London Fashion Week's spring/summer 2027 season, running September 17 through 21, has centered on two major homecomings for British fashion: Alexander McQueen's return to the official London schedule after 25 years away, and Christopher Kane's debut as creative director of Mulberry, marking that house's first runway show in six years.
McQueen closed out Sunday's calendar with an 8 p.m. show inside the Undercroft of Lincoln's Inn Chapel, the label's first London presentation since creative director Seán McGirr took over in 2023 and its first appearance on the city's official schedule since the brand shifted its runway calendar to Paris more than two decades ago. The front row drew Emilia Clarke, Emma Corrin, Salma Hayek, Florence Welch, Alexa Chung and The Summer I Turned Pretty star Lola Tung, whose attendance is covered in more detail in a separate FashionTimes piece. Earlier that same afternoon, at 3 p.m., Mulberry staged its own comeback at the Queen Elizabeth II Centre with "Mulberry by Christopher Kane," the designer's first collection since his eponymous label entered administration in 2023. Kane, who continues to work alongside his sister and longtime collaborator Tammy Kane, built the show around the brand's mulberry-tree symbol, sending out axe-shaped handbags, an oversized take on the archival Piccadilly bag in mock croc, and shoes finished with the house's signature Postman's Lock hardware. He described heritage as "a foundation, not a limitation" and was met with a standing ovation. The collection arrives in stores and online in January 2027.
