London Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2027 put British brand identity back in focus, from Christopher Kane’s Mulberry debut to McQueen’s Savile Row collaboration and Daniel Lee’s work with Celia Birtwell at Burberry. Alongside those established names, independent labels used folklore, sculpture and textile experimentation to make a distinct case for their clothes.
The September 17–21, 2026 shows have concluded. This guide brings together the official runway videos and collection films we could verify, organized by show date with short notes on what to watch for. For the wider season, explore our Milan Fashion Week, New York Fashion Week and Paris Fashion Week coverage.
William Costelloe softened the house’s tailoring with linen, silk and lightweight cotton, pairing sculpted shoulders and curved lapels with side pleated shorts and long trousers. Hand drawn scarves and textiles from Ferguson’s Irish Linen and Magee kept the collection’s Irish identity visible.
KEBURIA introduced menswear on its runway, extending its exaggerated tailoring into a broader wardrobe. British countryside jacquards, equestrian references and Western details met washed canvas, metallic tweed and extreme fringe, giving familiar dress codes an unruly edge.
Primal Glamour put engineered transparency at the center of Mark Fast’s body conscious dressing. Open mesh, crochet and sculptural tulle met distressed denim, bringing a darker, 1970s glamour to the label’s knitwear vocabulary.
Bora Aksu looked to Mary Beale, one of England’s earliest professional women painters, for a collection about creative independence. Antep embroidery from Gaziantep, Türkiye, connected that historical reference to textile traditions sustained by women.
Air•Illusion used transparent layers and interlocking geometric pieces to make flowers appear as the clothes moved. Reassembled porcelain, repaired jade and a Crocs collaboration extended the collection’s interest in transformation beyond the dresses.
Slavic folklore collided with the world of champion bowler Marion Ladewig, bringing witches, spirits and retro sportswear into the same collection. Ruffled lace, beaded black bodices and angular skirts sat alongside bowling shirts, while deadstock fabrics and faux fur added texture.
Simone Rocha explored the space between getting dressed and being fully put together, leaving prints smudged and shapes looking padded, sculpted or touched. The collection made those small gestures part of the silhouette, with each character appearing to be on her way somewhere.
The Myth of Sisyphus translated ballet’s repetition and discipline into a collection film, with dancers moving through a gym, tennis court and pool. Sculpted tutus and an emerald gown with a three metre train gave the exercise a fashion vocabulary of volume, color and controlled movement.
ERDEM drew on the performer Barbette to explore transformation and the exchange between masculine and feminine dress. Embroidered tailoring, crushed organza and Prince of Wales checks gave that idea a wardrobe built around contrast.
Christopher Kane’s first ready to wear collection for Mulberry brought the Bayswater’s leather panels and angles into coats and skirts, while the Postman’s Lock appeared on belts and footwear. The debut turned recognizable accessories into a clothing language, with the full collection due in January 2027.
Françoise Grossen’s braided rope sculptures informed ROKSANDA’s balance of softness and monumentality. Relaxed suits, gathered backs and sculptural braided belts shaped a collection in chocolate, straw and navy, giving volume a strong architectural focus.
Seán McGirr connected McQueen’s London identity to Savile Row through three bespoke menswear looks made with Huntsman. Elongated proportions, broad shoulders and narrow waists put tailoring at the center of the collaboration, which also opened a route to bespoke commissions.
Daniel Lee brought Celia Birtwell’s hand drawn flowers and faces into Burberry’s Summer 2027 wardrobe, setting their irregularity against checks, gingham and stripes. The print collaboration gave the house another way to express British identity beyond its signature check.
