Chopova Lowena carabiner skirt? Check. Charles Jeffrey beanie? Ordered. Battery packs? On standby – because London Fashion Week is almost upon us.
Come February, the city’s style set begins preparing for five days of chaos, charisma and gloriously unfiltered dressing. The eccentric younger sister to New York, Paris and Milan, London thrives on the thrill of the new, with emerging talent constantly pouring out of Central Saint Martins, London College of Fashion and Westminster. The result? A schedule that rarely offers a quiet moment.
Of the four fashion capitals, London remains the most rebellious. In recent seasons, we’ve watched forward-thinking names like Labrum, Chet Lo, Yuhan Wang, Susan Fang, Ahluwalia and Di Petsa rise from cult favourites to schedule mainstays. Suddenly, tartan kilts, sculptural knits, flashes of frothy tulle and kaleidoscopic colourways are saturating the streets – meaning the resulting street style imagery is pretty epic.
Each season, the city’s most talented and devoted street style photographers emerge en masse to document the brilliance of British style – and we think it’s time they get their flowers. Meet the creators behind the camera below.
