Following the appointment of British Fashion Council CEO Laura Weir, last season’s London Fashion Week arrived with renewed momentum.
Now, the calendar turns to A/W 2026, with Erdem, Simone Rocha, Talia Byre, Jawara Alleyne and Chopova Lowena shaping a schedule that signals considered evolution.
The week opened with a symbolic note of visibility, as King Charles III attended Tolu Coker’s runway show, front row alongside Stella McCartney and a cross section of London’s design community, underscoring fashion’s renewed cultural and civic presence.
As collections begin to unfold, London itself becomes an extension of the show, its rain slicked pavements doubling as an unscripted runway. After a biting stretch of winter weather, the fashion crowd is dressing with intent, proving that practicality need not come at the expense of style.
London street style resists uniformity. The city’s democratic fashion DNA is expressed through layered silhouettes, oversized outerwear, statement jackets, thrifted finds, flashes of hosiery and decisive colour. Where New York opened the month with a more codified winter language, London reads as instinctive and individual, each look shaped by personal narrative rather than trend prescription.
Ahead, we are rounding up the best street style looks from London Fashion Week AW26 so far.
