London Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2023 kicked off with a vibrant display of eccentricity, featuring both physical and digital shows from 17 to 21 February. The event honoured the legacies of late designers Vivienne Westwood, Paco Rabanne, and Thierry Mugler, while showcasing joyful collections from Britain's top fashion talents.
Celebrities flocked to the front rows, with Florence Pugh serving as compère for Harris Reed's show at the Tate Modern. The actress wore a silver and ebony harlequin two-piece, complete with a structured velvet corset, side-split skirt, and matching headpiece. She encouraged the audience to embrace 'the lamé and sequins of life'.
Jodie Turner-Smith attended Reed's show in an ethereal cream lace garment with sheer tulle and an off-the-shoulder style, paired with tailored black trousers and a signature headpiece. Lisa Rinna opted for rock glam in a crystal-embellished navy waistcoat and sequin bell bottoms.
Day Two featured maximalist designs from Bora Aksu, Di Petsa, and others. Lady Amelia Windsor wore a salmon pink frock with lace-piped jacquard silk and ruffled off-the-shoulder detailing at Bora Aksu. Mia Regan attended the Connor Ives show in a patchwork halterneck dress, while Lily James paid tribute to Vivienne Westwood with a pearl choker at the ES x Perfect Magazine party.
