A change in colour, in textile, in silhouette. Shifting the colour palette to one created entirely by hand, usually working in a way of creating the garments and dunk dyeing them to achieve colour. This time around, working again with Toulouse Lautrec as a reference point on both silhouette and feeling, but most importantly on the delicacy of line and colour.

SRVC

Clothing is armour, it is a tool, and it is a conversation. Menswear tropes are once again dismantled and reconstructed into something entirely new. A women’s shirt pieced together from deconstructed men’s boxer shorts, becomes a form of tailored armour. Stirrup waffle pants layer under robotic cargo legs that extend up into the waist, a nod to sci-fiMecha protection over a sleek feminine silhouette. Tailoring plays between masculine dominance and slashes of skin, stretching waistbands down the body as sculptural elements that shape and define. 

YUHAN AO (images Ben @benbradishellames)

The inspiration emerged from the designer’s visit to Place du Tertre in Montmartre. While searching for a gift for his family, he found himself immersed in conversations with local artists, gaining insight into their untold stories.

Moved by these encounters, yuhan sought to translate their essence into a collection that honours creatives whose contributions often remain in the shadows. The show features individuals from diverse creative fields, including dancers, architects, fashion PR professionals, and fashion editors, each portrayed with a nostalgic twist. Set against the backdrop of after-hours Paris, the collection envisions them as alter egos of their past selves, capturing raw and unfiltered human emotions through deconstructed tailoring and meticulous craftsmanship. 

Sól Hansdóttir

For Icelandic womenswear designer Sól Hansdóttir, AW25 was born from looking ahead, anticipating how the documentation of the garments she creates today will affect the way her designs are received in the future. The designer took inspiration from the intricacy of the archival processes, observing the power it has to transcend physicality and open up corners of past worlds to a new kind of exploration. Hansdóttir developed delicate techniques based on the idea of display and documentation, such as wool trapped between layers of organza and handstitched organza over jersey, mimicking the preservation process and knitted pieces with holes like punch cards containing information.

Khanh Brice Nguyen

Ghost Dancer, the London Fashion Week debut AW25 collection by Khanh Brice Nguyen, explores the tension between visibility and invisibility– the instinct to hide and the longing to be recognized. Shaped by French and Vietnamese cultures, Khanh Brice Nguyen has explored identity through queerness, artistry, and self-expression. This journey of self-discovery has profoundly shaped their design philosophy, where clothing becomes a medium for storytelling. Khanh’s work merges fashion with the worlds of comics and dance, creating garments that feel like characters. With years of experience crafting intricate knitwear, their approach to design is both deeply technical and emotionally driven.

INF

This season, INF draws inspiration from indigenous motifs, transforming the classic houndstooth pattern by incorporating theraven’s flight posture and wing shape into geometric structures, creating a unique print pattern exclusive to INF. This patternis interpreted in three colors: Olive Green, symbolizing the raven’s secrecy and depth; Blaze Red, paying tribute to thecreative light it brings in legend; and Quiet Grey, representing the tranquil atmosphere where time and memory converge.The wing-shaped cuts, feather-like details, beak-inspired accessories, and digital prints that depict the dynamic movement offlight allow the raven’s imagery to unfold on the body.

Making his Milan Fashion Week debut, Nash continues to venture beyond the sportswear from which he made his name. His movement-based design language is transformed, building an expansive wardrobelaced with ethereal feeling.

“Movement is an embodied thing. You live it, you are it, rather than needing to put certain clothes on to do it. One of the main qualities of movement is a sense of freedom. I want to create garments that allow people to liberate themselves. This season we’re exploring what this will look like through a new lens,” says Saul Nash.

Leo Prothmann

Finca is an exploration of identity, heritage, and craftsmanship, born from my own reflections and experiences. Finca refers to the traditional Spanish country house I grew up in, surrounded by horses, sheep, and donkeys. It’s a place that shaped my understanding of nature, resilience, and discipline—and this collection draws directly from that foundation.

Heavy wool horse blankets, with wide yellow, blue, red, and black stripes, were transformed into sculptural garments. The silhouettes are once more inspired by Hede Bühl’s sculptures and shells, with seam lines deliberately shifted from horizontal to vertical. This approach creates unexpected structure and movement, allowing the garments to mold to the body in organic, fluid ways.

Naomi Hart

At the core of the collection are magnetic stripes and marbled fabrics, referencing the fluid lattice of a sliced geode. A geode conceals its resplendent mineral-rich interior while outwardly appearing like an ordinary stone. Naomi exposes the crystal’s stunning inner linings by stitching together panels of consecutive colours and veined merlot leather. These pieces reflect the brand’s core values: individuality, empowerment, and allowing the wearer’s attitude to be seen, felt, and celebrated. These traits are emblematic of the designer herself, weaving a tapestry of Naomi’s personality and childhood. The statement biker ensembles speak to her love for jetting around Derby’s countryside on a motorbike.

Tifaret

This season and as part of the international platform Fashion Scout, Tifaret draws inspiration from Michelangelo Antonioni’s masterpiece Red Desert, channelling its cinematic tension into a collection where icy restraint and molten romance collide. Translating the film’s theme of isolation, the colour palette features shades of ash, slate, and dove-grey, disrupted by rich jewel tones – a symbolic contrast between restraint and expression.

The designs featured hand-embroidered dresses, alpaca suits, printed silks, and knitted sweaters with motifs designed byRivas himself. Revisiting the film The Witch (2015), Rivas embarked on a research journey intohistory, mysticism, and symbolism. This study led him to explore 16th and 17th-centurypaintings incorporating iconic elements such as cats, goats, and hares-symbols often linked tothe esoteric and the occult. It is clear that Rivas challenges conventional expectations: insteadof following traditional aesthetics, he reinterprets Peruvian materials with a cutting-edgevision and a distinct identity.
