The Best Looks From London Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2024

Tolu Coker

Tolu Coker has fast become one of the most talked-about shows on the London Fashion Week schedule—for good reason. The British-Nigerian designer made her debut with the support of the British Fashion Council’s NewGen program, and paid homage to her Yoruba roots via modern twists on traditional styles and even a video portraying a naming ceremony.—Claire Stern, digital director

KNWLS

KNWLS is for the woman on the go, and this season, creative director Charlotte Knowles reimagined her signature wardrobe pieces in motion. Fringed minidresses were shown with her signature cropped and corseted leather jackets and swishy bias-cut dresses. The unusual color combination of seafoam green, burnt orange, and natural brown all somehow worked, and her accessories continue to be mainstays. This collection is fit for globetrotters like Dua Lipa and Kylie Jenner, fans of the brand who we can’t wait to see rock this beautifully chaotic collection.—Kevin LeBlanc, fashion associate

Simone Rocha

On a rainy Sunday afternoon at the English National Ballet, the Simone Rocha universe continued to expand. Her house codes —pearls, tulle, ruffles, and ribbons—were met with refreshingly spare satin and nylon, letting shape take center stage, while a new collab with Crocs made its triumphant debut. Of course, there was still embellishment aplenty, including a delightful set of looks resembling wedding cakes adorned with larger-than-life bows and rosettes. But the showstoppers? Armfuls of real roses tucked between layers of tulle, a perfectly balletic finale.—Rosie Jarman, fashion associate

Tove

At Tove, sexiness and simplicity were paramount with transparent lace exposing the body underneath. The looks offered something not too out of the ordinary, but with just enough oomph to create intrigue. Above all, the collection was wearable, with pieces draping off the torso just so, allowing the garments to move naturally.—Noelia Rojas-West, freelance fashion assistant

Susan Fang

As models walked the runway at Susan Wang, the ruffles and transparent fabrics shuffled in a way that was almost hypnotizing. There was a thoughtfulness to the details: florals, eccentric accessories, and star shapes combined to strike the perfect balance between soft and edgy.—Noelia Rojas-West, freelance fashion assistant

Richard Quinn

It takes a great collection to stand out in one of London’s grandest ballrooms, but when it comes to Richard Quinn, grandeur is a given. This season, however, the designer’s presentation was impactful for reasons beyond his trademark maximalist prints and avant-garde silhouettes—each couture-like garment served as a tribute to his beloved father, who passed away in last June. Fueled by a desire to make him proud, Quinn exhibited some of his finest craftsmanship to date, meticulously adorning garments with floral appliqués, minute beads and gems, and hand-embroidered velvet patterns. The collection was not only beautiful, but meaningful—a powerful reminder of art’s healing power.—Elena Plumb, freelance fashion assistant

16Arlington

The working women and men of 16Arlington prove that “dress to impress” applies to every affair. With a strategic progression of looks, the label showcased exaggerated tailoring in neutral colors complimented with saturated hues of red and blue oversized sequins and feathers. The range is an elevated take on everyday workwear, and the undeniable cohesiveness from start to finish offers a look for every occasion next spring.—Emily Goldberg, freelance fashion assistant

Feben

Feben shared a very honest view of the female body, both literally and metaphorically. transparent panels placed with intention and intricate beadwork contrasted the organic prints and fabric manipulation that accentuated the female form. Feben’s own naked body was even screen-printed onto the clothes, representing broken beauty standards and her conscious rejection of them. The collection is as visually striking as it is thought-provoking.—Emily Goldberg, freelance fashion assistant

Roksanda

For SS24, Roksanda played with proportion. Dark and modest yet oversized tailoring was succeeded by a blossoming of deep cobalt and soft pale colors in expressive prints and effortlessly draped silhouettes. The collection put it all on the table, and showcased the ever-changing and complex nature of the modern woman: a thoughtful fusion of structure and natural movement.—Emily Goldberg, freelance fashion assistant

JW Anderson

JW Anderson is operating on a different level these days. Who else is making runway looks molded from literal clay? Beyond the Claymation fantasy he served up, the designer also worked with feathers, plastic, and hula hoops to give an almost 4D touch to the lineup of what was otherwise just great clothes. After all, Anderson is a master of spinning what we know as basics of our wardrobe and reimagining them as something extraordinary, and even sometimes absurd. It doesn’t hurt that the accessories, and shoes specifically, were stylish and utterly wearable.—Kevin LeBlanc, fashion associate

Chopova Lowena

Fashion is getting sweet, and if their latest collection is any indication, Laura Lowena-Irons and Emma Chopova of Chopova Lowena are on board with the trend. Part folklore, part coming-of-age, the designer duo’s SS24 range, titled “Girl’s Tear, Girls Tear” catalogues the often tumultuous journey from girlhood to adulthood. Except in this version, there are ballet flats adorned with chains and fire engine red bags.—Claire Stern, digital director

Ahluwalia

According to creative director and founder Priya Ahluwalia, all the runway looks for SS24 were inspired by talented artists. It makes sense, then, that the prints are so alluring.—Noelia Rojas-West, freelance fashion assistant

Di Petsa

In a celebration of the natural female form, Di Petsa proves once again that self-love conquers all. Inspired heavily by Greek mythology, the designer’s signature “wet” look was reimagined in metallic fabrics and balanced with tousled, hand-knit dresses and delicately laced-up silhouettes that mimic the effects of a shipwreck. The result? Effortless seduction throughout the collection, as modeled by none other than Richie Shazam. All in all, it was unapologetically emotional and a true ode to divine femininity.—Emily Goldberg, freelance fashion assistant
