Fashion Month Dispatch: Trends, Highlights, and the Designers We're Loving

Fashion Month is in full swing, and the world's most stylish cities are alive with creativity, innovation, and a whole lot of flair. From New York's bustling streets to London's eclectic runways, we're soaking up all the inspiration we can get. As lovers of fashion and keen observers of industry shifts, we're excited to share some of the standout moments and trends that have caught our eye—especially those close to home at London Fashion Week.

London Fashion Week: Where Tradition Meets Innovation

Emilia Wickstead: A Canvas of Bold Elegance

Emilia Wickstead has done it again. Her Spring/Summer 2025 collection was a masterclass in blending timeless elegance with modern artistry. Drawing inspiration from trailblazing female artists, Wickstead presented pieces that were both sophisticated and refreshingly bold. Vibrant colours, dramatic silhouettes, and intricate details came together to celebrate femininity in all its forms.

We were captivated by how she managed to infuse classic tailoring with unexpected twists—think asymmetrical cuts and striking prints that demand a second look. It's this fusion of the traditional and the avant-garde that makes Wickstead one of our favourites this season.

KNWLS: Edgy Meets Empowered

If there's one show that had everyone talking, it was KNWLS. Designers Charlotte Knowles and Alexandre Arsenault served up a collection that's unapologetically edgy and undeniably cool. With a muted palette of earthy tones and a focus on textures like distressed leather and sheer mesh, the collection exuded a raw, rebellious energy.

What we loved most was how KNWLS managed to make a subversive style feel accessible. The layering, the unexpected cutouts, and the fusion of tough and tender elements made each piece feel like a statement worth making. It's clear that KNWLS is carving out a unique space in the fashion landscape, and we're here for it.

Wolf & Badger: Showcasing Independent Talent

London Fashion Week isn't just about the big names; it's also a platform for emerging designers and independent brands. Wolf & Badger plays a crucial role in this space by offering a platform for small brands to showcase their collections to a broader audience.This year, they continue to support independent designers during Fashion Week, providing them with the opportunity to present their work both online and in-store. We collaborate with many of these brands, producing high-quality imagery that helps them shine on the Wolf & Badger site.

It's inspiring to see how platforms like Wolf & Badger empower emerging talent, aligning with the industry's growing emphasis on sustainability and ethical production. By offering visibility and support, they help diversify the fashion landscape and bring fresh perspectives to the forefront.

What's Next: Eyes on Milan and Paris

As the fashion pack moves on to Milan and Paris, our anticipation is building. These cities are synonymous with luxury and high fashion, and we can't wait to see what's in store.

Stella McCartney: Sustainable Chic in Paris

Stella McCartney is always a highlight, and this season promises to be no different. Known for her unwavering commitment to sustainability, McCartney consistently challenges the industry to do better. We're eager to see how she balances eco-friendly practices with cutting-edge design in her upcoming collection.

Her previous shows have masterfully combined minimalist aesthetics with innovative materials, and we're predicting more of the same brilliance. Plus, with sustainability becoming an ever more pressing topic, her work feels especially relevant.

Casablanca: The Art of Modern Luxury

Casablanca is another brand that's on our radar. Blending Moroccan heritage with modern luxury, their collections are a vibrant mix of colour, pattern, and relaxed elegance. Their ability to evoke a sense of wanderlust while maintaining a polished aesthetic is something we admire greatly.

We're particularly excited to see how Casablanca continues to evolve their narrative. Will there be new explorations of textiles and form? Fresh interpretations of classic motifs? Whatever they bring to the Parisian runways, we're certain it will be a feast for the senses.

Trends We're Loving This Season

Fashion Month isn't just about individual collections—it's also a barometer for the trends that will shape the industry in the coming year. Here are a few that have caught our attention:

  • Sustainability Takes the Spotlight: More than ever, designers are making sustainability a core part of their mission. From using eco-friendly materials to implementing ethical production practices, the industry is taking significant steps towards a greener future. It's heartening to see environmental consciousness becoming a standard rather than an exception.
  • The Rise of Digital Experiences: With the past few years pushing us towards digital innovation, fashion shows are no longer limited to physical spaces. Virtual runways, interactive online experiences, and augmented reality are enhancing how we experience fashion. This fusion of technology and style is also opening up new avenues for accessibility too.
  • Gender Fluidity in Design: Gender norms in fashion are continuing to blur, with many designers embracing androgyny and fluidity in their collections. This shift not only reflects a more inclusive mindset but also expands the possibilities for self-expression through clothing.
  • Bold Colours and Prints: Vibrancy is back! We're seeing a resurgence of bold colours, dynamic prints, and daring combinations. From neon hues to intricate patterns, designers are encouraging us all to embrace the joy and excitement that fashion can bring.

Behind the Scenes: Our Takeaways from Fashion Month

Being immersed in Fashion Month is an exhilarating experience. It's a whirlwind of culture, innovation, and collaboration. Here are some of our personal reflections:

  • Collaboration is Key: Whether it's designers working with artists, brands partnering with sustainability advocates, or the fusion of technology and fashion, collaboration is driving the industry forward.
  • Storytelling Matters: The most impactful collections are those that tell a story, whether it's personal, cultural, or societal. Fashion as a medium for storytelling adds depth and resonance to the designs.
  • Embracing Change: The fashion industry is in a state of constant evolution. Embracing new ideas, technologies, and perspectives is essential for growth and relevance.

Final Thoughts

Fashion Month is more than a series of events—it's a celebration of imagination and a glimpse into the future of style. From the inspiring collections at London Fashion Week to the much-anticipated shows in Milan and Paris, there's so much to explore and appreciate.

We're grateful to be part of this vibrant community, continually inspired by the designers, models, artists, and all the behind-the-scenes talent that make Fashion Month possible. Here's to the creatives, the passion, and the endless possibilities that fashion brings to our sight.
