Fendi, Prada, Moschino, GCDS, Dsquared2...

Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons’s second collection as creative directors sees the grandeur of cinematic glamour merge with a palpable optimism for a freeing post-pandemic world.

Moschino’s creative director places emphasis – perhaps more than ever – on the need for fantasy, optimism and hope for the Italian house’s AW21 collection.

Almost a month ago, the Italian house’s creative director presented his first couture collection with a focal lens on Great British bohemianism. This time round, he’s fully immersed in the Fendi family’s ancestral roots.

Closing London Fashion Week with a great big bang are two newcomers this season, HRH and Jawara Alleyne, while Maximilian, Goom and Nensi Dojaka evolve their designs in even more inventive ways.

This season, Virgil Abloh follows a stream of designers tapping into the digitally reliant world of today with a first-time co-ed collection feeling as present as ever.
