The provisional schedule for London Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2025 is finally out, set to run from September 12th to 17th. While many of us are still savouring the long summer days by the beach or pool with cocktails in hand, the fashion world is in full motion, preparing collections, venues and seating charts. Looking over the past few years, this season promises to be a bigger one, with additional brands like Harris Reed, Patrick McDowell and Standing Ground joining the schedule. Meanwhile, digital shows have significantly dwindled, with only a few videos slated for release on September 17th.
You might be thinking that fashion week is exclusive to industry insiders, but can you get involved? Absolutely. The LFW City Wide Celebration offers a program of events and activations open to the public throughout the week. Plus, many designers stream their catwalks online on social media and YouTube, making it accessible to all.
