5 Collections We’re Eyeing from London Fashion Week

London Fashion Week has officially wrapped, leaving behind a trail of dark romanticism, "plum" palettes, and a definitive shift toward elevated nightlife. From the "Grit and Glitter" of established heritage houses to the architectural storytelling of international debuts, the Fall/Winter 2026 season proved that London remains the global epicentre for balancing subversive edge with high-craft tradition.

Erdem

Marking the 20th anniversary of his label, Erdem Moralioglu delivered "The Imaginary Conversation," a "stylistic séance" that blended his own design history with muses of the past. The collection featured a masterful tension between the old and the new, where archival brocades and 1930s-inspired silhouettes were disrupted by raw-edged patches and denim.

Simone Rocha

Staged at Alexandra Palace, Rocha’s "Agony and Ecstasy" collection drew from the Irish myth of Tír na nÓg and the gritty energy of 1990s Dublin "pony kids." The result was a collision of ethereal romance and subversive athleticism, highlighted by a standout collaboration with Adidas that saw pearl-encrusted track jackets paired with the signature Rocha voluminous tulle.

Burberry

Daniel Lee closed the week with a collection that traded rural nostalgia for the "grit and glitter" of London’s night scene. Reimagining British heritage through a youthful lens, the runway featured ruffled trench collars and shearling outerwear designed for the "out-out" crowd.

Raw Mango

Making a significant London debut, Sanjay Garg’s "It’s Not About the Flower" challenged South Asian stereotypes by focusing on the plurality of the garland rather than singular motifs. The collection showcased the architectural versatility of Indian silks, using hand-rolled textiles to create sculptural capes and structured saris that felt both deeply traditional and fiercely modern.

Richard Quinn

Richard Quinn brought high-octane drama to LFW, leaning into a strictly sculpted hourglass silhouette reminiscent of 1950s couture. Set against a stark geometric runway, the collection balanced signature florals with subversive touches, like black velvet gloves and dramatic mermaid hems.
