London Fashion Week

25 years deep, the talent incubator is still churning out stars. We met the school of SS26 for a chat in the Fashion East offices.

Cate Blanchett and Saoirse Ronan are just some of the A-listers that flock to Hodakova. But for its designer-founder, Ellen Hodakova Larsson, upcycling is just part of her upbringing.

From bonkers cakes at pop star birthday parties to intimate fashion dinner desserts, it seems everyone from Chopova Lowena to A$AP Rocky wants a slice.

This season, young designers were LFW’s beating heart, from Dilara’s Fındıkoğlu's Venus display, Jawara’s curious mind and Stefan Cooke’s much-loved womenswear. Burberry and Simone Rocha, meanwhile, pulled out all the stops.

With shows from Di Petsa, Chopova Lowena, Puppets and Puppets, Yuhan Wang, Chet Lo, S.S.Daley and Harris Reed.

Happy 40th birthday, LFW! Here are the best bits from Burberry, JW Anderson, Aaron Esh, Fashion East, 16Arlington, Molly Goddard, Simone Rocha and loads more.
