BFC teases City Wide Celebration details with big names and four-city focus

This will include the launch of ' At Home With'. Presented by London Fashion Week (LFW) principal partner 1664 Blanc, it will feature a nationwide series of talks and panel discussions 'spotlighting the cultural and geographic roots of some of Britain's most celebrated designers'. These will (so far) include Barbour, Kazna Asker, Matty Bovan, Nadine Merabi, Patrick McDowell, SS Daley, Talia Byre and The Winter House, as At Home With 'celebrates the impact of British fashion beyond London, championing regional talent and engaging local communities'. Through the series, 1664 Blanc said it 'continues its commitment to championing emerging designers and making LFW more accessible to a broader audience, both in the capital and nationwide'. Meanwhile, the series 'supports a new strategic direction' set out by BFC CEO Laura Weir ' to decentralise British fashion from London and spotlight creative excellence across the UK'. The programme also aims to complement the recent announcement of the BFC Fashion Assembly, a pilot initiative conceived by Sarah Mower, BFC Ambassador for Emerging Talent, which received strong industry support. The Fashion Assembly is a creative education programme that will be rolled out in schools nationwide from 2026. Together, CWC and the Fashion Assembly 'represent a bold, joined-up approach to redefining the national narrative of British fashion, rooted in place, purpose, and potential'. The CWC programme kicks off in Liverpool (6 September, 15:00-17:00) featuring SS Daley, Patrick McDowell and Talia Byre (moderator) taking place at the Gordon Ramsay Bread Street Kitchen & Bar, Liverpool One. It then moves on to Manchester (13 September, 13:00-15:00) featuring Nadine Merabi, The Winter House, Matty Bovan and Kazna Asker, moderated by Emma Davidson, Dazed's fashion director of Editorial and Partnerships, at the Orient Stage, Trafford Centre. London (21 September, 12:30-13.30) still has details to be confirmed but so far we know Aaron Esh and Labrum will appear, moderated by Hetty Mahlich at 180 The Strand. Finally, Newcastle (30 September 18:30-20:00) will feature Barbour, moderated by Paul Toner, deputy editor of 10 and 10 Men, at Fenwick Newcastle, Eldon Square. The organisers said the full CWC schedule will be announced later this summer.

18% more designers, iconic brands to return to LFW 2025

The British Fashion Council (BFC) has announced the provisional schedule for London Fashion Week (LFW) September 2025, taking place from September 18-22. This season sees an 18 per cent increase in designers showing on schedule, reflecting a renewed focus from chief executive Laura Weir on cultural relevance, global competitiveness and meaningful support for talent. Amongst the strategic changes introduced for this season are the waiving of show fees for designer members showing physically on the main schedule and a doubling of investment in the LFW guest programme, supported by the department for business and trade, to welcome an expanded cohort of international press, cultural commentators and buyers to London. The British Fashion Council announced the London Fashion Week schedule for September 18-22, featuring an 18 per cent increase in participating designers and a strong focus on cultural relevance and global competitiveness. Key highlights include waived show fees for designers, and the highly anticipated return of iconic brands like Burberry, Roksanda, and JW Anderson. The schedule reflects a designer-first approach: ambitious, purposeful and rooted in the creative energy that defines the city, the BFC said on its website. London icons Burberry, Erdem, Emilia Wickstead, Simone Rocha and Roksanda return to schedule, with Roksanda celebrating the brand's 20th year, alongside long-standing talent incubator Fashion East, which marks its 25th anniversary. This season, JW Anderson will host a special evening event in collaboration with the BFC to celebrate the brand's relaunch. BFC/Vogue Designer Fashion Fund winner Conner Ives will show this September, alongside cult label Chopova Lowna who will return to the LFW schedule. The line-up also includes; Ahluwalia, Harris Reed, Labrum London, Marques' Almeida, Paolo Carzana, Patrick Mcdowell, Richard Quinn, Talia Byre and Tove. BFC NEWGEN designers to showcase physically and digitally include Aaron Esh, Aletta, Charlie Constantinou, Ewusie, Johanna Parv, Karoline Vitto, Kazna Asker, Liza Keane, Louther, Lueder, Octi, Oscar Ouyang, Pauline Dujancourt, Steve O Smith, Tolu Coker, The Ouze, The Winter House and Yaku. Bridging culture and commerce, LFW will also feature retail-led activations, with stylist Harry Lambert launching a Disney X Zara collection at Selfridges, and H&M which is returning to the schedule with 'The London Issue' catwalk. In a significant moment of cultural exchange, celebrated Indian designer Anamika KHANNA will make her LFW debut, reflecting the BFC's new commitment to international collaboration and hosting global talent. Other catwalk debuts include Dreaming Eli, Kseniaschnaider and Rory William Docherty. Kyle HO, Lucila Safdie and adaptive fashion brand Unhidden will also make debuts this season with standalone presentations. Fibre2Fashion News Desk (RR)
