HARRIS REED
Harris Reed opened the show with dramatic live cellos and a monologue by Florence Pugh. Reed’s outfits balanced theatrical volume with British punk influences, using armor-like shapes and towering crinolines that kept people at a distance. The designer even borrowed furniture-making techniques to strengthen the silhouettes, proving you can bring drama and craftsmanship to the runway in unexpected ways.
SIMONE ROCHA
Simone Rocha’s Fall/Winter 2025 show felt like a trip back to childhood but with a modern twist. Held in London’s Goldsmiths’ Hall, her runway included delicate taffeta dresses, ruffled polos, and leather jackets—all with playful hints of rebellion. The fable The Tortoise and the Hare inspired accessories like pearl-studded turtles and hare bags, reminding us to take life at our own pace. Rocha’s color palette stuck to her signature pinks, reds, and blacks, creating a sweet yet strong look that balanced innocence and edge. Celebrities such as Alexa Chung and Bel Powley walked the runway, underlining Simone Rocha’s knack for mixing fantasy with everyday wear. By blending youthful nostalgia and grown-up sophistication, she delivered a collection that felt fun, reflective, and uniquely hers.
ERDEM
Erdem Moralıoğlu teamed up with artist Kaye Donachie, taking a painterly approach to patterns and textures. The result was a collection that felt like art brought to life. Hints of Virginia Woolf’s To the Lighthouse snuck into the color palette, giving the collection a soft yet moody feel.
RICHARD QUINN
Richard Quinn transformed the runway into a winter wonderland, complete with snowfall and black-and-white ballgowns. These ladylike silhouettes came with his signature floral prints and dramatic opera gloves. Iconic model Penelope Tree walked the runway, while Princess Diana’s nieces watched from the front row, creating a star-studded scene that was equal parts regal and social-media-ready.
ROKSANDA
Roksanda looked to the late artist Phyllida Barlow for inspiration, focusing on reusing everyday materials in artful ways. This meant big, sculptural looks that seemed to shift and move with each step. The collection captured an in-between state—somewhere between sturdy and soft—that felt both wearable and forward-thinking.
EMILIA WICKSTEAD
Emilia Wickstead’s collection saluted the American thriller film The Birds, but through the women who shaped it: costume designer Edith Head, actress Tippi Hedren, and writer Daphne du Maurier. The result? Clothes that balanced elegance and a hint of tension, nodding to how fashion can tell a story beyond just looking pretty. Expect refined silhouettes with subtle references to mid-century style.
BURBERRY
Daniel Lee brought bold outerwear to the forefront, showing at The Tate Modern with grand drapes and nods to the English countryside. Think velour bombers, fur-lined trenches, and an oversized Burberry check that popped up in scarves, weekend bags, and even co-ord waistlines. Daniel Lee turned away from last season’s brighter prints to focus on an earthy palette of browns, greens, and deep reds, reflecting his vision of modern British luxury. Lee managed to keepthe classic Burberry check visible but added fresh shapes, textures, and colors. Famous faces both walked the runway and occupied the front rows. By blending heritage patterns with fresh silhouettes, he proved Burberry can satisfy both its traditional fan base and today’s style-hungry crowd.
NOON BY NOOR
Noon By Noor showcased a salon-style presentation at Somerset House, drawing from Bahraini architecture for structural but fluid clothes. The designers used new fabric treatments, like stripping and fraying wool tweeds onto tulle, to create a subtle texture. Each look was designed to look strong yet effortless.
