Good morning, and welcome to day two of London Fashion Week. The week kicked off yesterday with a buzzy show from Tolu Coker, made all the more momentous by the presence of King Charles on the front row. Add a surprise appearance from Little Simz, and the tone for the week was set. Harris Reed followed with their signature sculptural drama, as well as the unveiling of their first bridal collection. By evening, the momentum continued as Who What Wear UK celebrated its 10-year anniversary at Kiyori Bar at Aki London.
Today promises just as much excitement, with Bora Aksu, Sinead Gorey, Fashion East and Mithridate on the schedule. Often regarded amongst the "big four" as the hub for burgeoning talent, London Fashion Week thrives on fresh voices and visions. As the week unfolds, we’ll be reporting live all through it all, bringing you the standout shows, defining trends and key moments set to shape the season. Stay tuned for updates as they happen.

"The Joseph woman is a cosmopolitan woman, a working woman and, as the brand decreed at the autumn/winter 2026 show, an artistic woman. However, instead of the Charlotte York-type of 'gallerina' you might expect from a brand that stages its first runway show in seven years in The Tanks at the Tate Modern—Think: WASP-y knits, airy cottons and loose pleated trousers—the ensembles were far more structured and sharp. If we were to compare to a fictional Manhattanite, I'd argue that it's Miranda Priestly's wardrobe that served as inspiration. Tailoring and separates served as a key part of this collection, with the tension between both the crux of the range. Slouchy knitwear rendered in creamy white hues were offset by suiting two-pieces in taupe hues. Black leather jackets and pencil skirts melted into chocolate brown fur coats and satin trousers. There were a few dresses, which felt quite bohemian and something that an adherent of the 'desert aunt aesthetic' would wear, given they were fitted out in python prints and pleated sheer fabric. Overall, the collection was a clear nod to the freedom of the '70s and the power suiting of the '80s. However, in 2026, these pieces find new meaning, especially when presented in a brutalist setting and with Berlin techno music." — Ava Gilchrist, SEO Writer, Who What Wear
"If I could describe my dream front row set up, this would be it. Pint in hand, Pulp pumping out of the speakers and models propping up the bar.
Sinead Gorey cherrypicked the best of this year’s microtrends and made us want them all: argyle tights, military jackets, bug-eye sunglasses. Models walked the runway in morning-after glam (a.k.a. smudged lipsticks, panda eyes and bed head) wearing Y2k waistlines, low-slung studded belts and all over checks: it’s what indie sleaze wishes it was.
On a dreary London day amidst the velvet stools, beer taps and Brit pop soundtrack, Sinead Gorey actually made us proud to be British." — Megan Story, Social Media Editor, Who What Wear
"If you needed any further proof that Polka dots are back on the agenda for 2026, Bora Aksu's layered dresses and sheer trousers were decidedly hot for the spot. Deep into the gothic romance of autumn/winter, tiered skirts and corsetry in gathered lace and puff sleeves were a standout, while vines crept up dresses and hosiery, and poppies bloomed on head-to-toe looks. Melancholy brides in gowns, velvet suiting and pearl headdresses feel like a sure sign that the Wuthering Heights era will reign supreme for the rest of the year. — Remy Farrell, Fashion Editor, Who What Wear
Showcasing his signature floral motifs, Patrick McDowell’s collection was punctuated with punchy pops of royal purple—the very shade we’ve predicted will rise as the colour of the season in the months ahead. Alongside sweeping satin dresses, sheer black separates, and tailored peplum pieces, McDowell delivered a collection brimming with refined beauty.
“Beauty is something I think we need more of. Beauty for beauty’s sake,” he said in the show notes for his Autumn/Winter 2026 collection, The Gaze.
"Staged like something you'd see at Salone del Mobile, Fiorucci's took over Somerset House's Lancaster Room for its autumn/winter 2026 collection. Flanked by limestone walls, the Italian maison transported us to some mid-century apartment where pool was played, champagne was sipped and conversations were held on the polka-dot sunken couch. Dalmatian print was a real highlight of the collection, as were some feather masks—perhaps an ode to the cherubic wings in the brand's logo—worn by some models, which created a sense of mystery and masquerade. Because it wouldn't be Milan without sighting some animal print, right?" — Ava Gilchrist, SEO Writer Who What Wear
Next up, Harris Reed unveiled his bridal debut. The team’s immediate reaction? Why hasn’t he done this sooner? The category feels tailor-made for Reed’s theatrical sensibility.
Vibrant veils set an irreverent tone, signalling looks far better suited to the cool bride than the traditionalist. With a tightly edited selection of gowns, the collection marked an exciting new realm for Reed to explore.
Tolu Coker opened the week with a surprise front-row appearance from Charles III. Seated alongside Stella McCartney, the King looked on as Tolu Coker unveiled a strong collection of reimagined layering, experimental proportions and a palpable energy. With a sharp instinct for the silhouettes London women actually want to wear right now, Tolu Coker is quickly emerging as one of London's buzziest names.
