As we move through summer and closer to the autumn tinge of September, there is one event on the mind of many a fashionista and fashion brand in the UK: the next London Fashion Week (LFW). 

The good news is that much of the suspense is over; the provisional schedule has just been announced by the British Fashion Council (BFC). So, our luxe branding specialists here at Skywire London thought we would take a closer look at the details you ought to know. 

‍When is the next London Fashion Week?

Fans of all things fashion should make sure they are in the capital between the 15^th and 19^th of September for the full experience, which looks set to be a physical/digital hybrid experience, offering participants and audiences the best of both worlds.

‍Who is leading the pack? 

Although the final schedule will hit the Internet in August, Burberry seem to be the chosen frontrunners at this stage, along with JW Anderson, Simone Rocha, Erdem, and Roksanda, all of whom are set to stun visitors with their shows.

‍30 years of history 

As the celebrations coincide with the 30^th anniversary of the BFC’s NEWGEN talent showcase, this year's LFW is also set to host a landmark exhibition. Titled REBEL: 30 Years of London Fashion, the show will be sponsored by Alexander McQueen, with Sarah Mower, the BFC’s Ambassador for Emerging Talent, guest curating. 

The exhibition is expected to open on 16^th September and will run at the capital’s Design Museum until 11^th February 2024, acknowledging the creations of over 300 designers.
