Arrival at the show consisted of receiving a Passport book and answering a short questionnaire to see which group you belong in. Are you an adventurer, warrior or an introspective thinker? From that point, we began our journey through the YAKU Universe of various vignettes and of course through a journey of fashion.
Read MoreWalking into St. Paul’s Church for Hector Maclean’s AW25 show, "Bastard Aristocrat", the atmosphere was buzzing with anticipation, equal parts reverence and rebellion. The setting alone, with rain-slicked cobblestones and Union Jack umbrellas bobbing outside, felt like a metaphor for Maclean’s collection, a collision of sacred tradition and anarchic energy. As the wind picked up one of the umbrellas and set it flying majestically across the runway, the show begins...
Read MoreDesigner George Keburia, known for his sculptural silhouettes and gothic undertones, delivered a collection that felt like a love letter to nocturnal glamour, with a dash of Georgian folklore. This season, Keburia played with contrasts in surrealism and traditionalism.
Read MoreWhen the PR person at a show tells you to sit front row instead of your designated second row seat, it is like getting upgraded to First from Economy Plus on a flight. When I got upgraded, I knew this show was going to be special. Pauline Dujancourt’s AW25 collection is a delicate ode to memory and rebirth. As someone who’s raced through Parisian traffic to catch a closing gate (KIMHEKIM SS25), I appreciate when a show demands you slow down and Dujancourt’s did just that.
Read MoreThe energy at Ray Chu’s AW25 showcase was a magnetic blend of audacity and vulnerability. Titled "CHAPTER V: KISS ME", the collection marked Chu’s London Fashion Week presentation with a statement; fashion is not just worn, it’s felt. The Soho venue, intimate yet charged, became a stage for silhouettes that defied gender norms, wrapped in a dreamy palette of dusky pinks and molten metallics.
Read MoreGorey’s signature subversion was everywhere. Her signature disheveled elegance of crushed velvet dresses with asymmetrical hems, as if thrown on in haste, but cut with precision. Metallics and sheer panels blurred the line between last night’s party and this morning’s aftermath.
Read MoreCharlie Constantinou’s AW25 showcase at London Fashion Week felt like stepping into a mirage, industrial grit melting into Saharan warmth. Held at 180 The Strand, the space was transformed with hand-dyed drapes and dappled lighting, echoing the collection’s fusion of technical precision and nomadic romance.
Read MoreThe Kalighat paintings; bold, fluid, and unapologetically narrative. These works, born near Kolkata’s Kalighat temple, once chronicled mythology and social change. Gupta reimagined them with a modernist twist, collaborating with Midnapore artisans to handcraft prints that feel both ancient and urgent.
Read MoreThis season we saw less of the streetwear aesthetic and I was glad to see it go. Having been to many seasons of Fasts' shows, that angle just really wasn't him nor was it something that the audience necessarily wants from him. The AW25 show felt more like a return to what he is best at, designing intricate yet forceful looks.
Read More"Where the hell are we going? It can't possibly be here..." I said as Sabrina and I double checked my Google Maps. We were looking for the Abigail Ajobi show. This breakout talent was the buzz of LFW this season and I was not about to miss this show because Goggle can't locate the show! When we finally uncovered this secret location we were ushered to a row of seats in the parking lot of a block of the projects. No matter where you are from, you know what the projects look like. And was I surprised that we were at a show in the projects? Absolutely not. Fashion happens everywhere and fashion is from everywhere, at any time.
Read MoreThe AW25 collection was a study in contrasts; sharp-shouldered blazers paired with draped bodices, pencil skirts sliced to reveal slivers of skin, and maxi dresses that moved like liquid. Tailoring was meticulous, sculptural yet never stiff, while asymmetrical cuts and layered fabrics added depth, mirroring the architectural interplay of light and shadow.
