Fashionistas, it’s time to get ready and find your best outfits to prepare to walk that runway, because London Fashion Week is upon us.
Earlier this year, the show shined a spotlight on Ukrainian designers as the country neared its one-year anniversary of war.
“United 24” was written on the flag, a reference to global initiative for support for the war-torn country. Three of Ukraine’s most prominent designers showcased their latest collections on the final day of LFW.
So, who will surprise us for this season?
Here is everything you need to know about London Fashion Week
When will LFW be taking place?
The fashion extravaganza is set to take place between 15-19 September 2023.
Where will it be held?
Designers tend to host their own shows at various secret locations – but the main event is usually held at 180 The Strand and Somerset House in central London.
The closest station to the venues is Holborn and Temple.
Can I get tickets to the shows?
Tickets are unfortunately only reserved for those working within the fashion industry and are given out on an invite- only basis – but LWF does also offer a number of events that the general public can enjoy.
LFW’s “City Wide Celebration” has been curated for the public and will include “designer Q&A sessions, workshops around Zero-Waste Craftsmanship and upcycling, live music performances, and limited-edition product drops.”
What are the highlights for this year?
There are a range of talented designers set to take centre stage with their chic looks, including BFC NEWGEN designers, 16Arlington, Burberry, JW Anderson, KNWLS, Molly Goddard, Richard Quinn, ROKSANDA & Simone Rocha.
