In the 40 years since the first , thousands of the city's spaces have been transformed to fashion show venues for one-night-only. From Shoreditch to South Kensington, no area of London has been left without an arrival from the 'fash pack' to get a glimpse of what's new and what's next. The SS25 shows were no different.
From Thursday to Monday, fashion shows lit up the capital proving that it's not only the clothes that come out of London that are creatively expansive but so too is the breadth of architecture they're shown amongst. Think of fashion week as the ultimate tour of London, but an open-top bus is swapped for an electric Mercedes-Benz town car. We went to The Royal Geographical Society, The Truman Brewery, to the banks of The Thames and back and forth to 180 The Strand like a funny fashion yo-yo.
Simone Rocha invited us to the The Old Bailey, London's criminal court, where it's grandiose interior was an exquisite backdrop for an exquisite collection. Shortly after, it was over to the steps of The British Museum, where its 43 Greek temple-style columns backdropped Erdem's emotional collection that was festooned in its own history as the designer drew inspiration from Radclyffe Hall’s 1928 queer love story 'The Well of Loneliness.' Roksanda showed her voluminous, colourful collection in a yet-to-be-occupied office block with a circular catwalk that made the most of the crisp September sunshine as models veered to an outside balcony overlooking the city.
Labrum too sh.
