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 will finish on Tuesday the 17th of September. London Fashion Week is celebrating its fortieth anniversary, and this week will feature 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 this spring/summer season is bright and bold colours paired with neutral shades. Other similarities include an emphasis on nostalgia for past decades. Trends include padded and rounded hips, dropped waistlines, bows, and the layering of sheer pieces.
JW Anderson presented his Spring/Summer 25 collection at Old Billingsgate Market. Take a look at the full runway show below.
The main focus of the collection was the mini-dress. Mini-dresses were in many forms: knitted, woven, puffed out, twisted out of shape, and reduced to their constituent parts in order to reinterpret them. Anderson used only four materials, leather, silk, cashmere, and sequins, with lace as the singular decoration, to create every piece. To circumnavigate the limited materials, he used trompe l'oeil effects to recreate buttons, zips, hoodie strings, pockets, and hoods. The collection also veered from sleek and form-fitting to oversized and voluminous. Take a look at some of the pieces from this fascinating collection below.
