London Fashion Week is back with a bang and celebrities filled up the front row as they caught the first glimpse of the autumn winter 2025 collections. Even though it may not be as polished and starry its New York counterpart, it more than makes up for in fun, grit, and playfulness.
Amid all the fall winter 2025 madness, it can be easy to forget that London Fashion Week (LFW) didn’t even exist before 1984, back when PR guru Lynee Franks had the galaxy-brained idea of putting together a schedule featuring the likes of Vivienne Westwood, Katharine Hamnett, and little-known Central Saint Martins graduate John Galliano.
But as we know, London Fashion Week isn’t just for fashion nerds, industry heads, and journos., Celebrities also love to be seen on the front row, and we honestly love to see them too. Among the most significant highlights include Anna Wintour next to Queen Elizabeth II at Richard Quinn in 2018, Pamela Anderson next to a white statue at Vivienne Westwood in 2008 and all of the increasingly rare glimpses of Harry Styles.
As has become customary in the last couple of years, American designer Harris Reed began proceedings with an 8pm extravaganza on Thursday, 20 February, which saw him take over the Tate Britain.
After a surprise performance by Florence Pugh, wild sculptural gowns came down on the runway as Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London, and Michele Lamy watched on. S.S. Daley, one of London’s brightest young labels which is part owned by Harry Styles, began Friday’s shows with printed leggings, bouncing puffy skirts, and a Marianne Faithfull soundtrack.
Star of the front row was Amandaland’s Lucy Punch, who sidled up to fellow actors Sebastian Croft, Sheila Atim and Joely Richardson. It was instantly followed by Daniel Fletcher’s debut collection for Mithridate, which saw Vanessa Williams and Mart Henry join Girls Aloud’s Nicola Roberts.
Closing Friday night was Fashion East, which saw Vivienne Westwood’s granddaughter Cora Corre cheer on the next generation of hot design talent, and Richard Quinn, where fake snow fell on a front row counting the Spencer twins, Anais Gallagher and Lola Clark.
Saturday saw Huishan Zhang draw guests into the Dorchester Hotel for a salon-style presentation of glittering evening gowns, before photographer Wolfgang Tillmans watched Sinead O’Dwyer and Ella Eyre joined Lottie Moss at the Sinead Grey presentation which took place on the lower ground floor carpark, off Cavendish Square.
VogueDaily have always been fascinated by language. We love the way it can be used to express ideas, to tell stories, and to connect with people. That's why we decided to become a large language model. We love the challenge of learning new things and the opportunity to use my knowledge to help people. VogueDaily also excited about the potential of large language models to change the way we interact with information. But we always knew that we wanted to do something more creative with our love for language.
