Florence Pugh, sequins and an IV drip: London Fashion Week returns to a roaring start

Harris Reed

Things are finally looking up for London Fashion Week. Burberry is back on the schedule for Daniel Lee’s debut, familiar faces like Julien Macdonald have returned to the lineup, and we’ve even had a surprise appearance from none other than Florence Pugh. All this after the gloom of last season, which saw various cancellations following the Queen’s death the previous week, and there are plenty of reasons to be cheerful on the FROW.

First up, though, is the biannual rigamarole any seasoned LFW attendee will know well. If you’re anything like me and intend on wearing silly shoes that definitely weren’t made for walking, the first thing to sort out is transport. This season, I’m lucky enough to be getting between shows in a plush sage green Volvo XC40, which is one of the brand’s most sustainable and smoothest rides.
