London Fashion Week has wrapped up, leaving behind a trail of glitter, drama, and unforgettable moments. From February 20th to 24th, the British capital transformed into a global stage for designers, celebrities, and fashion enthusiasts. As the industry shifts its gaze to Milan, let’s take a moment to relive the highlights of this sartorial spectacle.
Dilara Findikoglu’s show was a masterclass in audacity. Her collection was a dark, gothic fairytale come to life—think corsets that could double as armor, vampiric gowns straight out of a medieval saga, and office attire for nuns with a rebellious streak. The pièce de résistance? A sea-inspired ensemble adorned with hundreds of shells and leather scales, proving that fashion can be both otherworldly and wearable.
Simone Rocha stayed true to her signature aesthetic but with a twist. Transparent fabrics, satin ribbons, and cascades of pearls and crystals were juxtaposed with edgy leather jackets, harnesses, and voluminous furs. The result? A collection that felt like a delicate dance between fragility and strength, a theme that resonated deeply with the audience.
This year, the runway blurred the lines between fashion and film. British actress Andrea Riseborough strutted for Simone Rocha, while Florence Pugh made her catwalk debut at Harris Reed. Burberry, however, stole the show with a star-studded lineup that included Jessica Madsen, Jason Isaacs, Elizabeth McGovern, Leslie Manville, and Richard E. Grant. Naomi Campbell, ever the icon, proved she’s not slowing down anytime soon, and Lila Moss, the new face of fashion’s nepo-baby wave, made her presence known.
The front rows were just as dazzling as the runways. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, the inseparable Nicola and Brooklyn Peltz-Beckham, and a solo Orlando Bloom graced Burberry’s show. Kate Moss and her daughter lit up Donna Karan’s event, while Kim Cattrall, a rare sighting at fashion week, made a surprise appearance at Burberry with her boyfriend Russell Thomas. The stars didn’t just attend—they brought their A-game, turning the shows into a red carpet of their own.
As London hands the baton to Milan, the fashion world eagerly anticipates what’s next. But one thing’s for sure: London Fashion Week 2024 will be remembered for its bold designs, star power, and moments that blurred the line between fantasy and reality.
