September marks the beginning of month-long fashion show extravaganzas for spring/summer 2025, starting in New York before moving to London and Milan and finally wrapping up in Paris at the start of October.
London Fashion Week kicked off on the 12th of September and finished on Tuesday the 17th of September. London Fashion Week was celebrating its fortieth anniversary, and the week featured presentations and catwalks from designers such as S.S. Daly, Nensi Dojaka in collaboration with Calvin Klein, Chopova Lowena, Paolo Carzana, Aaron Esh, JW Anderson, Burberry, Simone Rocha, Roksanda, and Erdem.
Like New York Fashion Week, the focus for this upcoming spring/summer season was bright and bold colours paired with neutral shades. Other similarities included an emphasis on nostalgia for past decades. Trends included padded and rounded hips, dropped waistlines, bows, and the layering of sheer pieces.
Erdem held their Spring/Summer 25 collection runway on the steps of the British Museum. Take a look at the full show below.
The collection was inspired by a 1928 book called "The Well of Loneliness" by Radclyffe Hall, which is about Stephen Gordon, a woman living as a man, and her relationship with another woman named Mary Llewellyn. It was banned later the same year. The pieces in the collection explored and merged the ideas of traditional men's and womenswear. There were 'masculine' oversized baggy suits with sweetly 'feminine' floral prints or colours, 'girly' dresses were accessorised with clunky 'masculine' shoes, and men's cardigans and blazers were paired with women's tea dresses. The collection also had a distinctly 1920s vibe, especially in the dresses with dropped waistlines, beading, and fringing. Take a closer look at some of the pieces below.
