It only seems like five minutes since the last London Fashion show in the spring, but September’s show is set to dazzle even more. The British Fashion Council (BFC) is pleased to announce the provisional schedule for London Fashion Week presented by 1664 Blanc (LFW) September 2025, taking place from Thursday, 18 to Monday, 22 September.
September’s schedule reflects a designer-first approach: ambitious, purposeful and rooted in the creative energy that defines the city and London icons BURBERRY, ERDEM, EMILIA WICKSTEAD, SIMONE ROCHA and ROKSANDA return to schedule, with ROKSANDA celebrating the brand’s 20th year, alongside long-standing talent incubator FASHION EAST, which marks its 25th anniversary. This season, JW ANDERSON will host a special evening event in collaboration with the BFC to celebrate the brand’s relaunch.
BFC/Vogue Designer Fashion Fund winner CONNER IVES will show this September, alongside cult label CHOPOVA LOWENA who return to the LFW schedule. The line-up also includes; AHLUWALIA, HARRIS REED, LABRUM LONDON, MARQUES’ALMEIDA, PAOLO CARZANA, PATRICK MCDOWELL, RICHARD QUINN, TALIA BYRE and TOVE.

The BFC is pleased to confirm that the Department for Culture, Media and Sport has recommitted to supporting the BFC NEWGEN showspace for the next four years, which this season is located at 180 Strand.
Bridging culture and commerce, LFW will also feature retail-led activations, with stylist HARRY LAMBERT launching a DISNEY X ZARA collection at SELFRIDGES, and H&M which is returning to the schedule with ‘THE LONDON ISSUE’ catwalk.
In a significant moment of cultural exchange, celebrated Indian designer ANAMIKA KHANNA will make her LFW debut, reflecting the BFC’s new commitment to international collaboration and hosting global talent. Other catwalk debuts include DREAMING ELI, KSENIASCHNAIDER and RORY WILLIAM DOCHERTY. KYLE HO, LUCILA SAFDIE and adaptive fashion brand UNHIDDEN will also make debuts this season with standalone presentations.
LITTLE ITALY UK, the community organisation dedicated to celebrating Italian heritage in the UK, made a striking debut on the international fashion stage at the Coral Rooms in February.
Masserati cars lined the red carpet as celebs and dignitaries came to see a stunning fashion show by Bencivenga, known for innovative luxury, and Teresa Si Couture with her elegant, timeless designs, including wedding gowns.
Stars such as Maria Benkh from Love is Blind and Diamante Laiva from Love Island were in attendance, as well as socialites such as Luisa Ruocco, Naomi Isted and Fernande Andrea. September’s event will see celebrity guests such as So Solid Crew’s Lisa Mafia and soap stars from Emmerdale.
Luisa Ruocco, organiser of the event said: “It is very interesting how London Fashion Week has evolved in the last few years, with the presence of more and more designers from abroad who really want to make a mark in the UK.
“Little Italy’s LFW event remains one of the staples of Italian culture in England and next season’s will have some big surprises.”
