City Wide Celebration

The Spring/Summer 2025 season promises to be particularly special as LFW still celebrates its 40th birthday, marking four decades of pioneering fashion innovation, diversity, and creativity, while being the springboard for young talent in fashion.

SPRING/SUMMER 2025

There was a real period drama feel at this year's most important fashion event for Spring/Summer 2025. Fendi's recent collection featured models with long necks, high cheekbones and natural looking hair, which was slicked back. All in all, this simply, accentuated, real beauty, bringing back memories of the past. Use of light plum hues, bought back Sugar Plum Fairy nostalgia. The same was seen with Max Mara, as Catwalk models, looked like each sent you a step back in time, transporting  you back, to the windy moors, with, some of literature's best heroine's, springing, to mind. Fendi's designer collection, had dusky plum skirts and tops, accentuated perfectly, by use of a colour clash, too.  Bright citrus orange accessories, and shoes, surfaced some excitement, and zest to outfits, as did an orange creamy sheen on heels.
Max Mara, had the same mulled temperance effect, throughout their collection, through dark hues, such as black, grey and brown, but no injection or burst of colour, like Fendi, this Spring/Summer.

In a recent story by Victoria Moss, published by the Evening Standard,  Fashion Designer Michael Kors was reported to have advised to 'Spend all your money on a fabulous black jacket. A beautifully tailored black jacket to go with everything from jeans to an evening dress'.  With a love for dressing Women of all sizes and ages' Kors, in a recent interview on MSN, discussed how 'I started my business in the 80s, when we got to the 90s, everything changed. Fashion in the 80s [was] very much an insider thing, fashion shows were only for fashion professionals. The public never saw them. Fashion had always felt so elitist. And then the 90s came, the models brought incredible personality and attention. Hollywood at the time was not particularly glamorous, so fashion became the place for people to get the glamour. I think it was the first time that we in fashion realised we were finally acknowledged to be part of pop culture'. 

'This season’s show took place at Terminal Warehouse – the former location of the iconic 1990s Tunnel Nightclub – in Chelsea. The space was transformed into a sleek, welcoming residential space with mid-century furniture, exposed brick and wood panelling, Japanese lanterns, end tables and home décor reminiscent of a downtown New York loft'. 

Singer Dua Lipa was seen wearing an all black outfit with a cape, and material bow, seen backstage at the CHANEL show for Spring/Summer 2025.
