We all know eccentricity is London's bread and butter, and this was duly delivered at London Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2023. Following a jam-packed hybrid schedule of both physical and digital shows spanning the 17 to 21 February, the crème de la crème of Britain's fashion design sphere came out in force to showcase joyous collections.
The fashion world has suffered many hard-hitting losses since last season, with the losses of Vivienne Westwood, Paco Rabanne and Thierry Mugler rocking the industry. London's electric, colourbomb collections were just the remedy we all needed. Yet it wasn’t only the models debuting noteworthy looks, as flocks of celebrities congregated on the front row in their most fashionable finery.
