London Fashion Week ran from 17 to 21 September 2026, according to the British Fashion Council. The provisional schedule read like a list of returns.

McQueen, back in London

McQueen returned to the London calendar with Seán McGirr’s first London show, covering both men’s and women’s Spring/Summer 2027.

Mulberry’s new hand

Mulberry, the British leather-goods house, returned with the debut collection of Christopher Kane for the brand — a pairing of one of London’s most distinctive designers with one of its best-known bag makers.

A high-street debut

Marks & Spencer also made its London Fashion Week debut, a sign of how the schedule continues to mix independent designers, heritage houses and large retailers.

The British Fashion Council has not yet published dates for February 2027. They will appear on our Fashion Weeks calendar once confirmed.
