Mithridates
Mithridate, a Chinese brand that has been showing in London for several seasons, gave its first proper presentation on schedule, with Charlie Rowe, Tamsin Greig, Tigerlily Taylor, Jameela Jamil and James Blake in the audience. Stylist Harry Lambert helped the brand create a more concise vision for a collection that celebrates traditional arts and crafts from Yunnan.
There were many opulent dresses adorned with metal embellishments inspired by the silverware ornaments of the Miao ethnic minority who live in the region’s mountains, as well as more commercial looks like silk-print dresses, Qiqao-inspired jackets and tie-dye denim.
Movalola
Mowalola wrapped up London Fashion Week in spectacular fashion, with the catwalk show equal parts clothing presentation, performance and album launch. Scarlet Ts and the brand’s signature Bundle Bag were branded with “Ebony” and “Mowa” in block print, and barely-there latex skirts and feathered shorts were paired with desirable thigh-high strappy boots.
Talia Mansion
Ah, I wish I were Talia Byre’s daughter.
This season, the designer, a favorite of London’s savvy fashion crowd, set out to solidify who her clientele is. One thing’s for sure: It’s seriously cool. Lipkin Connor says she draws inspiration from childhood cartoons, from “Dennis the Menace” to Wilma in “The Flintstones,” and the poppy reds and purples of old-school CRT televisions.
Highlights included stripes on loose jersey silhouettes, chic sheepskin vests, mini skirts and a dress.
Charlie Constantinou
Charlie Constantinou’s core principles—“Fit, function, and color,” as he told WWD last season—were on full display at his spring 2025 show. Constantinou’s work takes a fresh, youthful look at dressing for all weather conditions, from the great outdoors to the city and everywhere in between.
This season was no different: Lime green raincoats with epaulets and puffy pockets were perfect for rainy spring days, while airy bouclé tank tops came with hoods and scarves, allowing the wearer to tailor them to the hottest or coldest days.
Caroline Vitto
With the help of stylist Georgia Medley, Karoline Vitto presented her most thoughtful collection yet this season, featuring flowing, form-fitting dresses in black, nude, brown, white, scarlet, bright pink and stormy blue, held together with shiny metal wires.
The softness of the fabric and the sensual, body-hugging style create an exciting dynamic with signature metal details, which were combined with Brazilian jewellery designer Carlos Penna to create a more elegant and flexible look.
Consistency London
BFC ambassador Hu Bing brought Chinese brand Consistence to London for a catwalk show on Thursday night. The brand, founded by Tien Lu and Fangfang, offered a pared-down yet accessible take on men’s wardrobe staples. One of the highlights was a trench coat-inspired apron.
Pauline Dujancourt
Ten years ago, Pauline Dujancourt said she expressed her desire to be a fashion designer and wrote it down in a little note. In a moment of luck, she became a Paul Smith Foundation recipient and 2024 The LVMH Prize finalist recently rediscovered this.
This collection served as a full-circle moment. Dujancourt’s textile prowess was on full display, with dreamy crochet dresses adorned with ruffles and frilled skirt suits. fit for fairies.
Cevahira Street
Jawara Alleyne’s spring 2025 collection was a love letter to the Cayman Islands. Eggplant, turquoise and mustard jersey was ripped, ripped and cut, then draped, safety-pinned and knotted all around the body; straight-leg trousers were striped and dresses were slim-fitting.
The collection, prepared in collaboration with the Cayman Islands Ministries of Tourism and Culture, will be exhibited at the Cayman Islands National Gallery.
Lueder
Marie Lueder’s first in-calendar runway show was inspired by the magic of alchemy, presenting dirty, sporty-infused garments with a pale colour palette inspired by highly accessible chemical transformation.
Meanwhile, a male model who walked down the catwalk wearing a hooded dress and carrying giant metal chains has attracted huge attention on social media for the Royal College of Art graduate.
Phoebe English
“Hotel bedding, bridal leftover silks, surplus scraps, errant sewing threads” – the materials listed in Phoebe English’s press release sounded like a collector’s find.
The beauty of English’s presentation was an avant-garde ode to recycling: box-button shirts, silk skirts, and cut-out sweetheart dresses made up the designer’s spring 2025 collection.
All Saints
AllSaints is celebrating its 30th anniversary and the brand has celebrated the anniversary with a spectacular runway show, launching three flirty fragrances.
This British rock ‘n’ roll-forward runway show solidified the brand’s love affair with leather and lace. Fittingly, the brand’s newly launched fragrance trio—”Sunset Riot Intense,” “Shoreditch Leather,” and “Ravaged Rose”—also featured their own leather jackets.
eBay
As vintage enthusiasts know, online resale sites and second-hand shops are the go-to places to find the best fashion items. eBay knows it too: To promote London Fashion Week, both of their stores staged catwalk shows where second-hand clothes were displayed on the runways.
eBay has teamed up with the British Fashion Council to highlight garments from iconic British designers including John Galliano, Paul Smith and Stella McCartney.
Tolu Coker
British-Nigerian designer Tolu Coker knows the adage that “Mother knows best” and dedicated this season’s show to her mother, Olapeju, in sweet colours like orange, purple, blue and more.
The designer designed the geometric shapes himself, reminiscent of the wallpapers found in African homes.
“The prints on recycled satins were inspired by the concept of people becoming part of a space in communal gathering spaces,” Coker said backstage.
Temperley London
Alice Temperley prepped for spring with a series of romantic, flowing evening dresses in printed metallic velvet and sequined printed georgette. For daytime, she took inspiration from her recent trip to Barcelona, adding a touch of the city’s swirling neo-Gothic and Art Nouveau art and architecture.
There were patterned kimonos, gorgeous double knits with a new “T” logo, cotton separates and denim. It’s a year of change for Temperley, who sold a majority stake in her company to Dubai-based Times Square Group last November. She’s re-building her design and merchandising team and plans to open a store on Sloane Street in November.
Philipp Dorner
German designer Philipp Dorner had the transition from youth to adulthood in mind.
He studied the Boy Scout uniforms and how they were made fantastical by adding translucent prints, velvets, see-through breeches, and a garrison hat decorated with sparkly sequins.
“The collection is a reflection of how different things can be in life and how no matter how prepared you are, things will not be the same and will often be better,” the designer said.
