London Fashion Week Preliminary Schedule Unveiled

The British Fashion Council has unveiled the preliminary schedule for London Fashion Week and will continue to support designers by waiving participation fees for those on the main schedule. This season's fashion week will bring together a host of well-known and emerging brands, including British labels such as Burberry, Emilia Wickstead, Erdem, Richard Quinn, and Simone Rocha. Temperley London will return to the runway for the first time since September 2019; Julien Macdonald will also make a comeback after his last show in February 2023. Other returning designers include Chet Lo, John Richmond, Joseph, Masha Popova, and Phoebe English.

This season’s London Fashion Week will also welcome a number of emerging designers, including sculptural womenswear brand Agro Studio, accessories designer Clara Chu, emerging design brand Ewenki, contemporary African menswear label Gravalot, womenswear brand Liberowe, and craft-driven Indian brand Raw Mango.

It is worth noting that Laura Weir, who was appointed as the CEO of the British Fashion Council earlier this year, is taking steps to remove barriers—relaxing fashion week access criteria, waiving fees, and ensuring a comprehensive showcase of British fashion creativity.
